They called me nothin’
Just a ghost on the bleachers
Faded dreams in my notebook
Broken lines, broken teachers
I walked home through the silence
Rain hitting like truth
Every step was a whisper
Saying, “You’ll never break through”
But I kept that fire in my chest
Even when I had no breath
The world said I was less
But I ain’t done yet
Now I’m rising out the dirt
From every name that made it hurt
I’m not a loser, just unheard
But now I'm screaming through the verse
This is for the nights I cried
For the boy they left behind
Out the shadows, I emerge
Watch me burn
I'm out the dirt
Old scars on my knuckles
Still punchin' through doubt
Used to pray to the ceiling
Now I’m singing it loud
No silver, no rescue
Just these hands and a dream
Tired eyes in the mirror
But they still believe
And I wore shame like a coat
'Til I ripped every thread of that ghost
They said I’d never float
But look—I'm sailing home
Now I’m rising out the dirt
From every name that made it hurt
I’m not a loser, just unheard
But now I'm screaming through the verse
This is for the nights I cried
For the boy they left behind
Out the shadows, I emerge
Watch me burn
I'm out the dirt
So to every kid alone in the dark
With a flicker still alive in your heart
You’re not done, you’re not lost
You’re just a spark waiting to start
Now we're rising out the dirt
From every name that made it hurt
Not a loser—just unheard
Now we're singing every word
This is for the nights we cried
For the dreams we kept alive
Out the silence, we emerge
Let us burn
We're out the dirt
