[Verse 1]
Born in the gutter
Yeah
They counted me out
(oo-yeah!)
Whispers in the dark
They loved to shout
"Won’t make it to the sunrise
Won’t see the light
"
But here I stand
Baby
Ready to fight

[Prechorus]
Fists in the air
Oh
I won’t bow
You want me gone? Well
Look at me now!

[Chorus]
I survive
I thrive
Through the fire I’ve been
Every dagger
Every shadow
Couldn’t break my skin
They want me gone
But I’m here instead
Dancing in the ashes of the life they said was dead

[Verse 2]
Streets were cold
Hearts colder still
Every corner a trap
Every glance could kill
Mama said
“Baby
Keep your head real high
”
But the wolves kept circling
Eyes on my sky

[Prechorus]
Chains on my soul? I broke every link
Tried to drown me
But I learned to sink

[Chorus]
I survive
I thrive
Through the fire I’ve been
Every dagger
Every shadow
Couldn’t break my skin
They want me gone
But I’m here instead
Dancing in the ashes of the life they said was dead
