Rise From The Ashes

(Intro - Soft & Reflective) Yeah… I been down bad before… Felt like the world closed every door… But if you hear this, just know one thing— You ain't gotta stay there. (Verse 1 - Fast Flow, Story Begins) Seventeen, waking up to alarms, Mom screaming, bills past due, life hard. Dad left, said he’d be back real soon, That was six years back, now it's just me in this room. Late nights, drowning pain in a notebook, Prayin’ to a God that I barely even know, look— They told me, “Life ain’t fair, just deal,” But how I’m supposed to heal when I barely got a meal? Streetlights flicker, gotta make my way, Dreams too big for this broke-down place. They laughed when I said I was destined for more, Now they knocking on my door, but I don’t keep score. (Pre-Chorus - Melodic, Emotional) I been lost, I been down, I been broken, But I rose, I survived, I was chosen. Through the fire, through the rain, through the madness, I still stand, yeah, I rise from the ashes. (Chorus - Uplifting & Powerful) I ran through the dark, I crawled through the pain, Fought all my demons, they scream in my brain. I lost who I was, but I found my own name, Yeah, I rise, yeah, I rise from the flames. No chains, no fear, no breaks, no tears, Took Ls for years, now the future’s clear. Tell ‘em I won’t stop till I touch that sky, Yeah, I rise, yeah, I rise till I fly. (Verse 2 - Fast & Reflective, Overcoming Obstacles) Looking back now, it was all just lessons, Pain ain’t a curse, man, pain is a blessing. Every scar that I got, every night that I cried, Made the fire in my heart burn twice as bright. I been knocked down, yeah, I been real low, Slept on floors, had nowhere to go. They told me I’d fail, said I’d never be great, Now my name’s on their lips like a song on replay. I ain’t do this for the money, I ain’t do this for the fame, I did it for the kids tryna break out the chains. For the ones who got dreams but feel too small, This for y’all, yeah, we gonna stand tall. (Pre-Chorus - Emotional Build-Up) I been lost, I been down, I been broken, But I rose, I survived, I was chosen. Through the fire, through the rain, through the madness, I still stand, yeah, I rise from the ashes. (Chorus - Full Energy, Victorious Feel) I ran through the dark, I crawled through the pain, Fought all my demons, they scream in my brain. I lost who I was, but I found my own name, Yeah, I rise, yeah, I rise from the flames. No chains, no fear, no breaks, no tears, Took Ls for years, now the future’s clear. Tell ‘em I won’t stop till I touch that sky, Yeah, I rise, yeah, I rise till I fly. (Outro - Hopeful, Melodic Fading) If you feel lost, if you feel alone, Just know that the fire inside you ain't gone. You were made for more, you were built to last, Now rise up—leave the pain in the past.
