Fuck em

Yeah…

They talked. I worked.

Watch me rise.

Ashley showed up clean and motivated, fresh salute

Brand new officer, boots still new

Eyes on her back in the hallway light

Whispers in ranks, they don’t sit right

Phone buzzing late, lines crossed quick

Captain got bold, saying foul ass shit

She shut it down, kept her head held high

But rumors spread faster than a battle cry

They wanna break you before you begin

Test your spine, see if you bend

But pressure don’t fold steel, nah

It forges it.

So fuck ’em, I’ma prove ’em wrong

I didn’t cheat, I stayed strong

They prayed I’d fail, prayed I’d fall

I stood tall and outworked them all

You can talk your shit all day

I earned my rank the hard way

Yo—

Captain running mouth, belly full of hate

Saying I fucked my way up the chain—straight fake

Couldn’t stand a woman doing better than him

So he wrote my ending before I could begin

“Can’t wait till you fail, till you’re discharged, gone”

Funny how I’m still here, stripes sewn on

Paperwork clean, record airtight

While he still mad every promotion night

I learned real quick who ain’t in your corner

Smiles in public, snakes when it’s over

But I don’t fold under bullshit lies

I document, dominate, then I rise

They throw dirt on your name

Then ask why you’re cold

I let my results

Say what I won’t.

So fuck ’em, I’ma prove ’em wrong

I didn’t cheat, I stayed strong

They prayed I’d fail, prayed I’d fall

I stood tall and outworked them all

You can doubt me all you want

I earned my rank, I earned my spot

Harassment ain’t leadership

Jealousy ain’t discipline

You tried to bury me alive

But I breathe pressure in

Chain of command ain’t clean when egos run it

Power don’t mean shit if you abuse it

I kept receipts, kept focus, kept pride

While you choked on the lies you tried to provide

So fuck ’em, I’ma prove ’em wrong

Graduated strong, still marching on

Didn’t break, didn’t bow, didn’t fail

I passed every test you prayed would derail

Say my name when I outrank you someday

I got promoted the right way

Yeah…

Talk don’t win wars.

Work does.
