Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] This from the heart Been torn apart Gotta start from the ground up Dust in my lungs, but I stand up Cup half filled Been shot dead, killed Story of my life in a chalk line Mama say pray, I just talk quiet Cuts sharper than a knife tip Trust turn to rust, let the time drip Hotter than the sun, but my hands cold I’ve only ever been one, never fit the mold [Chorus] From the ground up, from the ground up (yeah) Every scar on my skin still pounds up Cup half filled, but I still raise it Shot down twice, but I still face it From the ground up, from the ground up They bury my name, but it sprouts up Story of my life, I can’t rewind Only ever been one, I’ma still shine [Verse 2] Blood on my shoes from the long run Heart in a box, I don’t show none Lost so much sleep that my dreams thin Heaven on my mind, but I breathe sin I was begging for a hand, they just looked through Talk cheap, pain deep, that’s the real truth Still I plant these seeds in the cracked dirt Turn a graveyard plot to a rebirth [Chorus] From the ground up, from the ground up (yeah) Every scar on my skin still pounds up Cup half filled, but I still raise it Shot down twice, but I still face it From the ground up, from the ground up They bury my name, but it sprouts up Story of my life, I can’t rewind Only ever been one, I’ma still shine

rap, Dark, confessional trap: moody keys and a distant vocal sample over spaced 808s and crisp hats. Verses ride a mid-tempo bounce with close, whispery male vocals; hook widens into layered doubles and subtle harmonies. Occasional filter sweeps and drops for impact under key lines.
