They tried to break me when I had nothing Now they fear me cause I know who I am

Power ain't noise, power's present I got power in my pain, power in my name

Power when I'm falling, I still rise again They tried to change my soul, tried to take control

But power lives inside me, yeah, I always knew

I've been low, I've been broke, I've been doubted Silence taught me lessons I ain't never shouted

They counted me out, I counted my scars Turned wounds into wisdom, pressure into scars

Power ain't flexin, ain't loud talkers Walkin' through hell and still God walkin

Sayin' no when the world's savin' It's losin' friends just to stay yourself in the end

They see the globe but not the flame They see the crown but not the reign

I earned every breath, I take this power ain't for sale

I got power in my pain, power in my name Power when I'm falling, I still rise again

They tried to change my soul, tried to take control But power lives inside me, yeah, I always knew

Power is discipline when nobody's watchin' Power is patience when revenge is an option

Power is love when hate feel easier Power is faith when the night get heavier

I ain't perfect, I'm chosen, there's a difference I've been tested, still standing, that's persistence

Every scar tell a story, every tear pay dues They see confidence now but forgot the abuse

They can't steal what I became They can't dim what God ordained

I don't need permission to shine, I survive

I got power in my pain, power in my name Power when I'm falling, I still rise again

They tried to change my soul, tried to take control But power lives inside me, yeah, I always knew

I always knew

Power ain't money, power ain't fear

Power is knowing who you are

And standing right here
