“Built From The City (Columbus Anthem)” [Intro] Yeah… From the city lights to the late-night fights Still I rise, still I write my life [Hook] I came up from the pressure, I ain’t break, I just bent Every scar on my soul is a story it sent Columbus nights, yeah I learned what it meant To turn pain to a plan, now I’m heaven-sent I been down, I been low, I been stuck in the rain But I built myself back from the weight of the chain Now I’m moving through the dark with a spark in my veins Still I rise, still I grind through the pain [Verse 1] Started with nothing but a dream in my chest Tryna make sense of stress when life wouldn’t rest Every dollar got stretched, every loss felt pressed Had to learn real quick, no time for “what’s next” Columbus streets got a rhythm of struggle Where you fight for your peace and survive in the hustle Every day was a puzzle, every move had trouble But I stayed in my lane, never fell in the rubble I seen friends turn strangers, love turn to distance Had to cut off the noise just to build my existence Now I walk with persistence, yeah I keep my vision Every setback I had turned into a lesson [Hook] I came up from the pressure, I ain’t break, I just bent Every scar on my soul is a story it sent Columbus nights, yeah I learned what it meant To turn pain to a plan, now I’m heaven-sent I been down, I been low, I been stuck in the rain But I built myself back from the weight of the chain Now I’m moving through the dark with a spark in my veins Still I rise, still I grind through the pain [Verse 2] Late nights thinking ‘bout the moves I could make Tryna turn every loss into something I take Had to learn patience when the world felt fake Now I move with intent, every step I create Yeah I stumbled, I fell, I ain’t stay on the ground Had to silence the doubt when it echoed the sound Now I’m building my name on the strength that I found From the underground rise, yeah I wear it like crown Every bill, every stress, every weight on my back Turned me into a man who ain’t ever look back Now I’m stacking my focus, keeping mind on the track If I said I would do it, then I’m bringing it back [Hook] I came up from the pressure, I ain’t break, I just bent Every scar on my soul is a story it sent Columbus nights, yeah I learned what it meant To turn pain to a plan, now I’m heaven-sent I been down, I been low, I been stuck in the rain But I built myself back from the weight of the chain Now I’m moving through the dark with a spark in my veins Still I rise, still I grind through the pain [Bridge] And I know it gets heavy when the world don’t call When you feel like you’re nothing, like you might just fall But I turned my collapse to a standing tall Now I’m answering life like I own it all [Verse 3] Now I see clearer than I ever did Every struggle I lived made a stronger kid Now I speak for the nights that I never quit Every line that I write is a benefit I ain’t chasing approval, I’m chasing my peace Every chain that I broke put my mind at ease Now I move with a purpose, I don’t beg, I believe Everything that I am, yeah I built from the grief So I ride through the city with a different tone Every block that I pass feel like coming home Still I grind for the life that I claim as my own From the struggle I rose, now I’m fully grown [Final Hook / Outro] I came up from the pressure, I ain’t break, I just bent Every scar on my soul is a story it sent Columbus nights, yeah I learned what it meant To turn pain to a plan, now I’m heaven-sent I been down, I been low, I been stuck in the rain But I built myself back from the weight of the chain Now I’m moving through the dark with a spark in
