[Trap Soul]
[Hook – Melodic / Soulful]
I’ve been through the fire, but I still chose to rise
Had nights I cried in silence, but the tears kept me alive
They see the smile now, but don’t know what’s behind
I ain’t make it out the storm —
I became the sky.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Reflective]
I used to pray just to feel something
Lost in my head, tryna heal from it
Carried pain like a chain I was still runnin’
Every hug felt fake, every “you good?” was frontin’
But I held on, barely — breathin’ with a heavy chest
Heart full of questions, faith put to every test
Lookin’ in the mirror like, “Man, what’s left?”
But even at my lowest — I never second-guessed
‘Cause something in me said:
“This ain’t the end of your story”
You broke, but you’re building
This pain gon’ be glory
⸻
[Hook – Repeat]
I’ve been through the fire, but I still chose to rise
Had nights I cried in silence, but the tears kept me alive
They see the smile now, but don’t know what’s behind
I ain’t make it out the storm —
I became the sky.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Uplifting with Grit]
Now I speak for the ones who feel stuck in place
Wipe ya tears, lil bro — there’s still somethin’ great
They count you out ’cause they fear what you could create
They can’t box what’s built from fate
I ain’t perfect, I ain’t polished — I’m still chipped
Still got scars, still stiff when the weather shift
But I’m here. I’m breathing. That’s the gift.
And every loss I took — made me like this.
So if you down bad, stuck, or misunderstood
Let this song remind you —
You’re still here, you’re still good.
⸻
[Bridge – Sung / Light Harmonies]
I was broken, but I built
I was quiet, but I still
Found a voice in all this noise
Turned my wounds into a shield
⸻
[Final Hook]
I’ve been through the fire, but I still chose to rise
Had nights I cried in silence, but the tears kept me alive
They see the shine now, but don’t know what it cost
I ain’t make it out the storm —
I became the sky.
