REBIRTH

[Intro]
The pain couldn’t kill me, the hate didn’t win
I wear my sins like armor, let the war begin

[Verse 1]
I hear the night whisper, secrets in my ear
Echoes of a time when I drowned in ma fuckin‘ fear
Streetlights flicker, the pavement burns
Every step’s a battle, every corner turns
(In a fuckin‘ turns, yeah)
They tried to break me, but I stood like a soldier
Scars on my soul made me wiser, not colder
Brothers fell like leaves in the fall
I swore to rise again, to answer their call
From the block where dreams go up in smoke
Where hope dies slow, and the devil’s got jokes
Mama crying in the kitchen, praying for a sign
While I’m gripping on my mission, walking the thin line
They gave me nothing but chains and despair
So I forged my own crown from the pain I wear
Enemies plotting, but I’m three steps ahead
Life taught me how to move like the living dead

[Chorus]
Back from the ashes, through fire and storm
My spirit unbroken, my heart stays warm
They counted me out, but I’m here to thrive
Back from the ashes, I’m more than alive
Back from the ashes, through fire and storm
My spirit unbroken, my heart stays warm
They counted me out, but I’m here to thrive
Back from the ashes, I’m more than alive

[Verse 2]
I see through the lies, no love in their eyes
Fake smiles fade when the real ones rise
So I carry the flame for those we lost in the fight
Back from the ashes, I was born for the night
I take the cross on ma own
Don’t pimp me on ma throne
You’re motherfucker don’t call me
On ma fuckin‘ Phone
They said it’s over, but they didn’t know my fight
I’ve danced with the darkness, now I run toward the light
I’ve been bruised, betrayed, but never erased
Every cut on my skin is a memory I’ve faced
The hood’s a cage, but I never hit the stage
Writing my story on life’s burning page
Lost homies in the wind, I still hear their cries
Their dreams live in me, so I rise and rise
I walked through hell with a target on my chest
Dodging hate, dodging bullets, they can’t take my breath

[Chorus]
Back from the ashes, through fire and storm
My spirit unbroken, my heart stays warm
They counted me out, but I’m here to thrive
Back from the ashes, I’m more than alive
Back from the ashes, through fire and storm
My spirit unbroken, my heart stays warm
They counted me out, but I’m here to thrive
Back from the ashes, I’m more than alive
