You claim you’re the better me? But you were born from what I couldn’t see. You weren’t the worst of me, you were the anti-me, The part that rose in place of who I planned to be. I was at my lowest point when you came around, Not because I chose you, But because I was too broken to hold my ground. You took what was left and twisted my soul, Not out of spite, You just filled the space I never learned to control. Violence, money, power, that’s what you chased, But only ’cause you thought strength Was everything I tried to erase. I pushed feelings away ’cause I didn’t know how to cope, And you became the version built From fear instead of hope. You created demons, yeah But they were born from things I ran from too. You carried battles I never learned to walk through. You say I hid you while you tried to build a legacy, But the truth is… I was hiding from me. You acted all tough, loud in my head, But the moment that click hit the back of your neck, You vanished, That’s when I finally came back in. You made the chaos, But I fixed myself. Pulled every broken piece together Without your help. You shaped the darkness, But I shaped what’s real You made the storm But I learned how to heal. You made the fracture, But I fixed myself. You wrote the damage, I rewrote myself. You built the fear But I found my strength And that’s the reason You can’t speak for me again. Yeah, you made me stronger But not the way you wanted, Every move you made just showed The damage you’d been haunted. You made one move and thought You finally had the power, But when I reached for clarity You stepped back and turned sour. Locked me in a cage, Threw the key into the night, Made stupid choices thinking Chaos made you right. You nearly ended everything Just feeding your own fever, If I didn’t break away, We’d be floating down that river. Dragging all your failures Like a weight around our feet But I rose above the current While you drowned in your deceit. You made the chaos, But I fixed myself. Pulled what was broken Back onto the shelf. You shaped the pain But I shaped the truth You tried to break the man I’d be… But I rebuilt proof. You wrote the story Filled with hurt you dealt But page by page, I fixed myself. You said I’d be nothing Without your voice inside my mind, But I carried every burden You kept leaving behind. You were loud when no one watched, Silent when the truth appeared I grew stronger in the open While you hid behind your fear. You’re the chapter I outgrew, You’re the part that tried to win, But I learned to end the battle With the shadow in my skin. Now I'm standing on my own, Breathing power you couldn't tame ’Cause the man I am today Doesn’t answer to your name. You made the chaos, But I fixed myself. You sparked the fire, But I shaped my health. You built the noise, But I built the peace And the grip you had on me? That hold has finally ceased. You made me fall. I made me rise. You wrote the start I wrote the rest. I fixed myself. And now… I’m free.
