[Verse]
Clock ticks louder, no rewind in the gears,
Shadows in the corner, whisperin' my fears.
Mama prayed hard, tears baptize the dirt,
Told me I’m a seed, but I gotta find the worth.
Nightmares clawing, but I’m climbin' out the pit,
Shovel full of doubts, buried deep in grit.
[Prechorus]
Chains on my ankles, now they bracelets of gold,
Every scar on my soul, a story I told.
[Chorus]
Rise up, hear the echoes in the night,
Tried to dim my flame, but I burn too bright.
Every step I take, I’m breakin’ the plan,
No boy here, I became a man.
Rise up, feel the fire in my chest,
Fail and fall, but I give my best.
This is my path, I don’t need no hand,
No boy here, I became a man.
[Verse 2]
Used to dream small, now the visions skyscrape,
Blueprints of pain built my fire escape.
Violin strings hum the song of my fight,
Every cut, every bruise, made my soul ignite.
Carved my name in the stone, heavy hands, no rest,
Every loss is a lesson, every win’s my crest.
[Bridge]
The violin cries, but I smile through the sound,
Every fall I took, taught me how to stand my ground.
Sweat drips crimson, but the crown fits tight,
Turned my shadows to a beacon, now I’m the light.
[Chorus]
Rise up, hear the echoes in the night,
Tried to dim my flame, but I burn too bright.
Every step I take, I’m breakin’ the plan,
No boy here, I became a man.
Rise up, feel the fire in my chest,
Fail and fall, but I give my best.
This is my
