*Title: "Foundation"*
***_
Yeah...
Grit in my lungs
Let’s go[Intro]
*[Verse 1]*
Dark nights, cold grind, no handouts, no plea
Grain to grain, stacking bricks to build my empire
No apologies for weakness - weakness don’t live here
I fall, I bleed, I rise - that’s the code I hold dear
They threw shade, they shook my frame way back
Tried to break my spine, now my posture intact
Every hit made the steel in my chest grow thicker
Pain was the proof that I’m built for bigger
_**_
Bold, I grow, and grow stronger moving forward
Scars on my back tell the story they ignored
Thanking God for the foundation, yeah, I’m grounded
With all the respect to who doubted, now I’m thunder
They shook my frame way back, but it made me who I am
Now I’m standing tall, unshakable, no damn plan B
And to my seeds, hear me clear when I’m gone[Chorus]
*[Verse 2]*
I’ll put you in the desert, let you find your roots
No easy road, no hand fed, no pursuit of spoils
Hunger makes kings, comfort makes slaves
I’d rather see you bleed than be okay with safe
This life ain’t for the soft, it’s for the built, the called
From the dirt to the throne, watch the empire rise tall
They said I’d fold, but I folded the odds instead
Now they talk low when my name gets said
_**_
Bold, I grow, and grow stronger moving forward
Scars on my back tell the story they ignored
Thanking God for the foundation, yeah, I’m grounded
With all the respect to who doubted, now I’m thunder
They shook my frame way back, but it made me who I am[Chorus]
_**_
To the ones who broke me - thanks
To the ones who left me - thanks
Without the storm, I’d never know my strength
Foundation solid, now I’m launching from the trench[Bridge]
_***
Grain to grain... empire built
No apologies... no guilt
Bold, I grow... stronger still
For my seeds... I’ll fulfill[Outro]
