Intro
She was just a little girl
Trying to understand the world,
Looking for a place to feel safe,
Looking for somewhere she could belong.
But home never felt like home...
So she learned to hide.
Verse 1
She grew up with a thousand words
She never learned to say,
Smiling through the memories
She wished would fade away.
She promised herself one day
She'd build a different life,
A home filled with the kind of love
That never made you cry.
Then she found someone,
She thought, *“Maybe this is it.”*
Maybe all the pain before
Was leading her to this.
But love didn't become the ending
She had dreamed about at night,
And once again she found herself
Alone beneath the lights.
Chorus
She wanted a home,
She wanted to belong,
She wanted someone to tell her
She was enough all along.**
But life kept taking pieces
Of the woman she could be,
So she learned to hold her own heart
When nobody could see.**
And she kept walking,
Even when she couldn't breathe...
She became her own home
When nobody stayed for her.
Rap Verse —
Yeah...
Little girl with a broken map,
Trying to find love where she never had that.
Learned real young, don't ask, don't cry,
Hide every wound, keep your head held high.
Then came love, thought it would save her,
Thought a ring could erase the behavior
Of a past that followed her into the room,
But sometimes you marry and still feel alone.
She gave, she tried, she stayed, she fought,
Gave more than anybody ever thought.
Then people looked at what she couldn't achieve,
Never asked what it cost just to breathe.
And motherhood...
Yeah, that's another scar.
Watching little babies from afar.
Smiling politely, then turning away,
Taking her tears somewhere nobody could see that day.
Not because she hated what they had,
But because it reminded her of what she never had.
So she swallowed the pain,
Protected her pride,
Walked back into the world
With the storm locked inside.
Chorus
She wanted a home,
She wanted to belong,
She wanted someone to tell her
She was enough all along.**
**She wanted little footsteps,
A child's voice calling her name,
But some dreams never find you,
And that doesn't make you to blame.
**So she kept walking,
Even when she couldn't breathe...
She became her own home
When nobody stayed for her.**
Rap Verse 2 —
They said, *“You didn't make it.”*
I say, *“You never saw the road.”*
You saw the final picture,
Never saw what I was owed.
You saw the woman standing,
Never saw her on the floor.
You counted all her failures,
Never counted every war.
I studied through the sadness,
Worked through every doubt,
Built something from nothing
When I wanted to check out.
Every door that closed
Only taught me how to knock.
Every voice that said *“you can't”*
Only made me talk louder.
I don't need your approval.
I don't need you to understand.
You didn't carry my childhood,
You didn't hold my hand.
So don't tell me who I am
By what I couldn't become.
Look at everything I built
With the pieces I was given.
Bridge —
**Maybe I'm not the woman
I thought I'd be by now...**
**Maybe some dreams
Will always hurt somehow...**
But I'm still here.
And that's enough
for tonight.
Chorus —
**I am more than my childhood,
More than the love I lost,
More than the child I couldn't hold,
More than every dream that came at a cost.**
**I am more than their judgment,
More than the tears I've cried.
I am the woman who kept going
When there was nowhere left to hide.**
**I became my own shelter.
I became my own home.
And even after everything...
I am no longer alone.**
### Outro —
She was a little girl
who only wanted to feel safe.
She became a woman
who learned to create safety for herself.
And maybe...
that's her real happy ending.
**Not the life she imagined.**
**The life she is still creating.**
**Still here.**
**Still becoming.**
