[Intro ā Soft Spoken]
Yeahā¦
This isnāt just a song.
This is a life they tried to bury under the rubble.
But Iām still hereā¦
[Chorus ā Melodic, Emotional]
Iām not afraidā¦ to say Iām hurt,
To stand here bleeding covered in dirt.
You want me to forgive, you want me to be brave,
But you aināt seen the fire, you aināt walked through the graves.
I lost my world, my b***d, my faith in the light,
But Iām still breathing, still ready to f***t.
Iām not afraidā¦ no Iām not afraidā¦
To keep on living when my heartās in flames.
[Verse 1 ā Rap / Storytelling]
I was born where the bombs fall before the rain,
Where lullabies are screams and the skyās in pain.
Mama held me in her arms while the windows blew,
Papa whispered, āStay strong, thatās all we can do.ā
Iād wait outside the school just to see her face,
That girl with the brown eyes, light in a broken place.
Weād run to the sea, write dreams in the sand,
Pretend the world was quiet while we held hands.
But the w*r came back like it never left,
One blastā¦ and I was the only one left.
Lost my mother, my father, that girl by the shore,
Their names are the ghosts I carry in my core.
[Chorus ā Melodic]
Iām not afraidā¦ to say Iām hurt,
To stand here bleeding covered in dirt.
You want me to forgive, you want me to be brave,
But you aināt seen the fire, you aināt walked through the graves.
I lost my world, my b***d, my faith in the light,
But Iām still breathing, still ready to f***t.
Iām not afraidā¦ no Iām not afraidā¦
To keep on living when my heartās in flames.
[Verse 2 ā Rap / Pain to Power]
We lost our home, so I slept inside a tent,
Counting stars through a roof the rockets bent.
Every night I heard silence louder than cries,
Every morning was just another goodbye.
Then the ground shook ā hell opened its gate,
Rubble on my back, thought this was my fate.
Buried alive, choking on dust and fear,
No God, no angels, just darkness near.
But I clawed my way out with one eye gone,
Half of me buried but the other moved on.
I stitched my wounds, picked books over hate,
Studied every night while the world slept late.
Became a doctor so no child would feel
What itās like when your heart forgets how to heal.
Filmed my story so theyād know my name,
But they cheer my success ā never my pain.
[Chorus ā Stronger, Bigger]
Iām not afraidā¦ to say Iām hurt,
To stand here bleeding covered in dirt.
You want me to forgive, you want me to be brave,
But you aināt seen the fire, you aināt walked through the graves.
I lost my world, my b***d, my faith in the light,
But Iām still breathing, still ready to f***t.
Iām not afraidā¦ no Iām not afraidā¦
To keep on living when my heartās in flames.
[Bridge ā Spoken / Soft]
They expect me to smile, to be gentle, to be kindā¦
But how do you heal when the past still bleeds in your mind?
Still ā I stand here. Not fearless.
But because the ones I lost deserve someone fearless.
[Final Chorus ā Softer, Hopeful]
Iām not afraidā¦ to walk this road,
Even if I carry this heavy load.
I lost my faith
