Forged in Praise — Rap Edit 2

Intro (instrumental; hum/organ) Verse 1 (intimate) I walked through the flame with a fist and a promise Counted breaths in the dark till the morning came honest Scars read like scripture; mercy signed the page I carry the embers — I carry out of the grave Pre‑Chorus (build) What tried to break my bones only gave my voice its sound Every fall taught my hands how to steady up and bow Chorus (anthemic; choir answers) Forged in praise — I roar my thanks, crowned and unafraid Risen from the flame — not by my strength, by a higher trade Forged in praise — every scar is thunder in my chest I am whole, I am held, I am grateful and I bless Verse 2 (warmer grit) There were nights that kept me small; mornings that felt thin Hands that would not let me go showed me how to begin Now my voice moves like thunder; my feet remember grace I walk loud for the fallen, make a doorway of this place Rap Verse A — 16 bars (confident, rhythmic) Beat drops, lights up, ledger open, lines in fire Lessons in the margins; gratitude the wire That holds the heart together when the storm come knocking I learned to keep my shoulders squared, keep the light from dropping No sugar on the truth — I speak the facts in color Mobition on my chest, I move like no other From stitches to the pulpit, from hush to thunderclap I trade the whisper for the roar and never go back Internal rhymes like heartbeat, cadence like a drumline Every scar, every story — yeah, they sign the timeline I give thanks for the making more than for the taking Every fall was architecture for the second‑coming raising Check the crown, check the hands that steadied me when I fell I return the praise in louder ways — watch me tell Chorus (reinforce; choir rings) Forged in praise — I roar my thanks, crowned and unafraid Risen from the flame — not by my strength, by a higher trade Forged in praise — every scar is thunder in my chest I am whole, I am held, I am grateful and I bless Rap Verse B — 24 bars (prophetic, punchlines, dynamic flow) I write my name in embers, autograph the night sky Every lesson like a lesson plan — built to testify Pressure made diamonds, pressure made the cadence clean I stitch the torn, dress the worn, elevate the unseen Concrete to cathedral — I raised the roof with my prayers Hands that held me steady taught me how to bear Now I steer the vessel, captain of the grateful tide I give my voice to the voiceless, give my strength to the wide Bar for bar I’m grateful — gratitude is physical I lace it in the chorus, baptize it in the ritual No vanity flex, this is offering and altar work I flip the script on shame, light the dark where it lurks Mobition movement — from the margins to the main We turn the small to sacred, reassign the name Didymus with the steady breath, crown heavy, shoulders set I move like I remember every hand that kept me yet Take the ember, pass it on, let it glow in their palm We make a highway out of grace and call it calm So if you doubted my rise — check the ledger of the past Every scar a stanza — every wound ordained to last Bridge / Spoken Blessing (intimate) (Spoken) For every hand that steadied me, for every voice that named me true, I return a grateful life. Let this be a doorway. Final Chorus (key up to F major; full choir, strings, guitars) Forged in praise — lift the sound, shout the thanks, proclaim Risen from the fire — every scar made holy in his name Forged in praise — all my ashes woven into light I am whole, I am held, burning brighter in his sight Outro (tag) Burning brighter, crowned and grateful — Mobition and Didy T
