Rise Then Break

[Verse 1]
I woke up heavy, but I got up
Cold floor, clean face, no luck
Empty pockets, full of doubt
Still I stood when they tuned me out
New pair shoes on a cracked tile
Same old room, but a new first mile
I don't need perfect, I need motion
One small step turns into oceans
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, breathe in slow
If you feel lost, don't let it show
When it shakes, stay locked, stay lit
One more push, that's how you get it
[Chorus]
Rise, then break
Rise, then break
Say my name
I'm built for this pain
Rise, then break
Rise, then break
I won't fold
I came to change
[Verse 2]
Mom said, son, keep that spine straight
Even when the whole room act fake
I seen tears on a Monday bench
Turn to fuel when the doubt got sent
Little wins stacking like gold teeth
Every scar got a story underneath
I was broke, but I still had pride
Had to learn how to fight from inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, breathe in slow
If you feel lost, don't let it show
When it shakes, stay locked, stay lit
One more push, that's how you get it
[Chorus]
Rise, then break
Rise, then break
Say my name
I'm built for this pain
Rise, then break
Rise, then break
I won't fold
I came to change
[Bridge]
When the walls lean in, I lean back
When the world says quit, I say facts
I was made in the hard, in the heat
Now I step to the edge and repeat
[Chorus]
Rise, then break
Rise, then break
Say my name
I'm built for this pain
Rise, then break
Rise, then break
I won't fold
I came to change

Rap with dubstep-leaning halftime drops and chest-rattling sub movement; verse rides tight drums and a sparse synth pulse, pre-chorus widens with rising tension and stacked chants, chorus hits in half-time with distorted bass stabs and gang ad-libs. Vocal is close-mic, confident, with doubled hook lines, pitch-bent ad-libs, and delay throws on key words. Ear candy: filtered risers into each drop, reverse swells before the chorus, metallic glitches between bars. Mix is dark, bright, and punchy with huge low-end impact., dubstep, rap
