Ground Zero Grown

[Verse 1] Scuffed hands Bandaged pride Bleeding in that training ground at night Kept losing my breath Every time you passed me by Mocked fear Masked as rage Every shout was just a shield I raised I swore on that day I’d crush the doubt in my own face [Pre-Chorus] They called it talent like it fell from the sky But they never saw the nights I almost quit Almost died Every scar on my arms Every burn on my palms Says I clawed my way up here Not calm [Chorus] I’m a Pro now But I crawled through the fire to say that Burned out Every weakness till I slayed that Hear that boom? That’s my heart when I face down fear Ground Zero grown I fought to stand right here [Verse 2] Old dreams Felt like chains Watching you get further every day Kept asking myself If I was built to lead the way Sharp tongue Short fuse Breaking every mirror in my room Till I saw in the cracks Someone who could change the rules [Pre-Chorus] Teachers said “hero ” I just heard “prove it” Every mission Every misstep I had to redo it Turned anger into aim Turned panic into plans Now the blast is controlled in my hands [Chorus] I’m a Pro now But I crawled through the fire to say that Burned out Every weakness till I slayed that Hear that boom? That’s my heart when I face down fear Ground Zero grown I fought to stand right here [Bridge] [low vocal register] If I fall I get up mad Mad enough to break the past I don’t wanna be your god I just wanna be the last One standing when it all Goes black Goes bad Goes wrong [whispered vocals] I won’t run I won’t run [crescendo] Tell the kid I was That I finally learned to care That I’ll blast a path So my squad can breathe up there [Chorus] [Chorus]
