[Intro]
(Dramatic staccato piano chords)
(Strings building intensity)
[Verse 1: Fast, rhythmic rap]
The pen is a blade and the page is the stage
I’m writing my way out of a systematic cage
A lyrical sage, flip the script, turn the page
While the rest of the world is just locked in a rage
I’m young, scrappy and hungry, I’m making my mark
A spark in the dark, lighting up the park!
[Chorus: Soaring, melodic R&B]
History is calling, can you hear the sound?
We’re building a kingdom on this hallowed ground
We don’t back down, we don’t take a knee
This is the legacy we leave for the free!
[Bridge: Ensemble chanting, syncopated]
(Wait for it!) I’m not throwing away my shot!
(Wait for it!) Give it everything I got!
(Rise up!) The clock is ticking, the world is spinning
(Rise up!) This is only the beginning!
[Outro]
(Piano fades out slowly)
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
(Final dramatic violin note)
