Lyrics: Mark Gillette Music: Mark Gillette [Verse 1 Used to build empires with my bare hands, now I'm Laying down foundation where the cracks stand You shattered something sacred, yeah, you know that But I'm the architect of my own comeback Stone on stone, patience like religion Every piece I place, that's a new decision You want forgiveness? Better earn your position I'm the judge, the jury, and the whole commission Ain't no rushing this, ain't no skipping steps Every wall I raise got your name in the cement Luxury materials, only premium respect You broke the masterpiece, now you pay the debt Watch me reconstruct what you thought was gone I'm a boss, I rebuild empires on my own You can watch from the outside looking in Won't get entry till I say you can come in
[Chorus - Singing] I'm healing, healing, healing (Brick by brick, I'm rebuilding) I'm feeling, feeling, feeling (Strong again, no concealing) Trust don't come overnight But I'm standing in my light I'm healing, healing, healing (Stone by stone, revealing)
[Verse 2 - Rap] Yeah, I let you see me at my lowest once Now you witness resurrection, this ain't even my final form, what? Phoenix from the ashes, that's a metaphor I'm the truth and the lesson and the seminar Teaching you how queens reclaim their territory This ain't even about you anymore, it's my story Building monuments where there used to be ruins Every morning that I wake up is another woman proving That betrayal don't define us, we design us Turned my pain into diamonds, you can find us At the top where the air clear and the view different You can climb if you prove you're truly different But I'm watching every move like surveillance One wrong step and it's back to the distance I'm protecting my peace like it's priceless 'Cause it is, and I'm done being silent
[Chorus - Singing] I'm healing, healing, healing (Brick by brick, I'm rebuilding) I'm feeling, feeling, feeling (Strong again, no concealing) Trust don't come overnight But I'm standing in my light I'm healing, healing, healing (Stone by stone, revealing)
[Bridge - Melodic Rap-Singing] Time moves slow when you're building temples But I ain't rushing perfection, keep it simple You want back in? Show me something real 'Cause forgiveness ain't free, that's the deal
[Final Chorus - Singing] I'm healing, healing, healing (Brick by brick, I'm rebuilding) I'm feeling, feeling, feeling (Stronger now, I'm revealing) Trust don't come overnight But I'm standing in my light I'm healing, healing, healing (Whole again, believing)
