[Intro – ] [Yeah It’s time to elevate— Felt like I was getting complacent— I will not continue at this rate] ⸻ [Verse 1 – hip hop cadence] [I’ve been pacing these halls with my back to the wall, Every promise I use to make, Cracks inside of them all. Living life mistake by mistake. Loved ones advising me to “slow down.” Not too late, too much at stake. Heart full of chaos, time can’t be unwound.] [Built from the nights that tried breaking my spine, Every scar on my chest is a mark of the climb.] [Learned the most about love when I sat with the pain. One thing is for sure, life has a way of leaving a stain. Surround yourself with the ones who remain. Remembering the journey from the pain to see the gain.] ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – melodic rise] [I walk in my presence, Remembering my essence in this existence. Every failure- once felt like standing in the fire. New beginnings- now guided by a Power that is Higher.] ⸻ [Chorus – melodoic vibe continues] [I’m still breathing— Still healing— Every strike from life reminds me I’m alive. Darkness can try to erase me, Burn me down to bones— Reborn like a phoenix, divinity exists, rolled away stones. Gifted with the light, I’m coming home.] ⸻ [Verse 2 – rap / hip hop flow] [I’ve been carrying weight they don’t see in my eyes, Smiles on my face, but the truth eats away at the insides. Back to the real me, I am living proof. I learned loyalty’s rare, trust ain’t cheap, Some promises rot away when you fall asleep. Got to sharpen my mind Adjust my words Rhythm of life opening new doors.] ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 – ] [I use to hear the echoes of the doubt Attempting to pull me under again. Im older, I’m wiser, I’m stronger than the voices now, — OUT!] ⸻ [Chorus – layered vocals] [I’m still breathing— Still healing— Every strike from life reminds me I’m alive. Darkness can try to erase me, Burn me down to bones— Reborn like a phoenix, divinity exists, rolled away stones. Gifted with the light, I’m coming home.] ⸻ [Bridge – breakdown + lyrical emphasis] [(Climbing higher and higher!) I’ve been bent, but not ever broken. Life spent like I’m on my last token. I survived everything meant to end me. Finally able to see things clearly, Able to redefine my history — not letting this story define me.] ⸻ [Final Chorus – ] [I’m still breathing— Still healing— Every strike from life reminds me I’m alive. Darkness can try to erase me, Burn me down to bones— Reborn like a phoenix, divinity exists, rolled away stones. Gifted with the light, I’m coming home.] ⸻ [Outro – ] Still breathing. Still healing. (Yeah) [Instrumental Close]
