They Wanted a Monster? Let Them Have What They Asked For

you crawled up this mountain didn't you on your hands and knees like a beggar like someone who ain't ever had a taste of real hunger you came for answers you came for change well you ain't going to like what I'm about to tell you but you better listen close they wanted a monster huh those people the ones who looked at you like you wasn't enough like you was too small too weak to matter they saw what you tried to be so the fire in your heart and you know what they did they crushed it they

spat on it like it was nothing they wanted a monster something darker something twisted something they could [Music] fear well then you give them what they asked for you think the world's soft nah son the world don't owe you a damn thing life's cruel life's cold you think anyone out here is going to feel sorry for you going to cry tears over what you lost over how hard you worked they'll forget your name before the sun sets they'll laugh at your scars and call you weak before they turn around and pretend you never existed so

you want their respect you want them to feel the fire they stoked inside you and you stop being the victim you stop pleading for Mercy Mercy ain't ever saved anyone sure as hell ain't going to save you they see as a beast good show them how right they were show them what a cornered animal does when it's got nowhere to run you tear apart everything in your path you take their hate their doubt their words like knives and you sharpen them into weapons you want Power it's there it's in the pain they gave you every

single lie they fed you every single time they turned their backs that's where your strength lies but let me tell you something and listen close now cuz this is where most people lose the threat don't just be a monster for them be a monster for you you ain't here to prove nothing to nobody you ain't got nothing to prove to this world that tried to bury you you nah this is about survival this is about looking in the mirror and seeing the demon they created and not being ashamed of it you want to know why

they hate monsters it ain't cuz of the fangs or the claws or the fire in your eyes it's cuz monsters don't care monsters do what they want monsters don't bend to rules they don't play nice they don't beg for scraps and that's what scares them they wanted you tamed they wanted you broken and here you are standing on this mountain refusing to be put down you feel that that cold empty feeling deep inside that's what's left when the world Stripped Away Your softness that's where your strength comes from from nothing and now you're here looking

at me asking for what permission validation you ain't getting that from me kid you ain't getting no good job or a pat on the back you want to stand at the top then you better be ready to fight for every damn inch ain't nobody else going to climb this mountain for you look life ain't a story you ain't the hero in some fairy tale T Heroes get slaughtered they get forgotten buried under the weight of their own righteousness you want to be a hero go ahead and die for some cause nobody's going to remember but

you you want to live right you want to win then you got to stop thinking like a hero start thinking like a monster you burn down the forest you salt the Earth you leave nothing behind for anyone to follow you take what's yours and you don't apologize for it you become the thing they fear you use their hate you wear it like armor you feel that pain that's your fuel now you feed on it you let it push you forward when you're too tired to move and when they come crawling back begging for mercy begging

for forgiveness you don't even look their way cuz monsters don't forgive monsters don't forget you want it strength it's right here in the ashes in the blood in the bones of everything they tried to break in you you think this is some kind of game you think you're just going to walk back down this mountain after everything you've been through and they're going to welcome you with open arms nah let me tell you how it's really going to go you're going to go back down there and they're going to look at you like you've changed

and you know what they're right you have changed you ain't the same person who started that climb and that scares them you know why they wanted you weak because weakness is easy weakness is controllable but you you're not weak anymore you ain't the person they could push around the one who would bow their head and keep quiet that version of you gone buried and now they don't know what to do with you you know what the funny thing is they asked for this they wanted to see what you'd become when you hit your breaking point

they didn't think you'd survive it they thought you'd crumble like they did thought you'd fade away just another forgotten face in a sea of failures but you didn't did you nah you crawled up this mountain bleeding clawing dragging yourself every step of the way and now now you stand at the top looking down at them and they can't handle it you ever wonder why they hate strength so much it's cuz strength don't need permission strength don't wait for approval you got it now real strength not the fake kind they pretend to have and they can't

stand it they see the power in your eyes and it burns them makes them feel small makes them remember all the things they'll never be but that's not your problem you ain't here to make them feel better you ain't here to soothe their egos or make them comfortable you climbed this mountain for you you fought every step of the way for you and now you've got a choice to make you go back down there show them what you've become or you keep climbing leave them in the dust and never look back you think they deserve

to see this version of you the version they tried so hard to destroy or do you show them what real destruction looks like you tear down everything they ever knew everything they ever thought about you and you don't stop until there's nothing left you want to know what it means to be a monster it means you don't play by their rules anymore you don't wait for them to tell you who you are you you decide who you are and they either fall in line or they get out of your way they wanted a monster then

let them have it give them every ounce of the rage the pain the hunger you've been holding back Let it Loose they thought they knew you they thought they could predict your every move but now now they're looking at something they don't understand and nothing terrifies them more than the unknown the world don't need more Heroes Heroes die Heroes get crushed under the weight of other people's expectations but monsters monsters live forever they become Legends stories people whisper about in fear they don't fade away they don't get forgotten and right now you got the chance

to become something more than they ever dreamed of you ever heard the phrase be careful what you wish for they wanted to see how far they could push you they wanted to see what you'd become when you finally snapped and now they're going to find out they thought they were building a monster to control but they were wrong you ain't controlled by nobody now you're free and that freedom That's What Makes You dangerous they ain't ready for you they ain't ready for the storm that's coming that's their problem not yours you owe them nothing not

your kindness not your forgiveness not even your attention you walk down there and you take what's yours you rip it from their hands if you have to and if they try to stand in your way well you show them just how real monsters can be but here's the thing you got to understand and being a monster it ain't about being cruel for the sake of it it ain't about Mindless rage number it's about Focus it's about knowing exactly who you are exactly what you want and doing whatever it takes to get it it's about clarity

about purpose monsters ain't chaotic they're calculated they see the world for what it is a battlefield and on that Battlefield you don't win by playing fair you win by doing whatever it takes to survive to thrive and you you are a Survivor don't ever forget that they wanted to break you but here you are standing taller than ever and now it's time to make your move time to stop hiding stop waiting stop hoping for a better day you take that better day and you make it yours you wanted to know what it means to be

a monster this is it you stop letting them Define you you stop letting them control you and you take back everything they tried to steal you think they're going to respect you for it number they'll fear you and that's better cuz respect Fades fear fear sticks fear keeps them in check fear makes sure they never forget your name you feel that cold in your chest that's not weakness that's your Edge that's what sets you apart use it wield it like a weapon and never let them see you hesitate monsters don't Flinch monsters don't second guess

they move forward Unstoppable Relentless and you you're just getting started you're not even close to understanding what you've stepped into Are you standing here you think it's just about fighting through about surviving but I told you it's deeper than that it's darker than that you ain't climbing this mountain just to say you did it nah you're climbing it because something inside you something real snapped you lost your faith in this world you stopped believing in second chances you realized they don't exist for people like you didn't you they don't hand out Mercy not to the

broken not to the ones who've already been kicked down and left for dead they wanted a monster you've heard it your whole life haven't you they wanted to see what would happen if they pushed you just a little further if they Stripped Away the last bit of Hope you had and when you snapped they called you the villain that's how they play it right they poke and prod until you can't take it no more and then when you finally lose it they act all surprised like they didn't create the thing standing in front of them

but here's the truth and you better listen close because I'm only saying this once they don't hate the monster they've made they hate that they can't control it that's why they're scared of you now you stopped being predictable you stopped being the person they could toy with manipulate use for their own gain you stopped playing their game and once you did that you became [Music] dangerous let me ask you something when you look at yourself really look at yourself what do you see do you still see that person who cared about what they thought that

person who worried about fitting in about being accepted nah that person's long gone what's left that's the monster they made and let me tell you something else about monsters they don't owe nobody nothing they don't bend they don't beg and they sure as hell don't break just because someone else says they should you understand what I'm saying they wanted to see what would happen if you reached your limit well guess what you are the limit you're the thing they can't measure can't contain you're the thing they fear but don't understand you ever wonder why people

hate monsters so much it ain't because of what monsters do it's because monsters don't hide who they are they're real they're raw they ain't putting on some mask pretending to be something they're not monsters are honest brutally honest and people they hate honesty they hate seeing what they could be if they stopped pretending and that's what you've become a reflection of everything they're two scared to [Music] face you're standing at the edge now you can go back crawl down this mountain pretend you're still one of them try to fit back into that broken mold they

made for you or you can step forward and embrace what you've become embrace the fact that you'll never fit in because you ain't meant to you weren't built built for their world you were built for something greater something harder you think monsters are born nah they're made they're forged in Fire and suffering in the darkness that most people run from and when you stop running from it when you face it head on that's when you realize you ain't like them anymore you you've been through things they can't even imagine and you survived no you thrived

you grew stronger and now now you're something else entirely but here's the thing you can't just be a monster you got to own it you got to own every scar every wound every drop of blood you shed on this climb you got to wear it like a badge like armor cuz that's what it is it's your Shield against the world that tried to tear you apart and every time they look at you they're going to see that armor and it's going to remind them of what they did it's going to remind them that they failed

and you you don't don't let them forget you don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you back down of seeing you doubt yourself you walk into their world and you own every inch of it you make them uncomfortable you make them scared and when they ask why you tell them because you asked for this you wanted to see what I would become when you pushed me too far now you get to live with it but don't mistake what I'm saying this ain't about revenge this ain't about getting even that's small time thinking monsters don't waste

their time on Petty paybacks monsters look at the bigger picture you're not here to hurt them you're here to make sure sure they never forget that they can't break you that no matter what they do you'll rise you'll climb you'll take what's yours they think they can chain you to their rules to their expectations you burn those chains to Ash you rise above their limitations their small minds their narrow views you are Beyond them now you don't need their approval their acceptance their validation You've Got Your Own Strength your own power and that's all you'll

ever need you ever wonder why people tell you to calm down to take it easy to be reasonable it's because they see what you're capable of and it terrifies them they see that fire in your eyes and they know that if you ever fully Unleashed it they'd be powerless to stop you that's why they try to cage you to control you but here's the truth cages are for the weak for the ones who are afraid to face the world as it is you you were never meant for a cage You Were Meant to tear them

down so you want to know what comes next you go back down that mountain and you don't just survive you dominate you take everything they said you couldn't have you become everything they said you'd never be and when they try to drag you down you don't fight them you rise so high above them that they can't even reach you and if they still want a monster you give them one you give them the kind of monster that doesn't Bend doesn't break and sure as hell doesn't bow to anyone you become the thing they feared all

along and you don't apologize for it you think you know who you are now don't you but this is just the beginning you're standing on the edge of something greater than you could ever imagine but to step into it you got to let go of everything that's holding you back you got to shed the last bit of that person you used to be you got to embrace the monster fully the people down there they don't deserve the version of you that's still holding on to Hope still holding on to the idea that they'll change they

won't they'll never understand you never accept you and that's okay you don't need them you don't need anyone but yourself they wanted a monster then you show them what it means to be Untamed Unstoppable and unbreakable you show them that the thing they created is more powerful than they ever imagined you become the nightmare that haunts them the force they can't control and when it's all said and done you'll stand at the top of the mountain looking down at the world that tried to break you and you'll know deep in your bones you're not just

surviving anymore you're ruling
