Turned Struggle to Silk

Hmm

I learned the hard way, now move slow

Diamonds on my piece, I don't break when the lights turn on

Came from the pressure, made it look like grace

Every scar on my heart turned into a higher place

I was built in the fire, but I glow like gold

Kept my head in the stone and my soul stable

Now the doors open wide when I walk on through

What they thought wouldn't end me only made me true

I rose from the still

Now I wear it like silk

Strong in my spirit

Sweet like milk and honeybilt

Luxury in my posture, love in my night

I turn my pain into power, I'm not the same

I rose from the struggle, now I shine in the night

Soft like a prayer, but I'm heavy with light

If you knew where I came, so you know where I've been

I'm a woman reborn, and I'm dust in my skin

Mama told me, baby, keep your chin up high

You can cry in the dark, still go meet the sky

So I kept on moving with a crown unseen

Made a crown out the doubt, made the green out the mean

Said the roots in my blood, but my future is new

I got mouths in my voice and a whole lot to do

Every step says worthy, every dance says no

I don't chase what I need, I attract what I'm for

I rose from the struggle

Now I wear it like silk

Strong in my spirit

Sweet like milk and honeydew

Luxury in my posture

Love in my name

I turn my pain into power

I'm not the same

I rose from the struggle

Now I shine in the night

Soft like a prayer

But I'm heavy with life

If you know where I came from, you know where I went

I'm a woman reborn, and I'm best in my skin

Every tear became a truth

Every bruise made me beautiful

I'm not just survivin' now

I'm the proof of where I'm at

I was so strong

Now I wear it like silk

Strong in my spirit

Strong in my spirit

Sweet like milk and honeybill

Flushery in my pasture, loving my name

I turned my pain into power, I'm not the same

I rose in the struggle, now I shine in the night

Slowed like a prayer, but I'm heavy with light

From the bottom to the moon, I came up to win

I'm a woman reborn and I'm best in her skin
