[Intro]
Yeah, we started from the ground, you know?
They wanna bring me down, but I’m still here, oh.
[Verse 1]
From the ashes, I rose, a phoenix in the night,
Hustling hard, holding dreams so tight.
Had a pocket full of hope, no silver or gold,
But with every step I took, I broke the mold.
[Pre-Chorus]
They laughed when I stumbled, but I learned how to stand,
They could never see the fire burning in my hands.
Now they’re watching me rise, the envy’s setting in,
But bitches can’t stand to see me win.
[Chorus]
I’m shining like the stars, breaking every chain,
It’s hard for them to face that I’m driving them insane.
From nothing to something, I’m in it to stay,
They can’t dim my light, I’ll light up the way.
[Verse 2]
Used to sit in the back while they played their games,
Now I’m front-row center, rewriting the names.
Doors were closed, but I made a key,
With every step forward, I'm finding me.
[Pre-Chorus]
They talk behind my back, yeah, it fuels my desire,
Every word they say, just adds to my fire.
Can’t drag me down now, the victory's mine,
And bitches can’t stand to see me shine.
[Chorus]
I’m shining like the stars, breaking every chain,
It’s hard for them to face that I’m driving them insane.
From nothing to something, I’m in it to stay,
They can’t dim my light, I’ll light up the way.
[Bridge]
Gonna rise up high, no fear in sight,
With every challenge faced, I’m ready to fight.
They can’t steal my joy, can’t mute my song,
I’m a warrior, baby, and I’m right where I belong.
[Outro]
So let them talk, let them stare in dismay,
I’ll keep hustling hard, I’m making my way.
From nothing to glory, let the world spin,
Watch out now, girl, ‘cause I’m destined to win!
