I remember every face that turned away,
Every name, every lie, every empty day.
I remember all the words the naysayers used to say.
Now I stand strong, on my own two feet,
And thanks to that, I made my own beat.
Now I'm standing tall, in a mindset with no more defeat, success at my feet.
[verse]
I was lost in the dark, no light, no guide,
All alone in the struggle, with no one by my side.
Called out for help, but nobody heard,
Every plea I made, fell flat, unheard.
Empty rooms and echoes, my only friends,
Had to hustle hard, make my own ends.
Built my own path, with blood, sweat, and tears,
Faced my demons, conquered all my fears.
[Hook]
Now they see the shine, they wanna be around,
Where were they when I was buried in the ground?
No support, no love, no hand to hold,
Now they want a piece, now they want my gold.]
Through the fire and the storm, I rose solo,
From the ashes like a phoenix, I glow.
With every heartbeat, I let the hustle flow,
Success now speaks, where shadows used to show.
[Verse]
In the mirror, I see strength, not pain,
A warrior who danced in the rain.
Flames couldn’t burn what’s born from strain,
Now the world recognizes the name.
Where were they when the battle was on,
When dreams seemed shattered, all hope gone?
