[Verse] Under dim lights, church basement chill, Heart’s racing fast but I’m standing still, Mic in my hand, crowd’s breathin’ slow, Rookie on the rise but they don’t know. Sweat drips low, palms feelin’ tight, Words in my head but can’t find the flight, Deep breath in, I lock my gaze, Fight the shadows, break out the maze. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers bounce off these old stone walls, Quiet echoes of my own calls, But I’m ready now, no turning back, Lighting fires on this beaten track. [Chorus] From the basement to the sky, I’m risin’ up, no more shy, Fear’s a ghost I left behind, I’m the voice they gon’ find. From the shadows I ignite, Man, I’m ready for this fight, Church floors beneath my stride, Rookie MC on the rise. [Verse] Crowd’s gettin' loud, pulse in my chest, Words drip tough, no time to rest, Every line punches, every rhyme hits, Stage fright fades, confidence fits. Eyes locked tight, flow in my veins, Breaking chains from all these pains, Basement echoes, now they scream, I’m owning night like a midnight dream. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers bounce off these old stone walls, Quiet echoes of my own calls, But I’m ready now, no turning back, Lighting fires on this beaten track. [Chorus] From the basement to the sky, I’m risin’ up, no more shy, Fear’s a ghost I left behind, I’m the voice they gon’ find. From the shadows I ignite, Man, I’m ready for this fight, Church floors beneath my stride, Rookie MC on the rise. [Bridge] Late night thoughts, heavy and real, Silent battles, the way I feel, Every stumble’s just my climb, Turn my fear into rhyme. Sweat and courage, mix and blend, Grind and hustle ‘til the end, This kid’s story’s just begun, In these verses, I become. [Chorus] From the basement to the sky, I’m risin’ up, no more shy, Fear’s a ghost I left behind, I’m the voice they gon’ find. From the shadows I ignite, Man, I’m ready for this fight, Church floors beneath my stride, Rookie MC on the rise. [Outro] Rookie MC, watch me climb, Turn the dark into my prime, Church basement echoes fade, I’m the voice they never played.
