[Intro] yeah, I bled for this, not blessed for this scars where the lessons live, I confess to this pain’s my mirror, it don’t lie back every crack in my soul turned to gold tracks [Verse 1] I came from nights with no sound but my doubts tryna build peace in a house full of shouts dreams on the floor, picked ’em up, dusted off now I move like I’m carved outta fire and loss ain’t no coach, no handouts, no praise just me, in the mirror, learning my ways every cut healed crooked, that’s why I’m rare every flaw that I own, that’s my warfare I don’t need their nods, I don’t need their cheers just my hunger, my pain, and my earned years [Pre-Chorus] every time I fell, I found my climb pain hit first, then came the grind they see the peak, I see the climb I was built from the hurt, not the shine [Chorus] built from flaws, not applause, I rise blood on my knuckles, truth in my eyes they clap when you win, not when you crawl I made my name from surviving it all built from flaws, not applause, I climb pain’s my rhythm, scars my rhyme I’m the sound of a man reborn in his fall ain’t perfect — but I’m proud of it all [Verse 2] I was broke in half, now I’m built in steel had to learn how to breathe when I couldn’t heal pressure made diamonds, pain made poise I turned every silence into noise yeah, the world ain’t kind to the ones who bleed but the ones who stay real plant their seed watch it grow through the dirt, through the rain I ain’t scared of loss — I made friends with pain ain’t no stage lights where I came from just a fight for peace till the war got won [Build-Up] yeah, we rise slow from the ashes of fear voices in my head, I had to steer every “no” I heard became my fuel every failure taught me to rule don’t need fame, I need meaning I’m not polished — I’m still bleeding but that’s what makes me more than strong flawed to the bone, still moving on [Breakdown] (beat fades to low bass hum) I don’t wear masks, I wear my scars each one a line in my memoir I came from nothin’, that’s the truth but nothin’ built a stronger youth so when the noise fades and the lights dim down I’m still me — the king without a crown [Final Chorus] built from flaws, not applause, I stand truth in my voice, blood on my hands they only see the shine, not the fall but my pain’s what powered it all built from flaws, not applause, I breathe real ones feel the fire in me no crowns, no trophies, no curtain calls I’m the proof that you rise when you’ve lost it all [Motivational Outro – Spoken Word] listen, they’ll never see the nights you cried, they’ll only see the days you rise. you’ll question your worth, then earn it twice. you’ll bleed, you’ll break — but that’s the price. you ain’t weak for feeling the weight, you’re strong ’cause you carried it straight. every scar’s a map, every pain’s a key, every fall taught you who to be. they can keep their cheers and shallow fame — you were built from flaws, remember the name.
