(Intro)
(Ayy, yeah) You thought I’d stay down? Nah.
(Ayy, yeah) Watch me now.
(Verse 1)
Came in silent, now the whole place watchin’ (uh)
Turned their jokes to gold, now they keep talkin’ (yeah)
Thought I’d break when they tore me down? (hah)
Now I’m back, now I run this town (woo)
Potion prank, thought I’d fall in shame (huh)
Tried to laugh, now they chant my name (whoa)
They threw dirt, but I plant my roots (roots)
Turned that loss to a silk-lined suit (whoa)
They schemed, they planned, thought they blocked my way (nah)
Now they froze when I made my play (huh)
Walked in wrecked but I still shined bright (bright)
Turned their tricks to a brand-new light (hah)
You see me now, yeah, top of the throne (throne)
Thought I’d choke? Nah, boy, I’m grown (whoa)
Flipped the game, took the L, made art (art)
Now they stand back—watch me spark (yeah)
(Pre-Chorus)
Hold up—step back—know your place (whoa)
Talk big—can’t match my pace (nah)
Thought I’d break? Nah—big mistake (yeah)
Watch me rise—watch you shake (woo)
(Chorus)
Step up—step wrong—you fumble (uh)
Came for me? Now you crumble (whoa)
Tried to stop? Nah, too late (late)
Now I’m here—own my fate (yeah)
(Verse 2)
Y’all whisper low but my name get loud (whoa)
Saw the dress fade, thought I lost my crown (nah)
Did me dirty, thought I’d bow and hide? (hah)
Took that loss and I flipped the tide (whoo)
Built my throne outta fire and dust (yeah)
Haters talk, but they watch, they must (huh)
Said I’m weak? Nah, I’m built too strong (strong)
Took that hate, now it fuels my song (hah)
Yeah, they schemed, yeah, they played their tricks (woo)
Saw me glow, now they bite their lips (huh)
Turned their whispers into cheers instead (yeah)
Took their doubt, put a crown on my head (whoa)
(Pre-Chorus)
Hold up—step back—know your place (whoa)
Talk big—can’t match my pace (nah)
Thought I’d break? Nah—big mistake (yeah)
Watch me rise—watch you shake (woo)
(Chorus)
Step up—step wrong—you fumble (uh)
Came for me? Now you crumble (whoa)
Tried to stop? Nah, too late (late)
Now I’m here—own my fate (yeah)
(Bridge)
Took my pain, turned it all to gold (uh)
Now I flex, now I stand too bold (whoa)
Tried to block me, but I found my way (huh)
Now they look but got nothin’ to say (hah)
(Outro)
Yeah. Thought you won? Think twice.
Y’all wrote jokes? I wrote my life.
Turned my pain into my stage.
I don’t fall—I rise.
