From

From the Ground Up" [Intro – Instrumental 🎸] (Soft electric guitar, slow drums building, emotional vibe) (No lyrics, just melody… rising…) [Verse 1] I was just a kid with a ball in my hand Broken shoes, dreams nobody understand Court was cracked, lights barely alive But I kept on playing like I had to survive Mama said, “boy, don’t you ever give in” Even when you're tired, even when you don’t win I fell so many times on that dusty ground But every single loss made a stronger sound [Pre-Chorus] They didn’t see me late nights in the rain Dribbling through the hurt, fighting through the pain [Chorus] Now I’m rising up, feel it in my soul From the streets to the lights, yeah I’m in control Every scar, every bruise made me who I am Now I’m flying high, yeah I took that chance From the ground up, now I touch the sky They said I’d never make it, now they wonder why I kept pushing through every fall and doubt Now the whole world hears when my name gets loud [Interlude – Instrumental 🎸🥁] (Guitar riff + drums, more energetic, no lyrics) [Verse 2 – Rap Style] Yeah, no coach, no team, just me and the grind No shortcuts taken, I was chasing my time People laughed, said I’d never be great Now I’m breaking every limit, every wall, every gate Late nights, no sleep, just sweat and tears Faced my doubts, faced my fears Now I’m standing tall, yeah I made it through Every shot I missed made me bulletproof [Pre-Chorus] Now they see me shining in the game I chose But they don’t know the story, they don’t know my road [Chorus] Now I’m rising up, feel it in my soul From the streets to the lights, yeah I’m in control Every scar, every bruise made me who I am Now I’m flying high, yeah I took that chance From the ground up, now I touch the sky They said I’d never make it, now they wonder why I kept pushing through every fall and doubt Now the whole world hears when my name gets loud [Bridge – Soft / Emotional] I remember nights I almost quit Heart so heavy, couldn’t handle it But something
