🔥 HOOK (Remix – Gospel Choir + Harmony Layers) (Call & Response style — choir echoes bolded) Shoutout to the ones who switched them lanes on me (Switched up on me) Left me in the dark, but God kept His name on me (He stayed on me) Told the mirror: “You the one, not the maybe” (I’m the one) Now I shine like grace in the '80s baby! (Let it shine!) Wasn’t no hugs when I cried on the pavement Now I walk bold — favor ain’t for the famous They came back quick once the bag got tough But I was diamond in the rough before the shine showed up --- ✍🏽 VERSE 1 (Remix) I remember nights I ain’t eat, just prayed Rain hit hard, but I danced anyway Clothes hand-me-downs, but my soul was rich Mama lit candles, we ain’t never had a switch Turned pain into gold like Chi alchemy Turned loss into wins, now they mad at me They ghosted when I had just crumbs on my plate Now they tap in daily like we always been straight I don’t do revenge—I just level in peace South Side sermon, let the prodigals feast I forgave folks who ain’t clap when I rose That’s how you win when your worth ain’t sold --- 🎤 CHORUS (Remix) Pain don’t win when the South Side rise We heal in steps, we walk by fire If love fake, I don’t need that role I was crowned by the truth, not gold Built this life off the prayers of the low Ain’t no gimmick, this divine glow Yeah they switched, but I never lost sight I’m the light they fear in the middle of night --- 🔁 VERSE 2 (Remix – Flow Switch Up) They ain't hold me down, so I held that cross Took every "L" and flipped it like a boss I don't flex revenge—I flex what's real Peace in my heart and some scars that heal I walk with lions, I don’t bark at sheep Gave my all to folks who sowed deceit Now I sow truth, I speak from scars God wrote my bars in the book of stars Glory in my bones, I ain’t asking to fit I was chosen in the storm, now I glow in the grit If I ever fall off, it’s still God in me So I rise again—undeniably free --- 🌅 BRIDGE (Melodic Soul / Choir Hums Behind) They ain't see me build, just want the shine Never stayed down, but now want time But I walk with grace they can’t define South Side raised, but I’m God-designed --- 🗣️ OUTRO (Spoken Word Over Soft Organ & Harmony) If you switched… thank you. You showed me I was never meant to ride with many. I was meant to rise with purpose. Every "no" was divine navigation. Now my voice is echoing through alleys and altars— For the ones still in the dark, Just know: your glow coming.
