[Verse]
Born in the chaos, fire kissed the dawn,
Liberian nights, bullets for a song.
Childhood stripped, innocence torn,
Still stood tall, though the world was worn.
[Verse 2]
Beat cancer's drum, stared down the beast,
Blood tests my gospel, pain my priest.
Machines hummed life, tethered by a cord,
Dialysis whispers, the silence roared.
[Chorus]
Survival to significance, scars tell the tale,
Through the darkest tunnels, I blazed my trail.
Every breath a victory, every step a fight,
Turned my pain to power, now I shine bright.
[Verse 3]
Eleven years chained, yet I stayed alive,
Dripped hope in my veins, the will to thrive.
Kidneys failed, but my spirit wouldn’t,
Wrote my own story when the odds said I shouldn’t.
[Bridge]
From war to wires, from sickness to sound,
The weight of the world tried to pin me down.
But my soul's a phoenix, ashes my bed,
From survival’s womb, significance bred.
[Verse 4]
Now I’m the echo of dreams deferred,
The voice of the voiceless, my weapon, my word.
Resilience my armor, hope my blade,
In a world of shadows, I carved my shade.
