Rose In The Rubble

You told me that I was not ready
Was that your way to keep me down?
The burden that you laid was heavy
Now you wanna try to come around
You didn't think that I would remember
Remember all the ways you lied
They say the brightest stars burn the fastest
So I'm about to shimmer and shine

Look at me, how could you forget?
This is what you left, buried me in dirt and gravel
What do you see, do you see a victim
Caught up in a system, casted to the darkest shadows
I used to be, shackled, bound, and tied up, now I'm 'bout to rise up
Yeah, you know that you're in trouble
So look at me, no more living in confinement, don't you know your time's up
Ever since I rose from the rubble?

Look at me, look at me
What do you see? Now you're in trouble
Look at me, look at me
What do you see? A rose in the rubble

You musta made a deal with the devil
To try to keep me underground
I'm digging my way to the surface
Just so I can run you down
The voices in my head are screaming
I better not forgive or forget (no way)
That's the good thing about vengeance
You don't have to live with regret

Look at me, how could you forget?
This is what you left, buried me in dirt and gravel
What do you see, do you see a victim
Caught up in a system, casted to the darkest shadows
I used to be, shackled, bound, and tied up, now I'm 'bout to rise up
Yeah, you know that you're in trouble
So look at me, no more living in confinement, don't you know your time's up
Ever since I rose from the rubble?

I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, look at me, look at me
What do you see? Now you're in trouble
Look at me, look at me
What do you see? A rose in the rubble
