(Intro)
Yeah…
They see the smile now, they don’t know the story.
They see the wins, they don’t know the nights.
This one for every woman that had to build herself from nothing.
(Verse 1)
Started with a dream and a heart full of scars,
Staring out my window, wishing on the stars.
Didn’t have much, just a little bit of faith,
Trying to find my way while the world ran a race.
People switched sides when the road got rough,
Said I’d never make it, said I wasn’t enough.
Had tears on my pillow, pain in my chest,
Still got up every morning and gave it my best.
Worked long days, cried long nights,
Learned everybody ain’t riding when you’re fighting for your life.
Had my trust broke, had my heart bent,
Spent years trying to heal from the damage they left.
But every setback turned into a lesson,
Every closed door became another blessing.
Didn’t realize then what I know right now,
The pressure was building the woman I am now.
(Pre-Chorus)
I was down so low, couldn’t see the light,
But I kept on moving through the darkest nights.
Now I look around and I finally see,
Everything I prayed for was waiting on me.
(Chorus)
I came from the bottom, now I’m standing tall,
Every bruise, every tear helped me through it all.
Now I’m living life that I once dreamed about,
Found my voice when they tried to count me out.
I ain’t where I wanna be, but I ain’t where I was,
Thank God for the journey and everything it was.
From the girl who felt lost to the woman I became,
Built from the bottom, now they know my name.
(Verse 2)
Nowadays I move different, peace over drama,
Protecting my energy, making my mama proud.
Got people around me that love me for real,
No fake intentions, no hidden deals.
Used to beg for attention, now I know my worth,
Took a lot of pain just to learn that first.
Now I walk with confidence, head held high,
Because I survived every reason to cry.
Still got goals, still got dreams to chase,
Still got mountains that I’m trying to face.
But when I look back at the road I’ve crossed,
I realize every battle was worth the cost.
The little girl inside me would be proud today,
Seeing how I fought when they stood in my way.
She’d see the strength, she’d see the growth,
And know we made it farther than we ever had hoped.
(Bridge)
Ain’t no silver spoon, ain’t no easy route,
Everything I got, I had to figure out.
The struggle wrote the story, the pain wrote the pages,
Now I’m walking proof that healing comes in stages.
(Final Chorus)
I came from the bottom, now I’m standing tall,
Every bruise, every tear helped me through it all.
Now I’m living life that I once dreamed about,
Found my voice when they tried to count me out.
And if you’re down right now, keep pushing through,
One day you’ll see what you’re capable to do.
From the girl who felt lost to the woman I became,
Built from the bottom… and I’ll never be the same.
(Outro)
Yeah…
They only see the destination.
They don’t see the miles.
But every step mattered.
Every sc
