Lyrics

Yo, I was spiraling down, vertigo in my soul
Chasing hollow victories, digging my own hole
Ego inflated like a balloon in the parade
Till it popped on the pavement, left me disarrayed
Lost in the bottle, swallowed by the haze
Days blurred into nights in this self-made maze
Friends became phantoms, family faded from view
Truth hit harder than any punch I ever threw
But in the rubble, I found the blueprint for rebirth
Lessons etched in scars, the most valuable worth
Had to hit rock bottom, feel the cold embrace
To appreciate the climb, to fight for my own space
Syllables spinning like Coltrane on the sax
Articulating pain, turning wounds into facts
No more illusions, stripped down to the core
Rebuilt my foundation, stronger than before
I had to fall down to get up again
Stumble through the darkness, find the light within
Every tear, every fear, every loss that I knew
Was the fuel for the fire, now I'm breaking through
Had to fall down, oh, to rise up tall
Had to lose it all to have it all
Now the beat swings with that jazz-infused groove
Upright bass thumping while the drums make that move
I'm crafting bars intricate, precise as a surgeon's blade
Wordplay surgical, dissecting the charade
From the ashes of failure, phoenix with the pen
Spitting wisdom garnered from the lion's den
Intelligent discourse in the cypher of the mind
Connecting dots from the fall to the grand design
No longer defined by the times I slipped and fell
But by the resilience that rang like a freedom bell
Turn my lowest moments into motivational tales
Sailing through the storm with the wind in my sails
Hip-hop heart with a jazz philosopher's soul
Blending the old school with the new control
Articulate the journey, no sugarcoat or gloss
Honest in my verses, counting every cost
I had to fall down to get up again
Stumble through the darkness, find the light within
Every tear, every fear, every loss that I knew
Was the fuel for the fire, now I'm breaking through
Had to fall down, oh, to rise up tall
Had to lose it all to have it all
They say what breaks you makes you, but first you gotta break
Shatter the old self for new paths to take
In the silence after the fall, I heard destiny call
Rose from the ruins, standing ten feet tall
I had to fall down to get up again
Stumble through the darkness, now I'm soaring, my friend
Every scar, every star, every lesson I knew
Turned my pain into power, watch me breaking through
Had to fall down, oh, yeah, to rise up tall
Had to lose it all, now I have it all
