WITHOUT A STAIN [Spoken Intro] Yeah… They tried to bury my name. Drug me through some things I never thought I’d survive. But look at me now… [Verse 1] I’ve been talked about, lied on, counted out, Had people I loved put dirt on my name, Walked through the fire with my head held high, They were waiting on me to break from the pain. Every rumor put weight on my shoulders, Every betrayal made my heart colder, But I kept walking when the road got rough, Found out the hard way—I was built tough. [Pre-Chorus] You can throw dirt on a diamond, But that don’t change what it’s worth. I learned when you know who you are, You ain’t gotta answer every word. [Chorus] I was dragged through the mud, But came out without a stain on me, Walked straight through the fire, And the flames couldn’t put no blame on me. They tried to break my spirit, Tried to make the whole world turn on me, I was dragged through the mud, But came out without a stain on me. [Verse 2] Lost a few people I thought were forever, Found out pressure don’t hold everybody together, Some threw stones then hid their hands, But I quit trying to make everybody understand. I let time tell the story I couldn’t explain, Let the truth wash away every lie on my name, Now the same ones waiting to see me fall Got a front-row seat while I stand tall. [Bridge] No revenge—I let success speak, No begging nobody to believe in me, Mud on my shoes, but peace in my soul, What was meant to destroy me just made me whole. [Final Chorus] I was dragged through the mud, But came out without a stain on me, Went through hell and high water, Still couldn’t put no shame on me. Got scars, but I’m still standing, Every scar tells what the pain taught me, I was dragged through the mud… But came out without a stain on me. [Outro] See, mud washes off… Truth lasts forever. They tried to dirty my name— But all they did was make my story better.
