[Verse 1]
Broken glass, cut feet, walked through the fire, no retreat
Hands full of scars, heart still beats, every loss taught me to compete
Ungrateful faces, snakes in the grasses,
Left me stranded but I turned it to classes
Took their knives, made a crown outta blades
Now I’m royalty, every bruise I parade
[Chorus]
Everything I’ve been through, built my own wealth
Ungrateful people taught me to love myself
Good times, bad times, all led to now
I’m the storm and the calm, don’t ask me how
[Verse 2]
Mirror cracked, but I see clearer
Every piece a puzzle, every flaw nearer
Tried to drown me, but I’m the wave
Surf on pain, every tear I forgave
They want the gold, but can’t mine the grind
I found myself when I left ‘em behind
[Prechorus]
Rocks in my path, I carved a throne
Lies in my ears, I built my own tone
[Chorus]
Everything I’ve been through, built my own wealth
Ungrateful people taught me to love myself
Good times, bad times, all led to now
I’m the storm and the calm, don’t ask me how
[Bridge]
Shadows in my rearview, fading out fast
No rearview needed, just forward at last
Every “no” lit the spark, every fall built the arc
Every hurt made me art, now I’m glowing in the dark
