[Verse 1]
Four walls closing in, breathing heavy in the dark
Every scar on my skin leaves a permanent mark
They said time heals all, but the poison just spreads
Living out the nightmares playing loud in my head
Grew up on these cold New Jersey streets at night
Shadows stretching long, fighting every single fight
Told to keep my head down, keep my mouth shut tight
Now the silence is breaking and I'm ready to bite
[Chorus]
Rage in my chest, yeah, I'm burning it down
No more running away, I am taking the crown
From the ash of the pain, hear the heavy bass drop
I've been pushed to the edge and I'm never gonna stop
Yeah, I'm screaming my truth through the static and rain
This is life, this is war, this is blood, this is pain
[Verse 2]
Every betrayal is a nail in the frame
Look me in the eyes, say you don't know my name
I bled for this vision, I starved for this bread
While you slept on the potential spinning round in my head
They tried to bury me deep, but they didn't know
I was a seed in the winter waiting for the sun to grow
Now the soil is cracking and I'm bursting through
Everything they said I couldn't do, yeah, I do
[Chorus]
Rage in my chest, yeah, I'm burning it down
No more running away, I am taking the crown
From the ash of the pain, hear the heavy bass drop
I've been pushed to the edge and I'm never gonna stop
Yeah, I'm screaming my truth through the static and rain
This is life, this is war, this is blood, this is pain
[Bridge]
(Beat drops out, heavy cinematic strings build up)
Can you hear the screams echoing through the dark?
(Deep 808 sub-bass slams back in)
I survived the fire, now I am the spark!
[Chorus]
Rage in my chest, yeah, I'm burning it down
No more running away, I am taking the crown
From the ash of the pain, hear the heavy bass drop
I've been pushed to the edge and I'm never gonna stop
Yeah, I'm screaming my truth through the static and rain
This is life, this is war, this is blood, this is pain
[Outro]
Yeah
New Jersey underground
From the pain
We rise.
