Chaos Flame Rise

Lyrics

[INTRO — Whispered, distorted guitar slowly building] Yeah... Xpollo X... They thought the pain would break me But they don't know what it made me [Heavy guitar riff enters] I WAS BORN FROM THE CHAOS! [VERSE 1 — Aggressive rhythmic rap] I came from the bottom where nobody cared Had demons around me and nobody there They wanted me broken, they wanted me scared But I looked in the mirror and found me a prayer I been through the fire, I walked through the rain I learned how to smile while hiding the pain They speak on my name but ain't built for the weight I carried the world while they prayed I would break I got a vision they never could see Built me an empire from nothing but dreams They started to hate when I started to lead Funny how jealousy grows from a seed I don't need approval, I know what I'm worth I had to go through hell to find heaven on Earth They wanted a grave, I gave 'em a birth Now watch how I rise while they drown in the dirt! [PRE-CHORUS — Emotional melodic singing] I've been falling, I've been breaking Lost myself but I'm still changing All these scars that I've been facing Made me who I am! [CHORUS — Explosive rock vocals, heavy guitars] I WAS BORN FROM THE CHAOS! RAISED INSIDE THE FLAMES! You can try to tear me down But I'll never be the same! I BEEN FIGHTING ALL MY DEMONS! SCREAMING THROUGH THE PAIN! You can hate me, you can doubt me BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY NAME! Whoa-oh-oh! I'm not backing down! Whoa-oh-oh! YOU CAN'T BREAK ME NOW! [VERSE 2 — Fast aggressive rap, trap drums and guitar] Look! I got enemies smiling whenever they see me But secretly praying somebody defeats me They watch every move like they're trying to be me Then wonder why everything I do looks easy I put in the hours, I put in the pain I stood in the storm when they ran from the rain I never switched sides for a moment of fame I still got the scars, I just learned from the shame Yeah! Xpollo the reason, but X is the rage One keeps the peace while the other's uncaged Two different sides when I'm turning the page One builds an empire, one breaks through the cage I ain't got time for the envy or lies I'm looking ahead with the future in sight Violet eyes when I'm ready to fight Gold when I'm bringing the darkness to light I lost some people I thought would stay Watched close friends turn into snakes But everything broken along the way Built the man standing here today! [PRE-CHORUS — Softer, emotional vocals] And I've been falling, I've been breaking Every loss became my strength You can try to steal my future BUT YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE MY FATE! [CHORUS — Full rock band, layered harmonies] I WAS BORN FROM THE CHAOS! RAISED INSIDE THE FLAMES! You can try to tear me down But I'll never be the same! I BEEN FIGHTING ALL MY DEMONS! SCREAMING THROUGH THE PAIN! You can hate me, you can doubt me BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY NAME! Whoa-oh-oh! I'm not backing down! Whoa-oh-oh! YOU CAN'T BREAK ME NOW! [BRIDGE — Emotional singing, clean electric guitar] Sometimes I wonder if the pain was worth it All those nights when I felt worthless Tried to find peace but I couldn't deserve it Had to lose everything to find my purpose [Voice becomes raspy] And if tomorrow never comes At least they'll know how far I've run I may be scarred, but I ain't done [SCREAMED] I'M NOT DONE! [BREAKDOWN — Half-time drums, down-tuned guitar] BREAK ME! TRY TO ERASE ME! I'M STILL HERE! YOU CAN'T REPLACE ME! [Instrumental pause] YOU MADE A MONSTER WHEN YOU TRIED TO BREAK ME! [FINAL CHORUS — Maximum intensity, full melodic singing] I WAS BORN FROM THE CHAOS! RAISED INSIDE THE FLAMES! You can try to tear me down BUT I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME! I BEEN FIGHTING ALL MY DEMONS! SCREAMING THROUGH THE PAIN! You can hate me, you can doubt me BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY NAME! Whoa-oh-oh! I'm not backing down! Whoa-oh-oh! YOU CAN'T BREAK ME NOW! [OUTRO — Guitar feedback, quiet spoken voice] They saw the destruction... But they never understood the creation I ain't fighting to prove them wrong anymore I'm fighting for everything I'm becoming Xpollo X... [Final distorted guitar hit]
