[Verse 1]
I deserve to have it all the love, money and fame
A life of adoration for the chances that I take
A moment to feel worthy after all my years of pain
A happy ending to my story with redemption of my name
No I won't back down until I get what I deserve
Respect from everybody and my music to be heard
Everything I fought for now I'm ready to receive
The rap games rightful heir, this is my legacy
I clawed my way to where I'm at from the darkest depths of hell
I fought off all my fears that had made me just a shell
The misery inside from the places that I'd dwell
To the greatest ever made from the stories that I'd tell
I wrote my own future, prophesized from my past
All the work I put in, plus all the spells I cast
The beauty of The Madness is I rose up from my sa**
Compared to most my peers who act cra**, I have cla**
[Spoken]
I had to prove that, you know, I knew what I was doing. Everybody else who looked at me and thought I was crazy, or thought I was delusional, everybody, they were all wrong, because from day one I knew what I was doing, what I was going into this for
[Verse 2]
I worked for everything this took years to achieve
Pushing through the painful times as I'd watch my family grieve
The misery they felt as I begged them to believe
That I am more than what they see and this wasn't just a dream
I knew I had to be the single voice against the crowd
My morals stayed intact even when it got so loud
There were so many times I was kicked down to the ground
I got up and I stood tall so I could make my family proud
Through all my doubt and all my pain one thing remained the same
I am loyal to a fault and that will never change
I came into this game to win my love and the fame
To be worshiped by the world and then to marry what's his name
All the facts that I'd state people thought were just a dream
From a delusional girl living in the make-believe
People worship holy books a real God's too hard to conceive
Well we are here in the flesh now for all the world to see
[Hook]
It's all that I can say so I'll be on my way
It's all that I can say so I'll be on my way
[Verse 3]
No one handed me a thing I had to do this on my own
I carried every stone building me up to my throne
All the darkness that I felt I was a rebel on my own
Til the chaos got resolved by the one with whom I roam
All those times I cried for help only he was there for me
I met the phonies, fakes, thieves making up this industry
Abused by all those jerks they did some crummy things to me
They did some harm but they couldn't break the spirit of me
Now I'm back and I'm strong look how far I've come along
From punching every line to recording on my own
From drowning in my sorrows, my addictions I atoned
To making better choices moving into a new home
All the doubt ever did was give me reasons to succeed
So I could prove to everyone I knew exactly who I'd be
I knew from the jump that he had his plans for me
Now my time is finally here and I can't wait for y'all to see
[Outro]
I guess in hindsight looking back on it, it's something that has, you know, served a purpose because it just pushed me forward
Because it was like, you know, I have to prove that I knew what I was talking about this whole time. I've known who I am, and even at times when I doubted who I was and I let other people's opinions of me, sometimes I did that let those get into my head. I know exactly who I am and you guys are just wrong. Just because you don't want to believe me doesn't make it any less true
