[Verse]
Grateful for the villains, they schooled me on the grind,
Taught me what to dodge, what to leave behind.
They threw the shade, but I found my sun,
Now I run the race, marathon ain't done.
[Verse 2]
Life ain't roses, but I learned through the thorns,
Evil set the stage, now my good life's born.
Respect it all, even the bitter pill,
They showed me the lows, now I aim to thrill.
[Chorus]
Grateful for the pain, it shaped my soul,
Taught me to swerve when the darkness stole.
I want the good life, built it brick by brick,
Turned the poison to power, that's my trick.
[Verse 3]
Main people taught me, respect's the key,
If it's up to the world or it's up to me.
Polished my armor, they sharpened my blade,
Now I carve my path, unafraid, unscathed.
[Bridge]
Evil whispers lessons, wrapped in disguise,
Taught me to spot truth, even in the lies.
They threw the storms, but I built my boat,
Now I ride the waves, every single note.
[Chorus]
Grateful for the pain, it shaped my soul,
Taught me to swerve when the darkness stole.
I want the good life, built it brick by brick,
Turned the poison to power, that's my trick.
