Soul Serenade

[Verse] Came from the dirt, petals on concrete Past full of shadows, now she stand on her feet Struttin' through the storm, umbrella in her mind Dreams wrapped in gold, heart made of diamond grind [Bridge] Used to be lace, tangled in lies Now she a phoenix, see her rise Chains unbound, girl on fire Life in technicolor, higher and higher [Verse 2] Eyes cast forward, path ain't straight though Dodgin' them bullets, duckin' them halos Hands in cuffs, but she carved keys Turned every cut into a masterpiece [Chorus] She a queen, soul got that trapline swing Life rollin' heavy, diamonds in her ring Voices in the night, whisper sweet serenades Battles she fought, memories never fade [Verse 3] Painted her story, brush dipped in scars Echoes of the past, brought her far Melanin glow under moonlight hue Each chapter tough, but she wrote through [Bridge] Steady heartbeat, drums in the distance New kind of hustle, relentless persistence Fists in the air, fought her own war No one else like her, that's for sure
