[Verse 1]
Got bruises that you can't see
Laughing on the outside, storming underneath
Turn my scars into tattoos
Every line on my skin says “I lived through”
Mama worked two shifts, lights kept flicker-ing
I learned how to pray while the plate stayed shimmering
Friends turned ghosts when the bills came due
Had to bet on myself, all-in, all-true
[Chorus]
Through pain, I found my name
Had to walk through the fire just to glow this way
Through pain, I changed my fate
All the nights that I cried turned to gold on my chain
Yeah, I bled for this
Every tear, every hit
Through pain, I learned to stay
Now I'm louder than the voices that said “won't make it” (won't make it)
[Verse 2]
Talked to the mirror like, “boy, don’t break”
Heart on the floor, still raising the stakes
Cold floor, one blanket, one dream
Wrote a whole future on a cracked phone screen
They said “sit down,” I said “watch this”
Turned every doubt to a checklist
Now my past calls, I let it ring
'Cause I only pick up when my blessings sing
[Chorus]
Through pain, I found my name
Had to walk through the fire just to glow this way
Through pain, I changed my fate
All the nights that I cried turned to gold on my chain
Yeah, I bled for this
Every tear, every hit
Through pain, I learned to stay
Now I'm louder than the voices that said “won’t make it” (oh, I made it)
