[Verse 1]
They tried to shrink my shadow, step on my pride,
Throw dirt on my name, dragged it worldwide.
Bruises turned to bouquets, tears into sunlight,
Pain’s alchemy, made my wings take flight.
[Chorus]
They tried to bury me, but I’m a seed,
Roots grew deeper through the pain I bleed.
The best thing to happen was they doubted my glow,
Now I’m shining so bright, even the stars say "whoa."
[Verse 2]
Small laughs tickled big flames, now I'm untamed,
Life shot curveballs, but I mastered the game.
Voices in my head sang lullabies of fire,
Burned away their doubt, turned ashes to desire.
[Bridge]
Every “no” a step higher, every cut a new wire,
Plugged into my power, strummed the pain like a lyre.
Life handed me the coal, now I’m dripping in gold,
Turned every loss into jewels I'm bold.
[Chorus]
They tried to bury me, but I’m a seed,
Roots grew deeper through the pain I bleed.
The best thing to happen was they doubted my glow,
Now I’m shining so bright, even the stars say "whoa."
[Verse 3]
They talk, they squawk, tried to peck at my shell,
But a phoenix broke through, straight outta that hell.
Sweetest revenge is happiness they can’t touch,
Success tastes better when you’re hated this much.
