set my own bones

and through it all

i nursed the cuts and bruises

i set my own bones

i learned something important

you still haven't broken me

and you never will

a house is not a home

and the people who are supposed to be there

seldom ever are

but thats not a reason to give up

and it doesn't mean a thing

so this ones for us who get back up

who take a punch and smile through our blood

the hurt doesn't even stop us anymore

you cannot rattle me

you'll never stop me

i do what i want, when i want

and i don't bother anyone

i came from the womb

into a hell on earth

but i have made it into something beautiful

a positive from a negative

a diamond from a rock

a rose from concrete

and what i have created 

will continue on long after my bones have turned to dust

do what you want to me

theres no stopping it now

i am in the air

i am one with time

and never forget, i know you never will

that i beat you

i beat you all

i proved my worth

i proved that i was right

and i made you all eat your goddamn words

and all you scum bags that call yourselves my family

have been removed from my life

because my presence is a privilege

and i will not be taken for granted

i have the power to move mountains

i can make it rain

i can invoke something out of nothing

what have you ever done

all the jealousy that made you beat me down

all the heartache i've had to endure

has harden my skin

and made a fortress out of this tired body

i am well fortified and ready for war

test me

i dare you

greater men have tried

and greater woman have taken me for everything i am worth

and in the morning

i wake up, i stand up, i stretch, and i move on

unscarred, unbroken

i have seen the bottom

i have painted its walls

i have been abandoned

i have stripped of everything

and each time i rebuilt

each time i overcame the odds

and now i am a man

with unwavering strength

and a heart still pure

and not one of the predators on this earth

will ever be above me

parent is just a word to me

im a product of the world

but i wont let my past

determine my future

and i wont let you lesser beings

keep me from greater things

everything i have

everything i've done

i've done it all on my own

i've never had a home

so i'll build it myself

all on my own

i'll build my own home

i'll set my own bones

and i'll load my own guns

to keep the wolves at bay

to keep the scum out of my way

i will make a real rain

and wash the trash away

this is my world

you are just living in it

i will make you live in fear

im going to murder you with this knife in my back
