Verse 1
We all got a story, we all got scars,
Some from the shadows, some from the stars.
Some keep relivin' the same old pain,
Walkin' in circles, stuck in the rain.
The past can teach you, the past can lie,
It'll tell you who you were 'til the day you die.
But I learned somethin' standin' in the fire,
You gotta become more than what you once admired.
Pre-Chorus
I stopped pointin' fingers, stopped askin' why,
Started lookin' inward, started changin' my life.
The mirror told truths I couldn't ignore,
And that's when I found what I was fightin' for.
Chorus
The past can't change if we stay the same,
We'll keep passin' down the hurt and the blame.
But I chose a road that nobody knew,
And if I can make the change, so can you.
I'm breakin' the chains that were handed to me,
Refusin' to carry what my eyes now see.
The future is callin', and I'm walkin' through,
The past ain't my prison anymore—it's proof.
Verse 2
Some people only see where you came from,
Never notice the battles you've already won.
They remember your failures, your worst mistakes,
But not the long nights it took to create.
They can't understand why you're dreamin' so big,
Why you're buildin' a life that don't fit where you lived.
But I didn't come this far to turn around,
I came to build somethin' that'll still be around.
Pre-Chorus
Every lesson, every wound, every tear I cried,
Became the fuel that kept this fire alive.
I won't apologize for growin' beyond
The limits they placed on me for so long.
Chorus
The past can't change if we stay the same,
We'll keep passin' down the hurt and the blame.
But I chose a road that nobody knew,
And if I can make the change, so can you.
I'm breakin' the chains that were handed to me,
Refusin' to carry what my eyes now see.
The future is callin', and I'm walkin' through,
The past ain't my prison anymore—it's proof.
Bridge
If you can't see that what I'm buildin' today
Is greater than the place where I came,
If you only know me by the man I was,
And not by the man I've become,
Then maybe you don't belong where I'm headed,
Maybe your season in my life has ended.
No hard feelings, no hate, no fight,
I'm just followin' the path that's right.
Final Chorus
The past made me, but it don't own me now,
I found a better way and I figured out how.
The curses stop here, they won't pass through me,
My children will inherit possibility.
I'm bringin' change to my bloodline's name,
So the next generation won't fight the same.
The past was a lesson, not a place to stay,
I honor where I came from... but I'm building a better way.
Outro
We all have a past...
Some good, some bad...
But the future belongs
To the ones brave enough to change.
