Lyrics
[Intro - cinematic keys, deep 808 rumble, airy ad-libs, cold late-night energy]
Yeah
Uh
2026, we back in the mix
Skrrt
[Verse 1 - melodic trap flow, rolling hi-hats, sub-bass slides, slick auto-tune]
I came from the rain, now my chain got a glow to it
Heart full of pain, but I turned it to a whole movement
Used to count dreams in the dark, now the floor lit
Had to learn quick, every loss was a lesson I grew with
Mama said, “Boy, keep your head where the bread at”
I was outside with the wolves, had to fend that
Now the same ones that was sleepin’ want a handout
I don’t do the fake love, I can spot it when it stand out
Pockets gettin’ heavy, had to switch up the denim
New whip, same scars, but I’m different when I’m in ‘em
Diamonds hit harder when you know what I been through
From the back block nights to the views with the venue
[Pre-Chorus - rising melody, layered harmonies, tension building, open hats]
I been on the edge, but I never let it break me
Took a lot of shots, still the world couldn’t shake me
Now the bass hit low and the whole room tremble
If you know my name, then you know I’m a symbol
[Chorus - huge anthemic hook, booming 808s, punchy drums, stacked vocals]
I’m in my mode, no sleep, no fold
Came from the cold, now my neck look froze
New money talk, but my soul stay gold
I been through hell, still I rose, I rose
I’m in my mode, watch me run that race
Big step now, got a grin on my face
Whole team up when I walk in place
2026, yeah, we break that space
[Verse 2 - darker melody, sharper snare, trap bounce, confident vocal runs]
They want the old me, but I buried that version
Too many nights I was hurt, had to turn it to earnings
Now the pressure don’t fold me, it just sharpen the focus
Every doubt in the room get erased when I notice
I been movin’ like the money got a pulse now
Every move calculated, I’m a boss now
If it ain’t about growth, then it don’t get my time
I was lost in the noise, now I’m back with the shine
Heard they talk from the side, but they don’t know the climb
I was carryin’ the weight while they stood on the line
Now the city got a wave and my name in the tide
I don’t chase what I want, I just let it arrive
[Bridge - stripped back, moody pads, half-time drums, emotional vocal layering]
If I fall, I get up with the scars on me
If I bleed, I turn pain into art for me
Every night made a king out the pressure
Now I breathe in the smoke and I move like forever
[Chorus - explosive repeat, fuller drums, extra harmonies, ad-lib energy]
I’m in my mode, no sleep, no fold
Came from the cold, now my neck look froze
New money talk, but my soul stay gold
I been through hell, still I rose, I rose
I’m in my mode, watch me run that race
Big step now, got a grin on my face
Whole team up when I walk in place
2026, yeah, we break that space
[Outro - fading 808, echoing ad-libs, cinematic keys]
Yeah
Still I rose
2026
