[Intro – Brass Fanfare + Piano] (Batiste hits bold, celebratory chords.) Yeah… I walked through fire. And guess what? I ain’t charcoal. I’m steel. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 All that pain? It became my proof, Evidence of God in every truth. Storms tried fold me, fears tried claim me, Life tried break me, but the fire remade me. Lost my wife, but I kept my soul, Held my son like a fragile bowl. Faced down death in hospital halls, Learned how faith stands when everything falls. Job fell through but purpose ain’t shake, Pressure hit heavy but didn’t make me break. I took every blow like it carved my name— Came out shining with a harder flame. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook – Choir + Wayne] 🎶 I am steel, forged in the fight, Built in the dark, revealed in the light. Bend if I must, but I never kneel— Fire don’t break me… I am steel. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 You see strength now, but you don’t see nights Where I whispered prayers through shattered lights. Didn’t know how I’d stand, didn’t know how I’d heal, Till God said soft, “Son, you’re made of steel.” Fear came runnin’, but couldn’t stay long, ‘Cause faith walked in with a lion’s song. Carried my baby through July storms, Held him tight through uncertain forms. September mercy brought breath to my chest, Reminded me God don’t give less than His best. Now trials hit hard but I stay real— My soul got armor the flames can’t steal. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Choir Swells + Brass] 🎶 Steel don’t crumble, steel don’t fade, Steel hold strong in the world God made. Burn me, press me—watch me heal, Test me again… I’m still steel. 🎶 (Wayne murmurs: “Heated, beaten, but never defeated.”) ⸻ [Hook – Full Choir + Brass Lifting] 🎶 I am steel, forged in the fight, Shaped by the pain, strengthened in night. Storms may roar but I won’t yield— Fire don’t break me… I am steel. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 3 – Spoken + Rap] I said I wouldn’t break… and I meant that. Fire didn’t scare me— it taught me. Loss didn’t end me— it freed me. 🎶 Now every scar on my chest is a testament, Proof that the battle was heaven-sent. I’m walkin’ tall through every ordeal, ‘Cause every trial made my soul more real. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Hook – Choir, Strings, and Brass Full Glory] 🎶 I am steel, tempered and true, What I survived made me brand new. Break me? Never. Hurt me? Heal. Refined by God… I am steel. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Piano + Soft Choir] Yeah… I ain’t who I was. I’m who the fire made me— steel.

I AM STEEL
