You Don't Know My Story
Triumph Beyond Silence
Lyrics
I've been abused, I
I have experienced abuse
Been so misused, I
I have been greatly mistreated
Wrongly accused I
Unjustly accused
So black and blue, I
Physically and emotionally hurt
Been through rejection for my reflection
Faced rejection based on my appearance
So much depression, I was shamed and shunned
Experienced intense depression, shame, and isolation
So many have come and gone, tried to block me from the throne
Encountered many who tried to hinder my success
But I kept pushing on, climbing on and on
Despite challenges, I persevered and kept moving forward
Treated like a criminal, although I'd done nothing wrong
Treated as a criminal despite innocence
And I felt so alone, still I had to be strong
Felt lonely but maintained strength
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
My life story is unknown to you, so don't judge
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
Don't criticize my success given the hardships
I've been poor, I
Experienced poverty
Burned to the core, I
Felt deeply hurt or damaged
Couldn't seem to soar, I
Struggled to rise above challenges
Still, I fought for more, I
Continued to fight for a better life
Started healing, then I start to building
Began the process of healing and rebuilding
Cause I was so willing to conquer the war
Willing to overcome the hardships of life
So don't you be envious of the person I've become
Don't envy the person I've become
Cause I've earned all I own, out here on my own
I've earned everything on my own
The challenge was serious but the battle has been won
Overcame serious challenges and emerged victorious
So, I'll keep marching on, making all haters be gone!
Continuing to progress despite haters
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
Reiteration: You don't know my story, so don't judge
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
Reiteration: Don't criticize my success given the hardships
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
Reiteration: You don't know my story, so don't judge
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
Reiteration: Don't criticize my success given the hardships
You don't know! You don't know!
Emphasizes the lack of understanding
You don't know all that a brother's been through
Others are unaware of the struggles I've faced
You don't know but you think you know
Misjudgments from others who think they know
You don't know how I got my battle scars and just due
Unknown battles and challenges led to scars
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
Reiteration: You don't know my story, so don't judge
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
Reiteration: Don't criticize my success given the hardships
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
Reiteration: You don't know my story, so don't judge
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
Reiteration: Don't criticize my success given the hardships
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
Reiteration: You don't know my story, so don't judge
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
Reiteration: Don't criticize my success given the hardships
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
Reiteration: You don't know my story, so don't judge
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
Reiteration: Don't criticize my success given the hardships
