(Verse 1)
Yo, born where the frostbite hits, air thin, never quits
From igloo dreams to big league schemes, crawled up outta pits
Sixteen, young gun, had my siblings lookin' up, son
World threw shade, saw a shadow, nah, I'm the risin' sun
Fam ain't get the vision, just the static, the friction
Labeled black sheep, man, I rewrote the whole damn mission
Had to hustle different, weight on my back, ain't no kiddin'
From frozen ground, built my own sound, ain't no way I'm quittin'
(Chorus)
From ice veins to mainstays, let the struggle bleed
Past froze my heart up, now I plant the victory seed
Black sheep turned alpha, meltin' down the cold degrees
Underdog season, snatchin' destiny with ease
Yeah, from icebergs to empires, watch the story crack
Built it brick by brick, ain't no turnin' back!
(Verse 2)
Yeah, them Arctic nights was lonely, just dreams burnin' bright like 'rora
Had my siblings watchin', couldn't afford to fold, bruh
Had to map my own route, this world's a cold explorer
Skipped the meals, missed the sleep, just to give them more, sir
Every footprint on that glacier, a sacrifice untold
Turned the chill of isolation to a fire, brave and bold
They ain't see the grind, just the outcome they perceive
Stackin' blessings outta pressure, gotta make my sibs believe.
(Bridge)
Wore that frostbite armour, refused the damn retreat
Every crack in my heart, now a trap drum with a beat (Boom!)
Fell through the thin ice, yeah, the pressure made me gasp
Rose up stronger, harder, tighter grip, a future in my grasp
Turned the tears to ink, the pain into the fire in the booth
Did it all for the fam, man, that's the honest truth
All them sacrifices made, pray they never walk this path I paved
Want their world warmer, safer, braver, a legacy saved.
(Chorus)
From ice veins to mainstays, let the struggle bleed
Past froze my heart up, now I plant the victory seed
Black sheep turned alpha, meltin' down the cold degrees
Underdog season, snatchin' destiny with ease
Yeah, from icebergs to empires, watch the story crack
Built it brick by brick, ain't no turnin' back!
(Verse 3)
They called me misfit, outcast, shadow lurkin' outta place
Frigid winds of judgment blowin' frost all on my face
Tried to keep me boxed in, lost out from the human race
Now the bass from my voice make the whole damn tundra quake! (Rumble!)
This ain't just resilience, nah, this echoes through the years
For my sibs, for the future, conquerin' all the fears
Every step I take now breaks the generational ice
So the next ones up don't ever have to pay this kinda price.
(Outro)
Yeah... sixteen... whole lotta weight.
Did what I had to do... for them.
This ain't just my story... this for them.
Break the cycle, you hear me?
Let the heat rise...
(Beat fades out with ad-libs like "Real talk", "Uh huh", "We good")
