Verse 1]
I came out the gates, chains off my feet,
But the world still treats me like I ain’t free.
Judged on sight, they don’t ask, they assume,
But they couldn’t last one night in my shoes.
Eight years down, I done paid that price,
Now I’m out here tryna rebuild life.
Labels stick, yeah, they whisper and stare,
But none of them was there, they don’t know despair.

[Chorus]
If they knew my story, they would wonder how I served,
How I stood in that fire, never got burned.
Walk a mile where I been, you wouldn’t make it through the night,
Every day’s a struggle, but I rise, yeah, I fight.

[Verse 2]
Second chance mindset, faith on strong,
My Lord held me up when it all went wrong.
Woke up today, so I know I got a purpose,
Devil tried to break me, but he only scratched the surface.
Too many haters, too many places I don’t fit,
Too many fakes, all that love counterfeit.
Smiling in my face, but they plotting behind,
I see the envy in their eyes, I ain’t blind.

[Chorus]
If they knew my story, they would wonder how I served,
How I stood in that fire, never got burned.
Walk a mile where I been, you wouldn’t make it through the night,
Every day’s a struggle, but I rise, yeah, I fight.

[Verse 3]
I ain’t running, I ain’t folding, I ain’t scared of the past,
I took every lesson, turned the pain into cash.
I got dreams now, ain’t no chains on my mind,
Used to be lost, now I’m destined to shine.
Doors closed on me, but I kicked ‘em back open,
Faith in my heart, yeah, my spirit unbroken.
I ain’t asking for a hand, just a fair chance,
To show the world I’m more than my circumstance.

[Bridge]
I ain’t perfect, but I stand on my truth,
Battle scars deep, yeah, they tell you the proof.
Grace got me here, ain’t no luck in my path,
I was lost in the dark, now I walk in His grasp.

[Outro]
So judge if you want, but just know this,
I ain’t who I was, I’m who He uplift.
Every breath that I take is a gift, not a right,
I rise every morning ’cause He gave me the light.
