Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up broke Phone on two Rent late Fridge on few Mama like, “Pray” Homies like, “Move” World on my back Old pair shoes Missed that call Job fell through Smile on my face Eyes say truth Scroll that feed Everybody look rich I’m stuck counting coins On a bus that glitch But I’m still here Heart still loud Can’t kill hope Can’t crush proud I’ve been kicked I’ve been dragged, that’s facts Still tie my laces Still run laps [Chorus] Life go up Life go down One day king Next day ground I been lost I been found Still I ride these Highs and lows right now When it hurts I don’t bow I just breathe, then Turn that pain to sound Life go up Life go down But I rise up Every time I hit the ground (yeah) [Verse 2] Got that call Lil sis got grades First in the fam Cap and that stage Tears in my eyes Laugh in my chest Sun through clouds Rain looks blessed But same week RIP on a shirt Black balloons Tryna dance through hurt We toast to the ones Who ain’t get this view Pour that love on the block Like it heal us too I done slept on floors Shared one plate Stared at the door Like “I can’t be late” Late to my purpose Late to my faith Then I learned every setback Setting my pace Now I thank God For the cracks and scars Let the dark nights talk To my shooting stars (yeah) [Chorus] Life go up Life go down One day king Next day ground I been lost I been found Still I ride these Highs and lows right now When it hurts I don’t bow I just breathe, then Turn that pain to sound Life go up Life go down But I rise up Every time I hit the ground (rise up) [Bridge] If you feel that weight On your chest, don’t hide Every fall that you take Put strength inside Every “why me?” Turns to “try me” loud We are made in the middle Of the crash and the crowd (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] Life go up Life go down One day king Next day ground I been lost I been found Still I ride these Highs and lows right now When it hurts I don’t bow I just breathe, then Turn that pain to sound Life go up Life go down But we rise up Every time we hit the ground (we rise)

rap, Boom-bap drums with warm vinyl crackle, soulful chopped sample, male vocals locked to a head-nod pocket. Verses conversational but rhythmically tight; hook explodes with stacked chant-style doubles and a simple sing-rap melody. Subby bass glues the groove, subtle piano stabs in the second verse, final chorus lifts with extra harmonies and ad-libs.
