[INTRO] [whisper-rap → growl]
[Beat starts with filtered guitars with ticking build]
[Whispers:]
I’ve been quiet for too long…
Held back… head down…
But pressure makes a bomb—
And I’m ’bout to go off now…
---
[VERSE 1] [rap with bounce]
You wanna talk big?
I’ve been livin’ with the small talk,
Every little word been
Diggin’ into me like a sawed-off.
Sick of bein’ stepped on,
Sick of bein’ locked in,
Sick of all the doubts
People dropped in my coffin.
Kicked in the ribs but I rise,
Heat in my chest and it fries,
Storm in my head— I ignite,
Now watch me open my eyes.
---
[PRE-CHORUS] [tight & rhythmic]
I’m done playin’ nice,
I’m done bein’ tamed,
You lit the fuse—
Now I’m burstin’ out the frame!
---
[CHORUS] [anthemic, shouted, unforgettable]
From zero to rage — I ignite like a flame,
You can put me in a cage but you can’t kill the name,
I rise, I rise — watch me flippin’ the stage,
Yeah I break, I break — go from zero to rage!
---
[DROP] [EDM × metal hybrid]
[Heavy guitars]
[Distorted bass]
[Vocal chop:] “Zero… to… rage!”
[Kick-drum stomp moment for the crowd]
---
[VERSE 2] [harder rap, more attitude]
They wanna hold me back?
Too late— momentum’s real now.
Every scar I’ve earned
Is somethin’ I refuse to kneel down.
You cannot intimidate
A beast that you created,
I took your hate and
Turned it into something detonated.
Now I’m a wildfire,
Sparks on a live wire,
I’m the match, I’m the gas,
I’m the whole damn amplifier.
---
[PRE-CHORUS] [bigger]
I’m done playin’ nice,
I’m done bein’ tamed,
You lit the fuse—
Now I’m burstin’ out the frame!
---
[CHORUS]
From zero to rage — I ignite like a flame,
You can put me in a cage but you can’t kill the name,
I rise, I rise — watch me flippin’ the stage,
Yeah I break, I break — go from zero to rage!
---
[BRIDGE] [Linkin Park emotional moment → scream]
Melodic male vocal layer:
I’ve been chained too long…
But I still hold on…
Now the fear is gone…
I’m finally breathing…
[Then SCREAM:]
SO GET OUTTA MY WAY!
---
[FINAL CHORUS] [overlapped with screams]
From zero to rage — I ignite like a flame,
(LET IT BURN, LET IT BURN!)
You can put me in a cage but you can’t kill the name,
(NEVER STOP, NEVER STOP!)
I rise, I rise — watch me flippin’ the stage,
Yeah I break, I break — go from zero to rage!
---
[OUTRO] [whispered]
And I won’t ever go back…
Zero… to… rage.
