From Zero to a God

[Intro]
Used to be a ghost
Name never got spoke
Cold floor, thin coat
Every day felt broke
[Verse 1]
Hand-me-down shoes
Pebbles in the sole
Walking through rain
Like it washed my soul
Late bus, late rent
Late on my own hope
Mama said “pray”
I just stared at the smoke
Dark room, blunt tip
Writing in the dark
Phone at one percent
Dreams at half a spark
They laughed at my plans
Turned back to their screens
I turned to the pain
Carved it into schemes
[Chorus]
Went from ain’t nobody
To feeling like a god
Power level jumping
From zero to a charge
Now they say they know me
They never saw the blood
From the dirt, from the mud
Now I rise, now I rise
From nobody to a god
(yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Fell through the cracks
Right between the tiles
Voices in the vents
Whisper I’m too mild
Then I heard mine
Echo off the wall
Low, raw, quiet
But it still stood tall
Pockets full of lint
Stomach full of pride
Anger in my lungs
Had to let it slide
Started talking truth
People pressed rewind
Every single bar
Took a piece of time
[Chorus]
Went from ain’t nobody
To feeling like a god
Power level jumping
From zero to a charge
Now they say they know me
They never saw the blood
From the dirt, from the mud
Now I rise, now I rise
From nobody to a god
(oh, now I rise)
[Bridge]
They ain’t see me on the floor
Face down, asking “what for?”
They ain’t see the quiet wars
Just the final roar
If you never knew my name
You gon’ learn it in the flame
I was zero in their eyes
Now I’m burning up the sky
[Chorus]
Went from ain’t nobody
To feeling like a god
Power level jumping
From zero to a charge
Now they say they know me
They never saw the blood
From the dirt, from the mud
Now I rise, now I rise
From nobody to a god
(now I rise, now I rise)

rap, Cinematic trap-rap with male vocals; sparse, dragging drums and deep sub bass under eerie keys and pitched choir stabs. Verses start almost whispered, growing in grit and intensity each bar; hook explodes with layered, shouted doubles and wide reverb tails. Subtle risers and reverse effects swell into each chorus, final outro strips back to just vocal and a single piano note tolling like a bell., hip hop, slow
