Rubble and Rise

Verse 1

They counted me out before the bell ever rang

Told me my name was a whisper that never would hang

I carved through the static with calluses on my tongue

Every doubt that they flung just another verse I've outrun

Shadows kept circling but I never blinked twice

Turned their cold predictions into fuel for the ice

Built my backbone on the nights nobody would stay

Now I'm awake while they're still dreaming of yesterday

Pre-Chorus

Head down hands up this won't break me

Back against the wall but I still make me

Watch me pull a phoenix from the ash of their lies

Ten toes sinking deep while their whole world just dries

Chorus

I'm standing ten toes on the rubble of my doubt

Let the storm come through I'm the one who'll take it out

They can scream they can spit but I'm already gone

Every body blow just made me twice as strong

Verse 2

Flashbacks of the gravel where my sneakers learned to bleed

Every cheap shot landed taught my spirit how to lead

They mocked the way I stuttered now they choke on my speed

Every syllable's a soldier marching out from the seed

I rewrote the ending they handed me in pen

Tore apart their blueprint and I built it back again

Higher than the hate hallelujah to the grind

Never see me fall cause I already learned to climb

Pre-Chorus

Head down hands up this won't break me

Back against the wall but I still make me

Watch me pull a phoenix from the ash of their lies

Ten toes sinking deep while their whole world just dries

Chorus

I'm standing ten toes on the rubble of my doubt

Let the storm come through I'm the one who'll take it out

They can scream they can spit but I'm already gone

Every body blow just made me twice as strong

Bridge

Rise rise rise from the wreckage of the noise

Rise rise rise past the echo of their voice

Rise rise rise watch the crown fall where I stand

Ten toes ten toes ten toes where I land

Chorus

I'm standing ten toes on the rubble of my doubt

Let the storm come through I'm the one who'll take it out

They can scream they can spit but I'm already gone

Every body blow just made me twice as strong

Outro

Made me twice as strong

Made me twice as strong

Twice as strong
