🎹 [Intro – Spoken Word, low piano pads, calm voice]
(beat fades in)
Started with nothing... but fire inside
HK taught me survival...
Benue to Lagos to Ghana...
(Pause)
Purpose found me
(PHR1ME!)
[Drop beat – 1 bar pause]
============================
🎤 [Verse 1 – Confident, but grounded tone]
Straight from Benue, I came for the grind (uh)
No backup, just strength and a stubborn mind (yeah)
Mopped floors, cleaned rides, stayed on time (facts)
But I knew one day, the stars would align (real talk)
In Lagos, dreams feel far
Still I aimed for designer and luxury car (vvs)
Told myself I deserve much more
So I switched flight, and opened new doors (let's go)
============================
🎶 [Hook – Melodic rap + chant echo background vocals]
From the bottom to House of Knowledge (HK!)
Life hard, but I passed the college (I passed it)
Scars deep, but I carry courage (carry it)
Now I chase purpose, not the garbage (nah!)
(Back-up echo: "Not the garbage...")
Work late, learn fast (let's work)
No breaks, still last (still!)
Grit strong, built to last (we solid!)
(HK for life!) (HK!)
============================
🎤 [Verse 2 – Smoother tone, flow bounce + a little pain in voice]
Landed in Tema, Ghana side (Tema!)
Chairman gave me work, no place to hide (true)
Last boy, doing more than most (most)
Wash, clean, build — but I stayed close
Learned code, chat, design and push (push!)
Kept my head low, moved with hush (lowkey)
Wasn’t easy, but I stayed on track (never derailed)
Focused on vision, never looked back (never!)
============================
🎵 [Bridge – Reflective tone, slow beat with pads]
Six months locked in, no street light (in the dark)
Still worked all day, all night (nonstop)
When it broke me, I made the call (I called home)
My homies raised me — I didn’t fall (nah!)
(Adlib: “They lifted me...”)
============================
🎤 [Verse 3 – Victory energy, mix of grit & gratitude]
Came back home with clearer eyes (yeah)
No more games, I strategize (facts)
Now I build and monetize (build it up)
Turn my lows to something high (to the sky)
Benue to Lagos to Ghana grind (let 'em know)
Now I’m moving with purpose in mind
This is more than a come-up song
It’s my truth — I’ve been strong all along (PHR1ME!)
============================
🎶 [Final Hook – Melodic, layered vocal harmony + fade-out synths]
From the bottom to House of Knowledge (HK!)
Life hard, but I passed the college (let's go!)
Scars deep, but I carry courage (carry that)
Now I chase purpose, not the garbage
(HK for life...)
(PHR1ME still rising...)
