Heart on my sleeve but I’m guarded too
Learned the hard way what I gotta do
If you ain’t real, I can’t keep you close
People come and go, but I keep my soul
Seen a lot, yeah, had to heal from pain
I ain’t built for playin’ no games
Tough as nails, but I stay in my lane
They throw shade, but I walk in the rain
I been down, now I’m risin’ up
They want a piece, but they ain’t done enough
Kept my cool, yeah, I stay in control
On my own path, yeah, I’m chasin’ gold
Trust don’t come easy, I learned it slow
People say they’re with you, then they let you go
Through the highs and lows, yeah, I kept it true
Buildin’ up a life that I can hold onto
You don’t know what it took just to get this far
In the dark times, I became a star
Now I’m movin’ in silence, let ‘em guess my next
Let my actions speak, I don’t need no flex
I been down, now I’m risin’ up
They want a piece, but they ain’t done enough
Kept my cool, yeah, I stay in control
On my own path, yeah, I’m chasin’ gold
I got a past, but I own it all
Through every stumble, every fall
Only way to grow is to feel the hurt
Keep movin’ forward, know my worth
I been down, now I’m risin’ up
They want a piece, but they ain’t done enough
Kept my cool, yeah, I stay in control
On my own path, yeah, I’m chasin’ gold
Now I’m here, standin’ strong, they see
Built from the ashes, finally free
Every step forward, yeah, I feel the love
Can’t break me down, I’m more than enough
