[Intro – Slow Build, Spoken + Beat Creeping In] They thought they were breaking me. Turns out… They were building the man who’d outrun 'em all. [Verse 1 – Reflective with Edge] They mocked the dream, called it blind ambition, Tore me down with passive suspicion. Backhanded praise, cold little smirks— Turned my hunger into overtime work. They hoarded truth, kept the map in flames, Spoke in riddles, played twisted games. But in every jab, I found a clue— The ones who sneer the most are scared of you. [Pre-Chorus – Rising Tension] Yeah, I used to flinch, used to chase their nods, Now I study their hate like a gift from the gods. Each bruise taught me what not to be— That pain? It rewired the soul of me. [Chorus – Anthemic, Empowered] They shaped the stone they tried to throw, Pressure built a spark they didn’t know. Every insult, every laugh, every lie— Fed the storm that would one day rise. So thank you bullies, for the flame you gave, I’m no victim—I’m the tidal wave. [Verse 2 – Intensifying, Raw] You don’t forget being left outside, While they toast their wins, eyes cold with pride. But you learn to build from scraps and smoke— Forge a plan while they crack their jokes. I watched in silence, ate my rage, Till hunger outgrew that gilded cage. They tried to gatekeep what they feared I’d find— But you can't stop a focused mind. [Bridge – Poignant, Emotional Core] They say “toughen up” as they twist the knife, But I turned their lessons into my life. Now I see it clear— They were just scared I'd engineer A way out… and I did. [Chorus – Reprise, Even More Powerful] They shaped the stone they tried to throw, Pressure built a spark they didn’t know. Every insult, every laugh, every lie— Fed the storm that would one day rise. So thank you bullies, for the flame you gave, I’m no victim—I’m the tidal wave. [Outro – Quiet Strength] You built your walls to lock me out, But taught me how to do without. And now I build where they said I couldn’t— Stand where they swore I wouldn’t. I’m not just surviving— I’m proof the fire was worth igniting. Made by the bullies. Forged for more.
