You Don't Know My Story

I've been abused, I...
Been so misused, I
Wrongly accused I
So black and blue, I
Been through rejection for my reflection
So much depression, I was shamed and shunned

So many have come and gone, tried to block me from the throne
But I kept pushing on, climbing on and on
Treated like a criminal, although I'd done nothing wrong
And I felt so alone, still I had to be strong

You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory

I've been poor, I
Burned to the core, I
Couldn't seem to soar, I
Still I fought for more, I
Started healing, then I start to building
Cause I was so willing to conquer the war

So don't you be envious of the person I've become
Cause I've earned all I own, out here on my own
The challenge was serious but the battle has been won
So I'll keep marching on, making all haters be gone!

You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory

You don't know! You don't know!
You don't know all that a brother's been through
You don't know but you think you know
You don't know how I got my battle scars and just due

You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory

You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
You don't know my story, so don't try to read me
For all the hell that I've been through, don't hate on my glory
