Lyrics
[verse]
Nine soldiers step up, count the crew in the room
Every voice a different weapon, different style, same tomb
Where the weak ideas get buried, only strong bars survive
Chessboard mind state, every move keeps us alive
Concrete kingdom built from nothing but the will
Climbing off the ledge, turning setbacks into skill
Ink on the paper is a sword that never rusts
Trust the code we written, that's the only law we trust
[verse]
Second voice arrives, bring a thunder to the track
Weight of every borough riding heavy on my back
Never asked permission, never needed a co-sign
Built my own foundation, drew my own designated line
Crown ain't given, crown is earned through the fire
Every hour of practice pulling this whole choir higher
Watch the skyline glimmer while the underdogs rise
Victory tastes different when you've counted all the tries
[chorus]
We came from the bottom, we ascend like the smoke
Every single struggle was a lesson, not a joke
Nine deep, one purpose, marching to the throne
Call it a triumph, we built it on our own
[verse]
Third voice on the mic, calm but still commanding
Years of quiet study got me steady, understanding
Every empire started with a single humble brick
Patience is a weapon sharper than the fastest trick
Watch the doubters scatter when the bassline hit the floor
Open up a chapter that they never read before
Legacy in motion, planting seeds beneath the ground
Harvest coming soon, gonna echo out the sound
[bridge]
Rise up, rise up, feel the fire in your chest
Nine strong hearts beating, giving all and giving best
Rise up, rise up, let the struggle be the proof
Every scar a lesson, every lesson is the truth
[chorus]
We came from the bottom, we ascend like the smoke
Every single struggle was a lesson, not a joke
Nine deep, one purpose, marching to the throne
Call it a triumph, we built it on our own
