[Verse 1]
Bad woman
Good heart
Learned the difference
Tore me apart
Used to shrink so you’d feel tall
Now I’m ten feet in these flaws
Talk slick, I don’t talk weak
Every word got roots, got teeth
Cut me deep, yeah, you drew blood
I came back as my own flood (uh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Used to let ’em tug my strings
Now I hold the hands that hold me
Used to beg for smaller dreams
Now I own the sky that chose me (yeah)
[Chorus]
Bad woman with a good heart
I don’t play ’bout me and mine
Won’t let nothing hold me back
Every scar is by design
Run my mouth but I keep composure
Every truth sharpened over time
I’m a survivor through the pain
Turned that pressure into shine (into shine)
[Verse 2]
They said “sit down, be nice”
I said “watch me kiss this life”
Turn my anger into aim
Every wound, I give it name
I’ve been broken, I’ve been bent
Still collect my own percent
Love is earned, respect is earned
I’m the lesson they ain’t learned (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
Used to chase what pulled away
Now I bless the ones who stay here
Used to pray to lose my flame
Now I guard it like a great fear (yeah)
[Chorus]
Bad woman with a good heart
I don’t play ’bout me and mine
Won’t let nothing hold me back
Every scar is by design
Run my mouth but I keep composure
Every truth sharpened over time
I’m a survivor through the pain
Turned that pressure into shine
[Bridge]
Held my breath
Now I roar
What I settle for?
Never more
If it costs my peace
That’s too high
I choose me
That’s my why (that’s my why)
[Chorus]
Bad woman with a good heart
I don’t play ’bout me and mine
Won’t let nothing hold me back
Every scar is by design
Run my mouth but I keep composure
Every truth sharpened over time
I’m a survivor through the pain
Turned that pressure into shine (oh)
Bad woman with a good heart
That’s the reason that I rise
