Bless Your Little Shade

[Verse 1] I heard my name was in your mouth again, Guess I’m the headline you can’t quit reading. You throw your shade like it’s medicine, But I turn poison into meaning. You thought your whispers would bury me, But roots grow deep in the dark. Every lie that you carried for me Just lit another spark. [Pre-Chorus] So keep talking, keep watching, Keep praying that I fall. Funny how my biggest critics Know my story most of all. [Chorus] This is an ode to my haters, Thank you for the fire. You tried to drag me lower, But you built my empire. Every stone you threw Turned gold in my hands. So here’s to the ones who doubted— You made me who I am. [Verse 2] You wanted me small, wanted me quiet, Wanted me chained to your opinion. But I broke out loud, started a riot, Now I’m dancing in my own dominion. You call it ego, I call it survival, You call me changed, I call me free. You studied my wounds like a Bible, But still don’t know the first thing about me. [Pre-Chorus] So keep reaching, keep judging, Keep throwing dirt on my name. I bloom better under pressure, I was born inside the flame. [Chorus] This is an ode to my haters, Thank you for the fire. You tried to drag me lower, But you built my empire. Every stone you threw Turned gold in my hands. So here’s to the ones who doubted— You made me who I am. [Bridge] I don’t need revenge, I need a stage light. I don’t need your love, I sleep just fine. You can keep your throne made of side-eyes, I’m busy making heaven out of hard times. [Final Chorus] This is an ode to my haters, Bless your little hearts. You tried to tear me open, But I became the art. Every word you wasted Fed the bigger plan. So here’s to the ones who doubted— You made me who I am. [Outro] Dear haters, take a bow, You gave me something to rise above. I don’t hate you back— I just became too powerful to care enough.
