Forged To Shine.

HOOK (melodic, spaced like Cudi humming)

(hummed)

Mmm-mm… yeeeah…

I was made in the furnace, can’t fake my purpose, nah

Pressure on my soul but the fire made me flawless

Chosen… chosen…

When you see the glow, know the forge just spoke

VERSE 1

While y’all was molded, I was molten

Life threw stones but I kept on holdin’

Pain hit different when the scars all golden

Learned that the dark is where stars get chosen

Back when I slept on a floor with the lights out

Devil tried to talk in my head with the lies out

I ain’t gotta flex, I ain’t lookin’ for a hideout

God put me in the storm just to bring the fight out

HOOK (layered)

I was made in the furnace, can’t fake my purpose, nah

Pressure on my soul but the fire made me flawless

Chosen… chosen…

When you see the glow, know the forge just spoke

VERSE 2 (cadence switch – Kendrick style)

I been…

Tried, tested, taken apart

Betrayal in the vein, got a hole in my heart

But the code in my soul ain’t sold on the charts

What hell meant for harm just ignited the spark

Religion ain’t choose me, bloodline ain’t prove me

God whispered my name in a world that never knew me

Now the same ones that left me in the smoke

Gon’ see me with a flame that the furnace awoke

---

BRIDGE (Tupac/KRS One spoken build-up)

This ain’t fashion, this ain’t fame—

this is that pain that turned to aim.

Every scar a map.

Every tear a seed.

And the same heat that broke me

made me a torch for the ones in the dark.

OUTRO (Cudi hums)

Ooooooh…

Hell can’t delete what heaven designed.

Untouchable…

I was forged to shine.
