[Verse]
Talked down, now they quiet in the static
Dreams felt heavy, turned the pain to a habit
Stacking my wins, bricks on a palace
Used to say I'd fail, now they searchin' my status
Fingers pointin', I was target practice
Streets cold, heart colder, made of granite
Whispers in the dark, said I’d vanish
Now my name echoes, panoramic
[Pre-Chorus]
They wanted me low, face in the dirt
Planted my soul, now I bloom through the hurt
[Chorus]
You doubted me, you doubted me
But look now, who’s countin’ me?
Tried to bury, now I’m free
Rising up where they can't see
[Verse 2]
Echoes of the past, rattlin' the chain links
Told me I’d drown, now my ship don't sink
Pockets on silence, now they talk in pinks
Was a ghost to 'em, now my shadow blinks
Climbed out the pit, dirt on my sleeves
Every scar’s proof of the grind I believe
They threw stones, I built with debris
Now they claim the roots, but not the seed
