Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
I used to smile through every storm,
Hide my heart just to look warm.
Gave my all till I was numb,
Love turned quiet, I went dumb.
They said “you’re too much,” — I believed it,
Built walls high, yeah, I grieved it.
Now I’m learning how to breathe,
With no one else — just me.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I’m not the same,
But I don’t need to be ashamed.
My tears built this crown I wear,
Every scar — proof I care.
[Chorus]
I’m the cherry on top — not perfect, but real,
Confidence born from what I feel.
Every fall made me stand still taller,
Every wound made my heart feel fuller.
Ooh, I’m the cherry on top,
Sweet and strong, I won’t stop.
I don’t need your validation — watch,
I’m the cherry on top. 352
[Rap Verse]
I’ve been the quiet one, holding the weight,
Smiled when it hurt, carried the hate.
Now I glow ‘cause I made peace with the pain,
Turned every loss to my kind of gain.
They doubted me — I didn’t fold,
Learned that healing’s the kind of gold.
Now I walk in truth, not fear,
If you don’t vibe, I’m still here.
Soft doesn’t mean weak, it means kind,
Power’s not loud, it’s peace of mind.
I’m not chasing — I attract,
My worth speaks; that’s a fact.
[Bridge] (soft but strong)
I’m done dimming my light for ease,
Now I shine the way I please.
I’m not lucky — I’m the climb,
Built my wings one fall at a time.
[Final Chorus]
I’m the cherry on top — raw and refined,
Everything I lost, I’ve redesigned.
I don’t fake the glow I’ve got,
It’s the storm that made it hot.
Ooh, I’m the cherry on top,
No more fear, no more stop.
I’m not broken — I just evolved,
Yeah, I’m the cherry on top. 352 496
