[Intro] Yeah They tried to write my ending I just picked a sharper pen [Verse 1] I was eating from the scraps Now my name on every plate Turned that pressure into progress Kept my focus, kept my pace They were talking like they knew me They were praying I would break But I built a different backbone Steel spine, steady aim Took the blame they kept on handing Lit it, watched it turn to flame Every doubt became a doorway Every loss, another gain They were laughing in the hallway I was working in the rain Now they choke upon the story When they try to say my name (say my name) [Pre-Chorus] All that noise, I turned to silence All that pain, I turned to power Every time they tried to doubt me I just doubled every hour [Chorus] I rise, I rise, I rise You can't bury what survives I'm the storm they can't contain Turn that hurt into a crown, into a chain I'm worth more than all their lies You can't measure me in tries From the ashes, from the fire, from the ruins Watch me rise, watch me rise, yeah I'm above the ruins (hey!) [Verse 2] They compared me to their limits I was seeing something else I was staring at the summit They were staring at themselves Had to cut off all that poison Had to guard my mental health Now my circle small and solid And my vision building wealth Every setback was a setup Every crack, a way to shine I was walking through that wreckage With a war inside my mind They said humble, they meant quiet They said patient, they meant wait I said never, I said now Made my own damn gate [Pre-Chorus] All that weight, I made it armor All those scars, they spell my name Every time they tried to stop me I just stepped around the shame [Chorus] I rise, I rise, I rise You can't bury what survives I'm the storm they can't contain Turn that hurt into a crown, into a chain I'm worth more than all their lies You can't measure me in tries From the ashes, from the fire, from the ruins Watch me rise, watch me rise, yeah I'm above the ruins (above the ruins) [Bridge] Talk down on me, that’s fuel Throw stones at me, that’s tools Every bruise, new rule Every fall, new school Tell me I won't, then I will Say I can't climb, then I scale that hill I don't break, I bend, then snap right back I don't crack, I craft my path (yeah) [Chorus] I rise, I rise, I rise You can't bury what survives I'm the storm they can't contain Turn that hurt into a crown, into a chain I'm worth more than all their lies You can't measure me in tries From the ashes, from the fire, from the ruins Watch me rise, watch me rise, yeah I'm above the ruins

rap, Hard-hitting hip-hop banger with punchy drums, rattling low-end, and aggressive male vocals. Verses spit in a tight, staccato flow over minimal dark keys; pre-chorus adds rising synth pads for tension, then the chorus explodes with stacked gang vocals, widened stereo claps, and a bigger bass contour. Occasional ad-libs and drops for impact, ending on a powerful a cappella hook line., emotional, hip-hop, rhythmic
