True story

Yeah, this is a true story, about you and me

Lessons learned, scars earned, now I finally see

They said I wouldn’t make it, whispers in the dark

But I carried hope, fierce fire in my heart

You told me I’d fail, said I’d never be enough

Now look at me standing tall, rising above

Laughing through the pain, I turned doubts into fuel

From shadows of doubt, I broke every rule

Your words were a chain, but I broke free

Now I’m shining brighter, for all to see

Just look at me now, I proved you wrong

Stronger than ever, where I belong

Ha ha ha, I laugh after them, yeah

I’m proud of what I’ve become, I’m standing strong

Better than the rest, I’ve righted my wrongs

Just look at me now, I moved along

Wiser with time, learned to forgive

If you can’t say something good, better not to say it at all

Respect and growth, that’s my new call

From pain to power, I stand tall

This is a true story, about you and me

From shadows to sunlight, I finally see

Ha ha ha, I laugh after them, yeah

Just look at me now, chained no more, I’m free
