Had to learn the road with no hand to hold
Now every scar on me sound like home
I was packing up my pain before the rent was due
Had a couple people near me who were never true
They wanted front row seats when the money grew
But they missed them late nights I was pushing through
No favors on my phone,
no rescue at the door
I made a plan from pieces scattered on the floor
They smiled when I was falling
Now they ask me where I been
I kept my head down working
Turned the doubt into my win
I did it on my own No hands out when the nights
got cold
I did it on my own
Built my name from a broken road They can talk,
I stay in my zone
Heart still heavy but my aim stayed strong
I did it on my own
On my own, on my own
I stopped explaining moves to people standing still
Learned the quiet kind of grind can bend a steel will
Every promise that they broke became a new skill Every no became
a brick up on the next hill
I forgive but I remember what the lesson cost
Kept my focus in the rain and never called it lost
If nobody clap, I still know what I made If the room
goes quiet, I still keep my faith
I do not need a crowd to tell me I belong I
carried all this weight and turned it into song
I did it on my own
No hands out when the nights got cold I did it on
my own
Built my name from a broken road
They can talk, I stay in my zone Heart still heavy but
my aim stayed strong
I did it on my own
On my own, on my own
I did it on my own
Still standing when the road got cold
