Crawled out the dirt, yeah, I rose from the mess
Turned all my losses to lessons, no time to rest
Was broke and broken, pain wrote my every line
But I kept dreamin’ daily like the stars would align
Tears hit the page, soul heavy like stone
Used to write just to feel I wasn’t alone
Now I breathe in hope where the silence used to stay
Still wear the past, but I’m walking my own way
Is this real peace? This calm? Feels surreal
Still ask myself how I made it through the steel
This path I walk—I carved it with will
Made a promise in the dark, and I’m climbing still
From the bottom mud, I rise and see the light
Running with no brakes, chasing what feels right
From the swamp of pain, I see a wider view
At the edge of life, I got nothing to lose
Music was therapy, healed my bruised skin
Erased the noise, let real joy in
That’s why I rhyme, why I never quit
I rewrite my pain, bit by bit
Anxiety whispered, future looked gray
Heart pounding hard, barely made it each day
Back then love was a dream I couldn’t afford
Time was breath—I wrote till my spirit soared
But I stayed locked in, my vision was clear
Now I find truth in each chord I hear
They asked, "Why you always fightin’ so hard?"
‘Cause I carry fire, and it lights the dark
Still got a long road, but I keep on steppin’
Each scar a medal, each fall a lesson
Climbin’ nonstop, through the noise and fear
The past can’t hold me, the future is near
I’ve danced with demons, sang through pain
Learned how to smile in the middle of rain
On these beats I bleed, with venom and grace
From life’s harsh truths, I built my place
From the bottom mud, I rise and see the light
Running with no brakes, chasing what feels right
From the swamp of pain, I see a wider view
At the edge of life, I got nothing to lose
Risin’ again from the sewer and grime
Shaped my dreams with struggle and time
I live on, build what I see in my mind
Higher and higher
Crawled out the dirt, yeah, I rose from the mess
Turned all my losses to lessons, no time to rest
Was broke and broken, pain wrote my every line
But I kept dreamin’ daily like the stars would align
Tears hit the page, soul heavy like stone
Used to write just to feel I wasn’t alone
Now I breathe in hope where the silence used to stay
