Every time they said no, I grew wings inside. You can't hold a man who was born to rise. You can't
stop my shine, I'm made of light and pain, been through hell so long I learned to dance in flames. I'm
too smart, too strong, too country to quit. Got that outlaw soul, with a poet's wit. They can talk that
talk, but I walk that line. I done paid my dues. You can't stop my shine. They tried to write me off, so
I rewrote the book. Had a vision they couldn't see. Now they shook. A whole lot of fakes want to eat
off my plate, but I cook my own pain, boy, this meals homemade. Had my mind in the mud, my heart
on a rope, but I turned all them tears into lines of hope. I'm the proof that a genius can rise from
the gutter with a mic and a dream and a pain like no other. Yeah, I've been judged, been broken, been
doubted. They said I fell, but look where I'm mounted. Every scars just proof I survived the storm. Now
I glow in the dark like I was reborn. They whisper my name, trying to throw shade my way, but I turn
them words into gold every day. They can't match my brain or my grind. You can't stop a man with
divine design. Outlaw spirit, God's child with drive. I'm the flame they can't snuff. The reason I thrive.
Backwood raised, hard head, soft heart. I'm the sum of my pain, and that's my art. Yeah, I've seen
envy, seen fake loves face, but I keep my circle small, real ones in my space. So tell them all I said.
Keep trying. You can hate all you want, but you won't stop my shine.
