Built From Pain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They got money for the wars but the streets still cold Kids growing up hungry while the rich stay gold Everybody got opinions when your name gets known But the same ones talking loud be the ones doing wrong I learned real fast loyalty can’t be bought Some people say they love you then leave when it’s hard And the ones you would bleed for, take your soul apart That’s why I move careful now, gotta guard my heart [Pre-Chorus] I don’t hate you, I just had to grow Love changed when people started moving cold Still wish you well, even from a distance now I just know my worth too much to stay around [Chorus] Stick your chest out, keep your head high Even when the world feels cold at night Pain made me stronger, scars made me wise Had to lose myself to change my life And I still got love even after the betrayal Still stand tall when the pressure try to break you Can’t control people, loyalty comes from the soul Real ones stay solid when everything folds [Verse 2] Don’t sit around tables where they speak on names ’Cause the second that you leave they do the same That fake love got a price and I can’t pay it I’d rather walk alone than move surrounded by snakes And every woman deserves respect and grace A mother brought you here, never forget that place Real strength ain’t screaming or trying to control It’s protecting the people standing close to your soul Sometimes the one you’d die for pull the trigger instead Leave you laying there replaying words in your head But pain either breaks you or turns you to gold And I chose to rise instead of losing control [Bridge] I been through storms that nobody saw Smiled through pain while fighting my wars And even when life tried closing the door I kept my faith and became something more [Final Chorus] Stick your chest out, keep your head high Even when your whole world burns inside Heart full of scars but I still survived Now the darkness can’t kill my light And I still want peace, I don’t move with revenge Some people lose you and never understand Real love rare, that’s why I protect my soul And the strongest hearts still carry the most hope [Outro] So if you feel broken, keep walking through the rain Pressure makes diamonds, pain can build your name And every loss taught me one thing in the end Real strength is staying real in a world that pretends
