[Intro – gritty guitar, half-time drums]
Yeah…
They talked. I worked.
Watch me rise.
[Verse 1 – Rock, gritty vocals]
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
[Pre-Chorus – building tension]
They wanna break you before you begin
Test your spine, see if you bend
But pressure don’t fold steel, nah
It forges it.
[Chorus – big rock hook, shouted]
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
[Verse 2 – Rap verse, tight and aggressive]
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
[Pre-Chorus – half rap / half sung]
They throw dirt on your name
Then ask why you’re cold
I let my results
Say what I won’t.
[Chorus – full band, louder]
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
[Bridge – breakdown, low guitars]
Harassment ain’t leadership
Jealousy ain’t discipline
You tried to bury me alive
But I breathe pressure in
[Rap Bridge – slower, venomous]
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
[Final Chorus – anthemic, screamed backing vocals]
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
[Outro – echoing vocals, fading riff]
Yeah…
Talk don’t win wars.
Work does.
