Used to shrink when the world got loud
Now I walk with my head unbowed
You can doubt me, I don’t mind
Truth don’t need to hide behind
No apologies, I’m standing tall
Took my pain, now I own it all
Let ‘em talk, I know my flame
Every step, I bless my name
Even in silence, I’m still loud
My rhythm speaks, I’m soul and proud
I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised
But I never once refused
Now I rise, I claim my part
With fire breathin' from my heart
No apologies, I’m standing tall
Took my pain, now I own it all
Let ‘em talk, I know my flame
Every step, I bless my name
I shine softer, but I shine strong
A quiet power all along
Now I walk with my head unbowed
You can doubt me, I don’t mind
Truth don’t need to hide behind
No apologies, I’m standing tall
Took my pain, now I own it all
Let ‘em talk, I know my flame
Every step, I bless my name
Even in silence, I’m still loud
My rhythm speaks, I’m soul and proud
I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised
But I never once refused
Now I rise, I claim my part
With fire breathin' from my heart
No apologies, I’m standing tall
Took my pain, now I own it all
Let ‘em talk, I know my flame
Every step, I bless my name
I shine softer, but I shine strong
A quiet power all along
