Rise Again

They left me in the dust, I’m a phoenix in flames

Losses on the board, but I’m switching up the game

Counting scars like stripes, on my chest they remain

Every L’s a trophy, fuel pumping through my veins

Turn the failure into steps, climbin’ outta my grave

Put the crown on my pain, now my soul’s feelin’ brave

Dark clouds in the rear, see the shine when it clears

The comeback is a roar echoing through the years

Bounce back, like rubber bands snapping wide

Down but not out, still riding the tide

Drip of sweat, grind stronger than pride

Loss can’t stop me, my soul won't hide

Hands dirty but my spirit stay clean

Vision razor sharp, cutting through the mean

Blow after blow but I bob and I weave

A gladiator soul, built to never concede

Veins pump pressure and I rise to the thrill

Every moment I stumble, I'm sharpening skill

Concrete jungle's stomping, but I stay unbent

Stronger in the struggle, and that’s what it meant

Bounce back, like rubber bands snapping wide

Down but not out, still riding the tide

Drip of sweat, grind stronger than pride

Loss can’t stop me, my soul won't hide
