Up & Out

Verse 1:

Cracked concrete, whispered dreams,

A melting pot of broken schemes.

Different faces, stories untold,

Rising from the filth, brave and bold.

Empty pockets, hunger's sting,

A symphony of what life wouldn't bring.

But in the depths, a fire burned,

A lesson learned, a page unturned.

Chorus:

I became the one who made it out,

From the ashes, hear me shout!

They watch me now, with envy's gaze,

The architect of brighter days.

I am the one they wish to be,

The self-made king, eternally.

Verse 2:

Scars like maps upon my skin,

Each line a battle, fought within.

The noise that haunts me, I embraced,

The life I have made, they chased.

Through trials deep, I pushed and crawled,

Against the odds, I stood up tall.

Now, I'm living the dream, it is true,

The tables have turned, on me and you.

Chorus:

I became the one who made it out,

From the ashes, hear me shout!

They watch me now, with envy's gaze,

The architect of brighter days.

I am the one they wish to be,

The self-made king, eternally.

Bridge:

Let them hate, let them stare,

I rose above, beyond compare.

The hunger fueled, the drive, the flame,

A legacy etched in my name.

Chorus:

I became the one who made it out,

From the ashes, hear me shout!

They watch me now, with envy's gaze,

The architect of brighter days.

I am the one they wish to be,

The self-made king, eternally.

Outro:

The one they turn to, in their need,

A testament to strength indeed.

From the streets to the highest peak,

Forever etching my place unique.
