I was nine when I stepped on the mat, Seven years of sweat, blood, and combat. I broke my body, I broke my will, But I kept standing — I always will. KMS on my chest, a scar on my knee, The doctor said "stop" — but it wasn't me. I walked away, I closed the door, But the fighter in me still wants more. I am the fire that burned too bright, I am the storm that won the fight. I fell, I rose, I walked alone, Now I'm standing on my own. I am the ash, I am the flame, I'm not the same — I'm not the same. I left the sport, I left the game, But the hunger in me stayed the same. Now I play my games, I stay up late, I don't need a crown, I don't need a fate. I laugh too loud, I joke too fast, I live like nothing ever lasts. I drink, I smoke, I stay awake, I smile at the world for my own sake. I am the fire that burned too bright, I am the storm that won the fight. I fell, I rose, I walked alone, Now I'm standing on my own. I am the ash, I am the flame, I'm not the same — I'm not the same. They say I'm cold, they say I'm dead, They don't see the war inside my head. But I don't care, I don't explain, I just keep walking through the pain. I tried to fit, I tried to bend, But I'm not broken — I just transcend. No one knows what I've been through, And I don't need them to. I am the fire that burned too bright! I am the storm that won the fight! I fell, I rose, I walked alone! Now I'm standing on my own! I am the ash! I am the flame! I'm not the same — I'm not the same! ...just a kid who learned to fight, ...and kept walking through the night.
