Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (whispered, wind blowing, soft thunder in background) "You thought I was gone... But baby — I was just building." (pause) "Brick by brick… From the rubble they left me in." --- [Verse 1] I gave all I had — till I bled Built homes in hearts that left me for dead Turned pain into purpose with every step While they counted me out, I just took breath They saw ruins — I saw roots Dug deep down, watered my truth It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t clean. But it was mine — and now I’m queen --- [Pre-Chorus] Can’t break a woman who’s risen before I don’t knock — I build my own doors Ashes still on my hands But baby, I got plans --- [Chorus] This is my empire Built from dust, from fire From every “you ain’t enough” From nights when life was rough I stacked pain like bricks Turned heartbreak into grit Now I rise, calm but tough Bow down — to the woman made from dust --- [Verse 2] I used to beg just to be seen Now I glow without the need No title given — I claimed mine No cosign — just divine They fed me lies, I learned to fast From silence I found strength that lasts Tired? Yeah. But still I show 'Cause queens don’t fold — we grow --- [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t made of gold or glass I’m the storm that learned to pass Still soft, but don’t confuse This crown was forged by truth --- [Chorus] This is my empire Built from dust, from fire From every “you ain’t enough” From nights when life was rough I stacked pain like bricks Turned heartbreak into grit Now I rise, calm but tough Bow down — to the woman made from dust --- [Verse 3] I walk through ruins like royalty Made magic outta loyalty To myself, to my worth Rebuilt joy right from the dirt They took, they left, they doubted me But baby — I’m still legacy So if they ask what strength looks like Tell ‘em: she survived… and built a life --- [Final Chorus + Outro] This is my empire Built from dust, from fire She ain’t broken — she became Every flame, every name I stacked pain like bricks Turned heartbreak into grit Now I rise, calm but tough Bow down — to the woman made from dust (soft echo) “From dust… I rise
