[Intro]
Wake up in the dungeon
Dust in my lungs
Hands still shaking
Blood on my tongue (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I was rank E, laughed at, back row
Tiny little health bar, one blow
Party used me, front line scarecrow
Signed my name on the death note, let's go
Gate shut, god eyes on the stone wall
Statue stare, one move, then it's roll call
Saw friends freeze, heard bones in a free fall
I chose pain, chose pact, chose protocol
Woke up weak body, new screen, new code
Quests in my head like a cheat-mode load
Daily grind, push-up, roadwork, cold
Bruised my pride till the HP glowed
[Chorus]
Solo leveling, I rise, I rise
Shadow army in my eyes, my eyes (woah)
From the bottom where they left me to die
Now they kneel when I walk on by
Solo leveling, I grind, I grind
Every scar rewrote my mind, my mind (yeah)
Used to beg fate, now I draw the line
Say my name and the world’s all mine
[Verse 2]
Click, accept quest, no rest, that’s normal
Boss room dark, my fear turned formal
Chain-saw smile, teeth long, too cordial
Cut that grin, made death feel cordial (hah)
Turn corpses to recruits, that’s payroll
Every fallen enemy a day-old
General at my back in a gray cloak
Blade in his hand and his halo broke
Mom still sleeping, bills on the table
Little sis studying, thinking I'm stable
I bleed shadows just to keep them able
Walk through hell so their world stays fable
I don't pray now, I update
Every loss just raised my base state
If it’s just me vs. this whole gate
Then it’s gate break, world quake, checkmate
[Chorus]
Solo leveling, I rise, I rise
Shadow army in my eyes, my eyes (hey!)
From the bottom where they left me to die
Now they kneel when I walk on by
Solo leveling, I grind, I grind
Every scar rewrote my mind, my mind
Used to beg fate, now I draw the line
Say my name and the world’s all mine
[Bridge]
Who’s weak now?
Say it with your chest
I was built out
Of every failed test
From “please save me”
To “don’t get in my way”
Same dungeon
But I set the play (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Solo leveling, I rise, I rise
Shadow army in my eyes, my eyes (woah)
From the bottom where they left me to die
Now they kneel when I walk on by
Solo leveling, I grind, I grind
Every scar rewrote my mind, my mind
Used to beg fate, now I draw the line
Say my name and the world’s all mine
