Verse 1
Jumpin’ out the shadows, I’m claimin’ my space,
Had enough of the struggle, now I’m settin’ the pace.
They told me I was nothin’, I didn’t have a shot,
But I rose from the ashes, let me tell you what I got.
Built my worth like a fortress, every brick a belief,
Standing tall, unbreakable, the power of my grief.
Learned to love my scars, they’re a part of my art,
Respect myself first, that’s the place to start.
Chorus
I’m respectin’ the game, yeah, I’m playin’ it right,
With my head held high, I’m ready to fight.
No more doubt in my heart, no more fear in the night,
I’m a king in this life, watch me rise and ignite.
Verse 2
Used to be a shadow, now I’m breakin’ the mold,
Standin’ on my story, hear the truth that I told.
They can try to tear me down, but I’ll never fold,
Built from pure ambition, got a heart made of gold.
Every step is a lesson, every fall was a chance,
Now I’m calmin’ the storms like I learned how to dance.
Got my eyes on the prize, and my spirit is free,
When you respect yourself, you can truly be.
Bridge
Look in the mirror, yeah, I see a warrior,
No more chains, no more doubts, I’m the story’s curator.
With each breath, I remind myself who I am,
I got my own back, I’m my biggest fan.
Chorus
I’m respectin’ the game, yeah, I’m playin’ it right,
With my head held high, I’m ready to fight.
No more doubt in my heart, no more fear in the night,
I’m a king in this life, watch me rise and ignite.
Outro
So here’s to the dreamers, the fighters in the fray,
Take a stand for yourself, don’t let love fade away.
Respect the game you’re in, make the rules your own,
In the journey of life, you’ll find strength in your tone.
