[Verse 1]
Started from the bottom where the nights felt cold (so cold),
Dreams in my pocket, but my heart felt old (too old).
Fighting all the pain that the world done showed (world so cold),
Still I rise from the ashes like a story untold (I rise, I rise).
Mama’s prayers echo in the back of my head (hallelujah),
Papa’s words live on even though he’s dead (rest in peace).
I’m walking through the fire, every tear I bled (still standing),
Turned scars into armor, now my soul is fed (stronger now).
[Hook]
📖 Pages of my life (my life), written line by line (line by line),
Every fall, every climb, still I know I’ll shine (I’ll shine).
Carry all the weight, but I won’t break down (never break),
From the dirt, from the pain, I’ma take my crown (my crown).
[Verse 2]
Lost in the nights, but the mornings still came (still came),
People switched sides, but I stayed the same (I stayed true).
Voices in my head tried to drive me insane (drive me crazy),
But I fight through the storm, I’m the eye in the rain (in the rain).
I seen brothers fall, I seen sisters cry (tears fall),
I asked God "Why?" but got no reply (no reply).
Now I look in the mirror, I see hope inside (hope inside),
Can’t bury my spirit, I was born to rise (born to rise).
[Hook]
📖 Pages of my life (yeah), written line by line (line by line),
Every fall, every climb, still I know I’ll shine (still shining).
Carry all the weight, but I won’t break down (won’t break),
From the dirt, from the pain, I’ma take my crown (take it now).
[Bridge]
Every loss, every cross, made me who I be (who I be),
Turn my pain into power, now the world gon’ see (world gon’ see).
I ain’t done, I ain’t gone, this is destiny (destiny),
Uncle P in the booth, this my legacy (my legacy).
[Hook – Outro]
📖 Pages of my life (my life), written line by line (line by line),
Every fall, every climb, still I know I’ll shine (I’ll shine).
Carry all the weight, but I won’t break down (never break),
From the dirt, from the pain, I’ma take my crown (take my crown).
