Raised From The Rubble

[Intro]
Voice in my ear
Tellin’ me “rise”
Tears on my shirt
Fire in my eyes
[Verse 1]
Couch sleepin’
Floor creakin’, stomach loud
Hand-me-down hopes
Tryna blend in with the crowd
Mama in the kitchen
Prayin’ through the late shift
I was in the mirror like
“Why I gotta take this?”
Bills on the Bible
Page over Psalms
I ain’t understand it
Til the storm calmed
Had to walk through the rain
Just to feel that light
He ain’t take me out the war
He just taught me how to fight
[Chorus]
I came up from the rubble, but He raised me up
When my hands got weak, He raised ’em up (oh)
I was standin’ in the dark, then He blazed me up
Now the battle in my chest, He braced me up
Every scar on my body, He traced with love
Turned the weight on my back to a pair of gloves
Yeah I swing for my soul when the pain get tough
’Cause God in my corner, that’s more than enough (hey!)
[Verse 2]
I was this close
To lettin’ go the breath in me
Eyes to the ceiling like
“Why You keep blessin’ me?”
Oprah in the background
Talkin’ ‘bout the power in your name
I ain’t feel power
I just felt shame
But the voice in my heart said
“Stand back up”
“Every closed door
I’ma jam back up”
I was fightin’ my reflection
Feared my reflection
He flipped my rejection
Into redirection
Now the cuts on my knuckles
Look like crowns
I fall on my knees
When life knock me down
If the devil wanna dance
Then we dance all night
I ain’t swingin’ by myself
I’m swingin’ with Christ
[Chorus]
I came up from the rubble, but He raised me up
When my hands got weak, He raised ’em up (oh)
I was standin’ in the dark, then He blazed me up
Now the battle in my chest, He braced me up
Every scar on my body, He traced with love
Turned the weight on my back to a pair of gloves
Yeah I swing for my soul when the pain get tough
’Cause God in my corner, that’s more than enough
[Bridge]
From the gutter to the glow
That was grace, not luck
When my voice got low
His voice stood up
If you stuck in the struggle
Lift your eyes to the sky
He ain’t always stop the hurt
But He teach you how to fight
[Chorus]
I came up from the rubble, but He raised me up
When my hands got weak, He raised ’em up (yeah)
I was standin’ in the dark, then He blazed me up
Now the battle in my chest, He braced me up
Every scar on my body, He traced with love
Turned the weight on my back to a pair of gloves
Yeah I swing for my soul when the pain get tough
’Cause God in my corner, that’s more than enough

rap, Cinematic trap-rap with deep, sharp male vocals; slow rolling drums, weighty sub-bass, and airy choir pads. Oprah-style spoken-word interludes sampled low in the background, ducking under the verses. Hook opens with layered gospel harmonies and a bright piano motif, then drops into sparse, hard-hitting verses. Ad-libs soaked in short plate reverb, vocals upfront and gritty., deep
