Lyrics
[verse]
Step in the room and the whole room shifts
Every eye on me before I lift a wrist
I don't need to shout to make it known
I built this all up from the concrete alone
[verse]
Started with nothing but a pen and a page
Turned every setback into a new stage
They doubted the vision, called it a phase
Now they studying every move I made
[chorus]
Made you look, made you turn your head
Made you remember every word I said
I don't need your praise to know my worth
I been proving it since the day of my birth
[verse]
Every corner of this city knows my name
Every struggle turned into a flame
I carry the weight of where I'm from
Every victory earned, never given, none
[chorus]
Made you look, made you turn your head
Made you remember every word I said
I don't need your praise to know my worth
I been proving it since the day of my birth
[bridge]
This ain't about the shine or the fame
It's about the ones who stayed the same
Through the years, through the pain, through the grind
I'm still standing, still defined
[verse]
So when they ask you who set the pace
Tell them I was there, in every place
Building something real from a broken start
Turning every scar into art
[chorus]
Made you look, made you turn your head
Made you remember every word I said
I don't need your praise to know my worth
I been proving it since the day of my birth
