[Intro]
I remember the nights…
The walls closing in, the screams in the dark
Fists raining down, my body shaking
Every word, every hit — carving doubts into my mind
I prayed, I cried, I whispered to myself
“Will it ever stop? Will someone see me?”
The silence was loud, the fear was real
But I swore… I swore one day… I’d rise
Not just survive… but conquer…
I’d take all the pain, all the scars…
And I’d beat the world.

[Verse 1]
I grew up in shadows, every corner held a fight
Every word from him hit harder than the night
I was small, I was scared, couldn’t run, couldn’t hide
Every bruise on my body matched the fear I kept inside

I prayed for peace, I prayed for love, I prayed for just a hand
But the one meant to protect me only made me understand
That life was cold, life was cruel, life was unforgiving
And if I wanted to survive — I had to start living

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t weak, I ain’t broken — I just carry the scars
I took the pain he gave me, I turned it into bars
Now I move through the chaos, now I stand unfurled
My hands once cowered — now I beat the world

[Chorus]
My dad used to beat me, now I beat the world
Turned my pain into power, my anger into pearls
I was a victim of shadows, now I’m chasing the flames
Every scar on my body screams I won’t be tamed

I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised, I’ve been knocked down
But I built my empire from the ashes of that town
My dad used to beat me, now I beat the world
I’m the storm, I’m the king, I’m the banner unfurled

[Verse 2]
I see the ones who doubted, the ones who tried to cage me
The fists, the insults, the threats — none could ever stage me
I took the lessons from the pain, turned them into my drive
Every slap, every scream — made my ambition survive

I ain’t just fighting shadows anymore, I’m fighting fate
I’m climbing higher, taking names, nobody can dictate
I learned strength from suffering, I learned fire from despair
Now I crush every obstacle, now the world knows I’m there

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t weak, I ain’t broken — I just carry the scars
I took the pain he gave me, I turned it into bars
Now I move through the chaos, now I stand unfurled
My hands once cowered — now I beat the world

[Chorus]
My dad used to beat me, now I beat the world
Turned my pain into power, my anger into pearls
I was a victim of shadows, now I’m chasing the flames
Every scar on my body screams I won’t be tamed

I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised, I’ve been knocked down
But I built my empire from the ashes of that town
My dad used to beat me, now I beat the world
I’m the storm, I’m the king, I’m the banner unfurled

[Bridge]
I still feel the echoes, the nights that I feared
But I wear the memories like armor — now my path is cleared
I don’t hate him, I just rise — I won’t replicate the pain
I took his darkness and built light — I’m finally unchained

[Chorus]
My dad used to beat me, now I beat the world
Turned my pain into power, my anger into pearls
I was a victim of shadows, now I’m chasing the flames
Every scar on my body screams I won’t be tamed

I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised, I’ve been knocked down
But I built my empire from the ashes of that town
My dad used to beat me, now I beat the world
I’m the storm, I’m the king, I’m the banner unfurled

[Outro]
I remember every scream, every night I cried alone
The fear, the doubt, the weight of a world I didn’t own
But I took it all — the pain, the anger, the shame
And I forged it into fire — now they know my name

I walk tall, I stand strong, I rise from the dirt
Every scar a story, every bruise a lesson earned
I beat the world, I beat the odds, I beat the night
From the ashes of abuse, I ignite my light

No more shadows, no more fear, no more chains
I take my life, I take my power — nothing remains
These nights tried to break me, but I refused to curl
My dad used to beat me…
Now I beat the world.

I Beat The World

Talk Tender

This piece — “Gratitude Frequencies (Track III)” — sits right at the intersection of spoken-word poetry, soul awakening, and cinematic soundscape. It feels like the midpoint of a conceptual or healing journey — a rebirth track — that bridges breakdown and breakthrough.

The intro sets the tone: not sentimental gratitude, but vibrational gratitude — the kind you tune into, not perform. It’s philosophical and spiritual, spoken like a sermon whispered to yourself after surviving chaos. The message: gratitude is frequency, not form.

Musically, you can imagine it opening with soft ambient synths, maybe oceanic reverb, a low heartbeat-like pulse, and an ethereal vocal hum beneath the narration. It’s meditative yet empowering. Then the verses move like modern soul poetry — grounded, vulnerable, deeply human — almost like a fusion between Hozier’s introspection and Florence + The Machine’s transcendence.

The chorus is the emotional apex. “Rock bottom is home” turns despair into a spiritual foundation. It’s a mantra of resilience — not “I survived,” but “I was remade.”

By the bridge, thunder imagery mirrors awakening — rebirth as an electrical storm, chaotic but divine. The outro closes like a quiet coronation — the character walks through the ruins of the old self, stripped of ego, shining with peace instead of jewels.

In essence:
It’s a transformational anthem disguised as a lullaby for the soul — gentle, raw, and fierce in its acceptance. A sonic prayer for those who’ve hit bottom and learned that’s where truth begins.
