Both of them

Verse 1 I was raised where if they hit you first You hit ’em back, make it worse Don’t back down, don’t show hurt That’s just how it worked Keep your guard up, never fold Don’t let ’em see you lose control Anger loud, heart cold That’s what I was told But I’m seeing now It take a lot to be a man Not your fists, not how you stand It’s knowing when to use your hands To build instead of break Pre-Chorus Bad days led to breakthroughs Had to sit with what I went through I was running from the mirror Now I’m clearer Chorus Lost friends helped me see How I sacrificed my peace Old scars remind me How to pick up myself when I bleed No anger in my soul I let the bitterness go What I thought would break me Made me whole It all worked itself out Yeah, it all worked itself out Verse 2 I was moving with a chip On my shoulder heavy Every slight felt like a war Every look felt petty I was going nowhere fast Had to slow down, change direction Swallow pride, ask questions Start searching for my faith again I learned strength ain’t loud It don’t scream in a crowd It’s forgiving when it’s hard And still standing tall Pre-Chorus Some bridges had to burn Some lessons had to hurt Some people had to leave For me to see my worth Chorus Lost friends helped me see Where I was losing me Old pain showed me What I don’t wanna be No anger in my soul It don’t live here no more I made peace with the past Closed that door It all worked itself out Yeah, it all worked itself out Bridge (emotional build) I don’t hate who I was He was trying his best Just a boy in survival With a weight on his chest But I thank God for growth For the nights I broke down For the strength that was born When I finally slowed down Breakdown (minimal beat, vocal heavy) Raised to fight Now I choose light Raised to react Now I choose right Both of them made me The boy and the man But I finally understand Final Chorus (big, hopeful) Lost friends helped me see How to love myself honestly Old scars don’t control me They just tell my story No anger in my soul It all worked itself out Every tear, every doubt It all worked itself out now Outro (soft adlibs) Yeah… worked itself out… Peace over pride now… I’m good now…
