Lyric

Yeah…

Every scar I got’s a favor

From the war I fought with failure

No shortcuts, no savior —

Just me, my pain, my prayer

Wake up, same hunger in my chest

Dreams heavy, but I treat ‘em like a test

Every no I heard, turned ink in my pen

Write my wounds ‘til they shine again

Late nights, no light, still I keep that flame

Turnin’ silence to a sound with my name

They laugh when I fall, but I rise like dawn

Every loss I take, yeah, I feed it to the song

Suffer now, shine later

Pain’s the real translator

What you bleed now becomes your favor

Keep the faith — time’s the maker

Suffer now, shine later

Turn the tears into paper

Every dark hour births a savior

I’m my own creator

Got demons in my mirror, I don’t hide no more

Talk cheap, so I let my scars do the score

Every failure’s fuel, I pour it in the core

Now I’m fireproof — pain ain’t pain no more

Money can’t buy the nights I bled

Dreams too loud to keep in my head

They said I’d break — I broke the cage instead

Now my shadow walkin’ where angels tread

Blood on the beat, I baptize my fate

Lost in the dark but I illuminate

Ain’t no crown without the weight

Ain’t no diamond without the hate

Suffer now, shine later

Pain’s the real translator

Every wound’s a silent prayer

Every fall just takes me there

Suffer now, shine later

Time gon’ be the narrator

Write my pain in golden layers —

I was built from failures
