[intro Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Tumbled down the stairs, crash-landing like a boulder
Leg snapped, pain colder than a bitch on my shoulder
Doc said, “Rest up,” fuck that, I’m a soldier
What don’t kill builds steel, now my grind’s much bolder
Morphine drip, but my mind still hostile
Cussin’ out the pain, every breath feels colossal
Scars on my body but my spirit won’t quit
Life swung a hammer, I swung back with a brick
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, fucked up bones, but I still walk tall
Can’t break a real one, I was born to brawl
Every scar is a medal, every limp is a crown
Try to bury me, bitch, I’ma rise from the ground
[Chorus]
Fell down stairs, now I rise
Broken leg, but the fire don’t die
What don’t kill me, sharpens my claws
Don’t get it twisted, I’m the Philly outlaw
[Verse 2]
Keep a 9 on standby, tucked in the nightstand
Family the backbone, tougher than a kickstand
Raised in the gutter where the angels don’t land
Blood on the curb, that’s the city’s brand
Fuck luck, I make moves in the dirt and the smoke
Catch me in the alley, blade sharp, gun spoke
Inner Philly raised me, streets carved my skin
I heal like Wolverine, bitch I’ll always win
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, pain’s just fuel, I sip it like gin
Every break in my bones just thickens my skin
Talk shit if you want, you ain’t built for the war
I’ve been bleeding on the steps, came back wanting more
[Chorus]
Fell down stairs, now I rise
Broken leg, but the fire don’t die
What don’t kill me, sharpens my claws
Don’t get it twisted, I’m the Philly outlaw
[Bridge]
Limp turned strut, now the swag full throttle
Pain turned power, sipping strength from the bottle
Motherfuckers throw shade, but my shine still colossal
Brick by brick, I’m the Philly apostle
[Verse 3]
Leg in a cast but my fists still swing
Cussin’ out the devil, let the church bells ring
Blood on my jeans, but the crown still mine
Try to drag me down, I’ll drag you through the grime
Fuck fate, I write scripts with my busted-ass pen
Every fall just a start, I’m reborn again
You can’t kill what’s cursed, can’t drown what’s raw
Philly outlaw forever, I’m the street’s last law
[Chorus]
Fell down stairs, now I rise
Broken leg, but the fire don’t die
What don’t kill me, sharpens my claws
Don’t get it twisted, I’m the Philly outlaw
[Outro]
Bitch I fell, but I crawled, now I walk with a snarl
Turn a fracture to a weapon, pain etched in my scars
Philly born, Philly bred, I don’t bow, I don’t crawl
Try to break me again, I’ll break your fucking jaw
Blood on the stairs, but I rose from the wreck
World bet against me, now I’m cashin’ the check
Can’t kill a motherfucker that was built in the war
Outlaw forever, carve my name in the floor
