🔥 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.
