Lyrics
V1
I grew up in the quiet no one else would claim.
Cold floors and empty cupboards taught me my name.
I learned early that safety was never the same.
Sometimes the world forgets you but you rise all the same.
V2
I walked through nights where the shadows felt alive.
Learned to trust my pulse more than any guide.
Each empty space was just a place I had to hide.
Silence became the teacher I never chose but defied.
Pre1
What do you become when the world never lends you a hand
Where do you turn when all you’ve got is the will to stand
Chorus
I was born with nothing, just an instinct to stay alive.
I was shaped by hunger, learned to bend but not comply.
Every scar was a lesson, turned my fear around to rise.
When pain becomes your teacher, you learn how to get by.
If survival is a promise, then I’ll damn sure stay alive.
V3
I made my peace with the quiet that cut like a knife.
No mentors. No map. Just the edges of life.
You either break from the weight or sharpen in strife.
I learned that grit is the cost of a future made right.
V4
I walked past doors that never opened for me.
Raised myself on places I had to flee.
When you’ve got no anchor you learn to be free.
I found strength in the parts no one else could see.
V5
I stitched my hope from moments thin as thread.
Turned my fear to fuel when the nights went red.
Hunger carved the truths no sermon ever said.
Sometimes the broken pavement is where you get led.
Pre2
What kind of fire grows when the world keeps saying no
Who do you become when you refuse to let go
Chorus
I was born with nothing, just an instinct to stay alive.
I was shaped by hunger, learned to bend but not comply.
Every scar was a lesson, turned my fear around to rise.
When pain becomes your teacher, you learn how to get by.
If survival is a promise, then I’ll damn sure stay alive.
V6
I carried the weight of a thousand quiet nights.
Made my own truth from a handful of fights.
Every setback shined its hard little lights.
Some souls grow sharper in the absence of rights.
V7
I taught myself courage in the dark of my mind.
No footsteps behind me. No voice of a kind.
When you’ve got no mirrors you search till you find.
A way to keep moving without falling behind.
V8
I walked long miles with a heart made lean.
Learned to read the world in the spaces between.
Pain taught me things no comfort has seen.
Strength isn’t gentle. It’s carved. It’s unclean.
Pre3
How do you heal when the past keeps holding the knife
Where do you run when running becomes your life
Chorus
I was born with nothing, just an instinct to stay alive.
I was shaped by hunger, learned to bend but not comply.
Every scar was a lesson, turned my fear around to rise.
When pain becomes your teacher, you learn how to get by.
If survival is a promise, then I’ll damn sure stay alive.
V9
I learned to trust the fire that sparked inside.
Courage came slow but it never lied.
Every wound I carried was a shift in the tide.
You grow beyond gravity when something inside decides.
V10
I kept walking roads that never led straight.
Pushed through storms that whispered my fate.
When the world shuts you out you learn how to create.
A way to keep breathing no matter the weight.
Pre4
What do you build when the world gave you no start
How do you grow roots without the soil of a heart
Chorus
I was born with nothing, just an instinct to stay alive.
I was shaped by hunger, learned to bend but not comply.
Every scar was a lesson, turned my fear around to rise.
When pain becomes your teacher, you learn how to get by.
If survival is a promise, then I’ll damn sure stay alive.
V11
I faced the parts of me I feared the most.
Held on tight when I was fading from my post.
Raised myself from ashes without any boast.
Some victories you only share with the ghosts.
V12
I learned to make peace with the hard-earned scars.
Followed broken roads that led past the stars.
You can build your life from discarded parts.
If you carry the fire that stubbornly starts.
Pre5
What does it mean to rise when you came from the cold
How do you keep fighting when the world already told you to fold
Chorus
I was born with nothing, just an instinct to stay alive.
I was shaped by hunger, learned to bend but not comply.
Every scar was a lesson, turned my fear around to rise.
When pain becomes your teacher, you learn how to get by.
If survival is a promise, then I’ll damn sure stay alive.
V13
Now I stand on the ground that once shook my bones.
Turned my silence to thunder in the breaking tones.
Built a life from the pieces nobody owns.
Born with nothing but I forged my own throne.
Bridge
If the road won’t bend, then you bend your mind.
If the hurt runs deep, you stay aligned.
Every wound becomes the grit you find.
In the dark that shaped you when the world was unkind.
Outro
Born with nothing but a stubborn spark.
Raised on silence, trained by dark.
Still I rise, still I leave a mark.
Some souls burn brighter when the world is stark.
