The Rival appears to have his own agenda

[Rival]
So, what if they are right
And he's so remarkable
How does that affect me?

Ever since I was a child
It all came so easy
I never had to try

If he's as brilliant as they say
How will I be noticed?
Now I'm not so special... anymore

I'm not sure why I'm afraid
No, he won't beat me
Not without a fight, no!

One day I'll show them
I am the genius
One day the whole world will know
One day I'll show them
Who he really is
One day they'll know
