[Verse]
Brick walls crumble, fists full of gravel,
In the jungle of struggle, where dreams unravel.
Chains on my ankles, but my mind stays agile,
Concrete jungle, heart pumping tribal.
The block's a furnace, I’m forged in the flame,
System tried to erase me, but I carved out my name.
Pavement scars on my knuckles, proof of the brawl,
Climbing up the ladder, even if the rungs fall.
[Chorus]
Rise from the rubble, fists to the sky,
Echoes of the fallen, we refuse to die.
They can shackle my body, but my soul won't comply,
We rise, we rise, we rise, multiply.
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker, but the fight stays lit,
They threw stones at my temple, I built a monolith.
Steel-toed boots stomp oppression’s stage,
Mic in my hand, turn my rage into page.
Eyes bloodshot from the nights I’ve bled,
In the land of the living but danced with the dead.
Every bruise, every cut, tells a story of fight,
Turn my pain into power, transform dark into light.
[Bridge]
Hear the ancestors whisper through the wind,
"Stand tall, young soul, let the battle begin."
I’m the phoenix in the ashes, wings on the rise,
Skyline’s the limit, got fire in my eyes.
