Intro – Spoken Word]
They see the shine but not the burn,
The medals but not the lessons learned.
Every step I took was inked in fire,
Every scar — a verse in my empire.
[Verse 1]
I walked through silence louder than screams,
Where dreams were buried beneath broken dreams.
No mentor, no map, just a will to fight,
A candle in storms, chasing light.
They said, “Success is earned,” but never showed the toll,
Of starving to feed a vision, of selling parts of soul.
I stitched my purpose from pain and thread,
Built a future from words I bled.
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore my failures like armor,
My setbacks made me sharper.
Every “no” became a spark,
Fueling fire in the dark.
[Chorus]
I’m inked in fire, carved by storms,
Not born for comfort — I break norms.
This story ain’t clean, it’s raw and true,
And now I wear it — so can you.
From ashes to anthem, from broken to bold,
Wear your story — let it unfold.
[Verse 2]
I coached my way from pain to peace,
Turned grit into growth, found my release.
NEWSTART gave me tools to heal,
Now I help others find what’s real.
I lace their steps with purpose and grace,
Help them run their own sacred race.
From rural roots to global reach,
I teach what scars can truly teach.
[Bridge – Spoken Word over ambient keys/guitar]
This isn’t just a hustle — it’s a calling.
Not about rising fast, but rising after falling.
Your story is sacred, your pain is proof,
That you were built to stand on truth.
[Final Chorus]
I’m inked in fire, carved by storms,
Not born for comfort — I break norms.
This story ain’t clean, it’s raw and true,
And now I wear it — so can you.
From ashes to anthem, from broken to bold,
Wear your story — let it unfold.
[Outro – Spoken Word]
So don’t hide your scars — they’re your script.
Don’t silence your truth — let it rip.
Resilience isn’t pretty, but it’s power.
Wear your story. This is your hour.
