To My Haters

(Intro: Heavy, distorted bass line kicks in with a slow, steady drum b**t. The tone is gritty but empowered.) (Verse 1) I see you lurking in the shadows of a digital screen Spitting venom, fueling fire, keeping it mean You’re caught red-handed with your mouth full of lies While you’re pocketing the money under darkened skies You claim it’s for a cause, but we see the greed Ignoring every soul that’s actually in need Just a hollow shell chasing a selfish prize I’m standing in the light while you’re feeding us lies. (Pre-Chorus) You tell ‘em "end it all," yeah, you say the worst But the words you scream are your own living curse You target the kids, make a joke of their name But there’s no one but you who should carry the shame. (Chorus) So hate me for my face, hate me for my walk Hate the way I parent, hate the way I talk Go ahead and judge the body I’m in But your hate is a mountain you’re never gonna win You’re looking from the bottom of a bottomless pit While I’m rising up and I’m loving every bit Yeah, look at you now, trapped in the cage Of your own jealousy, your lies, and your rage. (Verse 2) You’re mad because I saw right through the mask Exposing the truth was a simple enough task You can’t run from the ghost of the bridges you burned Or the bitter lessons that you never quite learned You mock my disability like it’s a flaw But I’ve got a strength that you never even saw While you’re digging a hole with your foul-mouthed tongue I’m singing the song that needs to be sung. (Bridge) My honesty is a beacon, my love is a flame I don't need to hide, and I don't play your game For the ones who depend on me, the ones I respect I’m the shield and the heart that I’m here to protect My compassion is the light that’ll d***n out your noise You’re losing your grip while I’m finding my voice. (Chorus) So hate me for my face, hate me for my walk Hate the way I parent, hate the way I talk Go ahead and judge the body I’m in But your hate is a mountain you’re never gonna win You’re looking from the bottom of a bottomless pit While I’m rising up and I’m loving every bit Yeah, look at you now, trapped in the cage Of your own jealousy, your lies, and your rage. (Outro) Keep talkin... it won't reach me... Keep hating... it won't break me... I’m the truth you can’t handle. I’m the light you can’t dim. And you’re still down there... In the pit. (Fade out with a final, sharp drum b**t
