Refined in Fire

Behind the scenes (behind the scenes) Workin' my fingers to the bone, yeah I walked a path, y'all just haven't seen, uh Carved my own way to the throne, yeah Outsiders lookin' in, think they know the score, nah They can keep their two cents, I'm worth so much more, fuck yeah They're sayin' I've morphed, call me deranged, yeah Bright lights, I'm the same, but now I'm on stage, uh I've clawed through the dirt, to the fame's cage, yeah I don't give a damn 'bout their throwin' shade, nah Heavy is the crown, but my head's on straight, yeah Through the screams and the sound, I'm the master of fate, uh Critics whispering, it's just senseless noise, yeah But every scar's a story, not just poise, fuck no With blood and sweat, my dreams I did deploy Fame's a battlefield, not just a toy, goddamn I'm spitting truth, no need for their decoys, oh This stage is mine, their words I'll just destroy, uh Eyes glaring down (glaring down) Whispers 'round town, but I won't hide, fuck no Still chasing dreams, with a primal scream, ah My reflection's true, I'm the same old me, goddamn Grit in my veins, I've earned every scar, yeah My spirit's untamed, like a V8 car, uh Haters talk, let 'em squawk, I've grown thick skin, uh Rumors fly, but my eye's on the win, fuck yeah I've paid the cost, no soul lost, kept my core, yeah Still rockin' hard, play my card, hear the guitars roar, ah [Chorus] They shout, 'You've changed!' but they're blind, goddamn In the spotlight's blaze, I've just refined, yeah
