If you ever see me smiling

Know that I got pain behind it

And if you think that I am perfect

Well I'm the furthest thing from it

I've been through it all

I've been through it all

Like a rose that grows through a concrete floor

I'm chosen

God chose me

God chose me

I've been through it all

I've been through it all

Like a rose that grows through a concrete floor

I'm chosen

God chose me

God chose me

Post up perfect pictures to the world

Filtered, plastic, man you know the works

I wish for the days when all we cared about was love

And if it never came than we continued to search

Nowadays every other thing is hella fake

People so naive

Cancel culture dominates

Hide behind screens

All we care about is hate

Conforming is a trend

And I seem to be late

I wish for the days when time stood still

When only talent mattered and numbers weren't shit

Thick skinned now

I'm prepared for anything

Fighting for my dream

I won't stop until I win

I've been through it all

I've been through it all

Like a rose that grows through a concrete floor

I'm chosen

God chose me

God chose me

I've been through it all

I've been through it all

Like a rose that grows through a concrete floor

I'm chosen

God chose me

God chose me

This industry breaks my spirit

Every time I try I can feel it

Validation is as good as evil

Like a drug I use, I use repeated

This industry breaks my spirit

Every time I try I can feel it

Validation is as good as evil

Like a drug I use, use repeated

I've been through it all

I've been through it all

Like a rose that grows through a concrete floor

I'm chosen

God chose me

God chose me

I've been through it all

I've been through it all

Like a rose that grows through a concrete floor

I'm chosen

God chose me

God chose me
