Gold at My Feet (version 2)

Intro

Cinder in the glass, skin still humming

Verse 1

Bassline low like a river's call

Smoke curls slow, my name written small

Mirror shows me someone I love

Every scar says I made it through

Floor's on fire but I'm standing still

Hearts beat fast, I keep mine full

I was broke once, built this all from dust

Nobody gave it to me, never lost the trust

Pre-Chorus

So you can take your pity, put it back in the night

This light is mine now, don't need your shine tonight

Watch how far a woman can go when no one's there

I built this on my own, nobody's getting paid for this fire

Chorus

I was broke once, now I'm gold at my feet

Every step up paid in sweat and the beat

Nobody gave it to me, never lost the trust

This confidence ain't loud, baby, it's just the proof

Verse 2

Rivals whisper 'she don't last' behind my back

I just smile slow, let the smoke take that

Stage lights up like a second skin

Every crowd here knows my name now, starts again

My mother worked three jobs just to keep the light on

I took one spark and turned it into a storm

No handouts, no apologies, just hard work and grit

This crown's mine because I never learned to quit

Pre-Chorus

So you can take your pity, put it back in the night

This light is mine now, don't need your shine tonight

Watch how far a woman can go when no one's there

I built this on my own, nobody's getting paid for this fire

Chorus

I was broke once, now I'm gold at my feet

Every step up paid in sweat and the beat

Nobody gave it to me, never lost the trust

This confidence ain't loud, baby, it's just the proof

Bridge

Not built on what you said

Built on every no I ignored instead

Every doubt that turned to flame

I'm not begging for a second chance, I'm owning this name

Chorus

I was broke once, now I'm gold at my feet

Every step up paid in sweat and the beat

Nobody gave it to me, never lost the trust

This confidence ain't loud, baby, it's just the proof

Outro

Gold at my feet

Still standing

Still standing
