Here's an extended version with a chorus:
Verse 1:
Listen close, let me share my tale,
'Bout struggles real, and lessons frail,
Money came and went, like the wind and rain,
Left me broke, with heartbreak and pain.
Family's where I found my strength,
But daddy's absence cut like a length,
Thoughts of him still linger in my mind,
Wondering why he left, left me to unwind.
Chorus:
I'm rising up, from the ashes born,
Making moves, leaving the past forlorn,
I'm chasing my dreams, with every step,
Gonna make it happen, won't forget.
Verse 2:
Heartbreak hit, like a hurricane force,
Love turned to dust, left me with no choice,
But to rise up, and face the grind,
Make that dough, leave the heartache behind.
Now I'm focused on my goals,
Ain't no one gonna stop my soul,
I'll make my family proud, that's my aim,
Daddy may be gone, but his legacy remains.
Chorus:
I'm rising up, from the ashes born,
Making moves, leaving the past forlorn,
I'm chasing my dreams, with every step,
Gonna make it happen, won't forget.
Bridge:
Life's a journey, with ups and downs,
But I won't let the struggles wear my crown,
I'll keep pushing forward, through the night,
For my future, for my family's light.
Chorus:
I'm rising up, from the ashes born,
Making moves, leaving the past forlorn,
I'm chasing my dreams, with every step,
Gonna make it happen, won't forget.
Outro:
Now I'm standing tall, with my head held high,
Ain't nobody bringing me down, I'm flying high,
Money, heartbreak, family, and pain,
Shaped me into the person I am today, and I'm still growing, still slaying.
How's that? Want any further changes?
