[Verse 1]
I rise from dirt
My name is strong
Everyone around me
I prove 'em wrong
You step to me
I'm not even there
Like a ghost in the room
I disappear
Cold on the move
But my head stay clear
Heavy on my back
Still I got no fear
They want my seat
I don't save a chair
I came with the truth
Now the whole block stare
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch me climb
Watch me rise
Same old face
New fire in my eyes
You talk that talk
I don't need your shine
I built this lane
Line by line
[Chorus]
I rise from dirt
I rise from dirt
My name stay hard
My name stay heard
You can't touch me
You can't break this
I move like smoke
I vanish, then hit
I rise from dirt
I rise from dirt
Tell 'em again
I'm not what they guessed
[Verse 2]
Hands got scars
From the work I kept
Late nights stacked up
Every promise I kept
No silver plate
No lucky break
Just a steady heart
And a heavy stake
They see the flex
Don't see the pain
Don't see the miles
Or the sleepless rain
Now when I walk through
Whole room lean
Old doubts quiet
Like a bad dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Watch me climb
Watch me rise
Same old face
New fire in my eyes
You talk that talk
I don't need your shine
I built this lane
Line by line
[Chorus]
I rise from dirt
I rise from dirt
My name stay hard
My name stay heard
You can't touch me
You can't break this
I move like smoke
I vanish, then hit
I rise from dirt
I rise from dirt
Tell 'em again
I'm not what they guessed
[Bridge]
From the mud to the mark
From the cut to the crown
Every time they push back
I come back down
I don't fold, I don't freeze
I don't play dead
I was made in the struggle
Still I stand instead
[Chorus]
I rise from dirt
I rise from dirt
My name stay hard
My name stay heard
You can't touch me
You can't break this
I move like smoke
I vanish, then hit
I rise from dirt
I rise from dirt
Tell 'em again
I'm not what they guessed
