THEY (R&B Soul Flow)
Verse 1
She was just a girl, walking in the shadows
Dreams too big for the streets she followed
They laughed, pointed fingers, whispered her name
Tried to break her spirit, tried to keep her in chains
Bruises on her soul, but her heart stayed alive
Every tear she cried turned to fuel to survive
Pre-Chorus
They said she wouldn’t make it, they swore she’d fall
But she found her strength in the Lord above it all
Chorus
They tried to hold me down, but I rose higher
Turned my pain to purpose, lit my soul on fire
They called me broken, but God called me whole
Now I stand in power, unshaken, in control
They… oh they can’t define me no more
Verse 2
Years moved on, and she found her way
Books in her hands, she had words to say
Educated mind, a heart that could heal
Love overflowing, her spirit so real
Advocate for the voiceless, shelter in the storm
What they meant for evil, God used to transform
Pre-Chorus
They said she’d never rise, but she touched the sky
Grace in her steps, you can see it in her eyes
Chorus
They tried to hold me down, but I rose higher
Turned my pain to purpose, lit my soul on fire
They called me broken, but God called me whole
Now I stand in power, unshaken, in control
They… oh they can’t define me no more
Bridge
Obedient heart, walking in His plan
Carrying His light, lifting up my hands
Helping my sisters, healing my brothers
Spreading the truth, loving one another
What they said I couldn’t be, I already am
A living testimony in the Great I Am
Chorus (Final, Lifted)
They tried to hold me down, but I rose higher
Turned my pain to purpose, lit my soul on fire
They called me broken, but God called me whole
Now I shine in glory, redeemed in my soul
They… oh they can’t define me no more
Outro (Soft, Soulful)
They can talk, they can try, they can throw stones at my name
But I’m walking in my calling, I am free from their chains
They… oh they… can’t define me no more.
