Lyrics

I want it more than you
I was born in the ashes baptized by the pain
Came back from the coma rewired my brain
They said I'd never walk never talk—guess again
Now I'm sprintin' past limits like I've never been
From the wreck to the rehab I rebuilt the fire
Every scar's a reminder that I climbed through the wire
Addiction tried to chain me but I broke that grip
Now I'm sharper than the steel in a samurai's grip
They said I wouldn't make it—bet they're eatin' their words
I put my life in these verses every bar's absurd
How many nights did I cry just to see this through?
The rent's due so I grind like there's nothin' to lose
How bad do you want it? Blood sweat and the scars
Every step that I've taken's been written in the stars
How bad do you need it? When your back's against the wall
Rise up from the wreckage—gotta give it your all
I've been to hell and back yeah I carry the proof
Every demon I slayed is a part of the truth
Taught myself how to speak had to crawl just to stand
Built a castle from the rubble with my bare-ass hands
Every verse is a weapon I'm a lyrical king
I spit the kind of fire that makes the angels sing
Don't talk about grind unless you lived in the dirt
Unless you felt your soul break and rebuilt the hurt
I'm the phoenix out the flames the storm in the calm
The voice for the voiceless the bomb in the psalm
You don't know the hunger 'til you've starved for this
Got my name in the clouds and my heart in the abyss
How bad do you want it? Blood sweat and the scars
Every step that I've taken's been written in the stars
How bad do you need it? When your back's against the wall
Rise up from the wreckage—gotta give it your all
I've been broken I've been bruised
Felt like life gave me nothin' to lose
But the fire inside it never went cold
Now I'm standin' here stronger than gold
How many nights did I pray to make it out alive?
How many scars on my soul just to feel this high?
They say pressure makes diamonds—then I'm the crown
Every battle I fought kept me holdin' it down
From the hospital bed to the mic in my hand
I turned curses into verses made the world understand
You can't break what's unshaken I'm the voice of the lost
I paid the ultimate price just to cover the cost
So when I step to the stage you gon' feel my pain
You gon' hear every struggle in the depth of my name
The rent's due so I grind 'til there's nothin' left
Every breath's for the dream I don't care about rest
