(Intro - Spoken with intensity over the beat) Yeah... Check. They thought the struggle would finish me. But I was built for the pressure. Born in the fire... meant to fly higher. Watch this.
(Verse 1) They see the struggle, they see the pain in my eyes, They see the concrete, they don't see the skies. They hear the drill beats, they feel the tension, the hate, But I see a vision, I know it's all fate. Every setback, every L, every night feeling lost, Just another lesson learned, no matter the cost. I been down in the trenches, felt the walls closin' in, But that's where the grind starts, that's where you gotta begin. Forged in the furnace, like a phoenix, I'm reborn, Took all the hate and the doubt, and I tore it all apart.
(Chorus - Aggressive, rhythmic flow) I'm gonna rise like a phoenix, born to fly, Touch the sky, leave the lies behind. Drill in my soul, but I'm aiming for heaven, This life is a test, and I'm passing the lesson. Yeah, I'm gonna rise, watch me elevate, This ain't just luck, nah, this is fate. From the bottom to the top, that's the mission, Born from the struggle, on a relentless ambition.
(Verse 2) They talk slick, tryna throw me off my course, But their words are just noise, filled with empty remorse. I got my eyes on the prize, my feet on the grind, A vision so clear, I designed it in my mind. No fear in my heart, just fire in my veins, Turning all of the struggles, converting the pain. I'm not just rapping, I'm preaching my truth, A testament to grit, for the youth. For everyone who's been counted out, left for dead, Just remember the words that the phoenix said...
(Bridge - Beat drops to a somber piano loop for a moment) The darkest night produces the brightest dawn... The weakest steps can still be moving on... They said I wouldn't make it, had nothing to show... But look at me now—watch me grow...
(Outro - Beat returns full force, then fades) Yeah... Phoenix rise. Born to fly. Remember that. Grind don't stop. 'Til I touch the sky. One.
