She Built Herself

Title: “She Built Herself” [Intro] Yeah… This one for every woman who had to find her own way. They counted her out… She counted herself in. [Chorus] I built myself, I don’t need nobody’s help, Came from the bottom, put the world on my shelf. Head held high, yeah, I’m proud of myself, Queen with a crown, I don’t compete with nobody else. I know my worth, I know what I deserve, Had to go through pain just to find my nerve. Now I’m standing tall, watch me take my turn, They tried to break me down— But a queen don’t burn. [Verse 1] I been through the pressure, I been through the rain, Smiled through the tears while I carried the pain. Had people switch up, had people betray, But I learned real quick I could still find my way. Independent woman, got my own dreams, Building my future, chasing bigger things. I don’t need validation, I know who I am, Put my faith in God and I follow His plan. They see the glow but they don’t know the story, They see the crown but they don’t know the journey. Every scar on me turned into strength, Every closed door made me go to great lengths. [Chorus] I built myself, I don’t need nobody’s help, Came from the bottom, put the world on my shelf. Head held high, yeah, I’m proud of myself, Queen with a crown, I don’t compete with nobody else. I know my worth, I know what I deserve, Had to go through pain just to find my nerve. Now I’m standing tall, watch me take my turn, They tried to break me down— But a queen don’t burn. [Verse 2] Ladies, don’t settle just to say you got somebody, Love yourself first, you don’t owe nobody. Get your money, chase your dreams, build your name, Don’t let anybody make you feel ashamed. You can be a mother, boss, lover, and queen, Turn your vision into something they can see. If they don’t support you, let ’em walk away, Your future too important to be stuck in yesterday. I went from “you can’t” to “watch me do it,” Had a dream in my heart and I followed right through it. Now every step that I take got meaning, I’m becoming the woman I always believed in. [Bridge] She cried… but she kept going. She fell… but she kept growing. She lost… but she kept knowing One day the whole world would see her glowing. [Final Chorus] I built myself, I don’t need nobody’s help, Found my power when I finally found myself. Head held high, yeah, I’m proud of myself, Queen with a crown, I don’t compete with nobody else. I know my worth, I know what I deserve, I’m stronger now because of everything that hurt. This is my life, and I’m taking my turn, They tried to break me down— But a queen don’t burn. [Outro] To every woman who’s starting over… To every mother, every daughter, every dreamer… Don’t give up. Your story isn’t over. You are the power.
