Lyrics
Hmm-mm
Yeah-yeah
Oh-oh
Some nights I smile but my chest still aches
Fine girl face, but my soul been late
Everybody sees the light I wear
Nobody knows what I carry there
I was built in fire, not in ease
Had to find my voice on broken knees
If love no hold me, I hold myself
I learned real fast how to heal myself
I no fit drown for this pain again
I came too far just to break again
Still I shine, even when rain fall
Still I rise, even when love gone
Whole world cold but my heart strong
If I bend small, I no break long
Still I shine, make dem see my light
Tears for day, but I glow by night
God knows all the fights inside
But I'm still gold, I'm still alive
Mirror tell me, "girl, stand tall"
Even when nobody dey pick your call
I wore hurt like designer clothes
Now I wear peace and I wear control
No more begging to be chosen first
I know my value, I know my worth
If the road hard, I go still move
Soft on the skin, but my mind bulletproof
I cried in silence, now I glow loud
Pain tried bury me, I stand proud
No be today they go dim my star
I came from dark, now see me far
