[Verse]
Opinions hit my chest, bullets in a windstorm,
Voices in my ear, screaming "conform, conform,"
But I’m a diamond, pressure ain’t my home,
I carry scars, don’t need no chisel for this stone.
Toxic ties? They tried to drown me in the well,
Dug my way out, climbed from personal hell.
Survivor in my soul, phoenix in my wings,
A woman’s worth—more than gold or diamond rings.
[Prechorus]
Say I’m selfish, say I’m wrong,
But I’m choosing me, it’s been too long.
[Chorus]
I do what’s best for me, can’t please them all,
Crawled through the fire, now I stand tall.
Leave the hurt behind, let the poison flee,
This is my life, my destiny.
[Verse 2]
I heard the whispers, daggers in my spine,
But I’m building towers from their petty little lines.
Doubt tried to cage me, thought I’d lose my key,
But I’m Houdini with the lock, set myself free.
Survival ain’t a choice; it’s a woman’s art,
We sew the wounds, stitch back every torn part.
Roots deep in the earth, but I’m reaching sky,
They say I can’t, I laugh—watch me defy.
