Intro – calm / spoken]
They said I was soft…
They didn’t know softness can sharpen.
⸻
[Verse 1]
I was raised on “be gentle,” “sit still,” “be sweet”
Smile for the world, keep peace at your feet
They called me a princess, hands folded tight
But nobody saw I was learning to fight
Not with fists — with patience and will
With quiet refusals, with learning “no” still
Every tear was a lesson in steel
Every heartbreak taught me what’s real
They loved me fragile, easy to hold
But I felt a fire they never told
You can wear silk and still grow scars
You can dream big inside small bars
⸻
[Hook / Chorus]
I was a crown before I was a blade
Grace in my walk, but I’m not afraid
I learned my power wasn’t given — it’s made
Princess to warrior, unafraid
I still shine, I still feel
But now I stand, now I heal
I don’t need a throne to know I’m real
There’s a crown in my bones they can’t steal
⸻
[Verse 2]
They thought strength meant losing my light
But I kept my glow and learned to fight
I didn’t harden, I refined
Turned broken glass into a spine
Still wear kindness like gold on my skin
But now my boundaries are iron within
You can’t shame me into shrinking small
I learned grace can stand tall
I’m not cold, I’m not cruel
I just don’t play by their rule
Soft voice, strong stance
I choose respect, not chance
⸻
[Bridge – slower / emotional rise]
I didn’t lose the girl I was
I gave her armor because…
She deserved protection too
And the only knight she needed grew.
⸻
[Final Hook / Outro – big anthem energy]
I was a crown before I was a blade
Now I’m both — watch the way I’m made
Silk and steel in the same cascade
Princess to warrior, never afraid
I still dream, I still kneel
But I rise, I reveal
No kingdom needed for me to feel
There’s a crown in my bones — and it’s real.
