[Intro] *(Instrumental build with heavy bass, sharp piano stabs, and tense strings)* [Verse 1] Clock’s tickin’, heart’s kickin’ against my ribs again, Pressure’s thick, I’m spittin’ flames like a lit match in the wind. Fists clenched, no quit, I’m locked in the grind, Every word’s a bullet, aim straight for the blind. They said, ā€œStay down,ā€ but I’m breakin’ the chains, Pain’s just fuel, I’m revvin’ my brain in the fast lane. Eyes red, no rest, I’m haunted by the ghost, Beneath the rage, there’s a kid who just needed hope. [Chorus] Rise through the fire, ash to the empire, Scars on my back, but I’m climbin’ higher. Voice like a weapon, truth in the friction, NF’s in the b***d—call me a contradiction. Rise through the fire, no liar, no quitter, If the world’s a storm, then I’m the lightning splitter. [Verse 2] Nightmares dance in the cracks of my sanity, Chasin’ dreams but they sprint like they’re vandalizin’ me. Sweat drips, script flips, I’m racin’ the clock, Heart’s a drumline, every b**t’s a shock. They wanna box me in, label me ā€œbroken,ā€ But I’m the unspoken vow, the token of devotion. Clawed my way up, palms bleed from the gravel, Every step’s a w*r cry, unravel the travel. [Bridge] Faster now, the past is screamin’ in my rearview, Tear through the static, I’m clear-cut, no fear too. Baptized in the struggle, no puddle, I’m drownin’ in truth, If I fall, let the ground shake—proof I’m bulletproof. [Chorus] Rise through the fire, ash to the empire, Scars on my back, but I’m climbin’ higher. Voice like a weapon, truth in the friction, NF’s in the b***d—call me a contradiction. [Outro] *(Instrumental fades with echoed vocals, lingering bass, and distant piano notes)*
