[Intro] Blueprint on my bedroom floor Coffee stains and open doors Red pen circlin’ every line Wrote my power by design [Verse 1] I was taught to shrink my name Sit there quiet Play their game Now my vision’s loud and clear Frame by frame I drew it here [Pre-Chorus] Step by step I trace the lines Turn my “maybe” into “mine” Every angle Every side Built this backbone out of pride [Chorus] I’m empowered by design Every curve Every line Didn’t stumble into shine I aligned it I re-affined it I’m the author of my rise Carved the truth from all their lies Nothing random in this climb I’m empowered I’m empowered~ I’m empowered by design [Verse 2] Said my dream was “too intense” Like my fire needed fence Now they’re knockin’ on my gate I decide who gets a place [Pre-Chorus] Gave my doubt an exit sign Signed my name across the sky Every choice A dotted line Leading straight to what is mine [Bridge] Every scar a sacred sketch Every tear a tracing edge I’m the storm and I’m the spine All this beauty by design
