[Verse 1]
I ain't had a silver spoon, just a plastic plate
Mama cried at night, said she pray I don't meet fate
Hood dreams, cold streets, where the love feel fake
I got used to pain early, now I serve it on a plate
Pops gone, I was young—had to teach myself
He ain’t leave a will, just a war with my mental health
Told God, "If you hear me, why the silence loud?"
Still I walk with my head high through the broken crowd
---
[Hook – 8 Bars, melodic & soulful]
There’s gold in my scars, I wear ‘em like chains
Pain in my voice, but I sing through the rain
Tryna heal in a world that profit off shame
They don’t see my heart, they just see my name
I bend, I break, I crawl, I climb
Still got love for the ones that crossed that line
Ain’t no crown without wounds on the way up
Still I shine through the dark, yeah I stay tough
---
[Verse 2]
I remember cold nights, roaches in the crib
Now I’m fightin’ demons with a pen like this a bid
Shorty left when it hurt, said I ain’t her type
Now she see the glow-up, tryna spin back twice
But I got wounds too deep to fake a smile
Granny said, "You got grace, just walk that mile"
I ain't rich yet, but I’m built from the storm
Where the soul stay heavy and the heart stay torn
---
[Hook – repeat with slight gospel harmony boost]
There’s gold in my scars, I wear ‘em like chains
Pain in my voice, but I sing through the rain
Tryna heal in a world that profit off shame
They don’t see my heart, they just see my name
I bend, I break, I crawl, I climb
Still got love for the ones that crossed that line
Ain’t no crown without wounds on the way up
Still I shine through the dark, yeah I stay tough
---
[Outro – spoken word optional layer for Suno bridge]
They counted me out before I even got started.
But I was never built to break.
I was made for this.
Gold in my scars…
That’s why I still shine.
