Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
They see where I’m going
They don’t know what it took to get here
Every scar had a price
Every lesson left a mark
[Verse 1]
I came from a home where the silence got loud
Where a kid learned early not to trust the crowd
Had pain in the walls, had blame in the air
Had people say they loved me, then disappear
I grew up too fast, had survival in my chest
Never had a blueprint, had to learn from the mess
Every loss made me colder, every lie made me sharp
Till I carried all that darkness like a match in the dark
Then the streets looked familiar, same chaos, new name
Same anger in my blood, just a different kind of pain
Thought danger made me stronger, thought fear meant respect
Till I nearly lost my life chasing what came next
[Hook]
I was built from the damage, raised by the scars
Made it through the nights when I couldn’t see far
They expected me broken, expected me gone
But the weight that should’ve crushed me made me carry on
I don’t hide where I came from, I just don’t live there now
Turned the pain into a purpose, made a future from the doubt
Every wound left a lesson, every fall made me stand
I’m not proud of all the ashes
But I’m proud of who I am
[Verse 2]
Had friends call me brother while they stole from my hand
Had love turn to betrayal, then rewrite who I am
Had my name dragged through rooms I had never stepped inside
While the ones who made the damage stood protected by their lies
I kept covering for people who would never cover me
Kept believing loyalty meant ignoring what I’d see
Till I learned that being faithful doesn’t mean you stay abused
And forgiving someone’s choices doesn’t mean you stay confused
I stopped chasing explanations, stopped defending every claim
Started building something bigger than the people throwing blame
They can keep their version of me, keep the stories that they sell
I know exactly who I am—I had to meet him down in hell
[Bridge]
I survived the home
I survived the streets
I survived the people
Who said they loved me
Now survival ain’t the goal
It’s time to build
[Verse 3]
Now I’m thirty-something, got a daughter watching close
So I measure every step by what I want her to know
That a man ain’t defined by the worst thing he’s done
He’s defined by the moment he decides not to run
I want her seeing strength without violence in the frame
Want her knowing she can rise without carrying my pain
So I’m building every day, putting work behind the dream
Trying to leave her something greater than the life that raised me
I got visions in my head they said I’d never bring alive
Now the same man they counted out is learning how to thrive
I’m not finished, I’m not famous, I’m not claiming that I won
But I’m miles from the person that I almost became once
[Final Hook]
I was built from the damage, raised by the scars
Made it through the nights when I couldn’t see far
They expected me broken, expected me gone
But the weight that should’ve crushed me made me carry on
I don’t hide where I came from, I
