Skybound Severn
George McCormack
male vocals
rap
motivational
Triumphant modern hip-hop with male vocals; cinematic strings and airy pads in the intro
then a hard
mid-tempo trap bounce drops in. Verses ride a crisp
head-nodding groove with close-mic
confident delivery and subtle crowd chants tucked in the background. Chorus explodes with stacked vocal doubles
big arena reverb
and a rising synth lead lifting the hook. Final chorus brings in gang vocals and extra percussion for a big
victorious closer.

Lyrics
[Intro]
They said
“You ain’t built for this, Troy”
Guess they ain’t seen me fly yet (yeah)
Watch this
[Verse 1]
Came in through the side door
Cheap seats, nosebleeds, I was grindin'
Laces split, same kicks every night
Still I ran that ramp like it’s lightning
They laughed when they saw my name
Tiny font on the poster, last line in the frame
But I bled in the background, trained in the dark
Turned every scar on my back to a spark
They said, “Kid, stay in your lane”
I said, “Which one? I’m clearin’ all of ’em, man”
From the mat to the rafters I clawed
Underdog every card, now they cheer when I walk
[Chorus]
I’m Troy Severn, I was never meant to win
Now I’m flyin’ so high they can’t see where I’ve been
From the floor to the sky, every fall, every climb
I’m just here to show you it’s your time
If I can rise from the bottom, you can too
Every bruise, every doubt, I fought through
Look up when your back’s on the ground
You were made, you were made to leave the ground
[Verse 2]
Rope burn on my hands, I remember that sting
Every slip, every miss, every bell that would ring
I was flat on my back, hearin’ boos in my head
But I got back up ‘cause my dream never bled
Crowd quiet, then the chant starts small
“Troy-Sev-ern” bouncin’ off the wall
I ain’t gifted, I’m stubborn, that’s fact
Took a hundred hard landings just to learn how to act
I seen kids in the crowd with their hopes on hold
Thinkin’ they ain’t tall enough, brave enough, bold
Listen—every giant started small in the mirror
You won’t see the top ‘til you beat back fear, yeah
[Chorus]
I’m Troy Severn, I was never meant to win
Now I’m flyin’ so high they can’t see where I’ve been
From the floor to the sky, every fall, every climb
I’m just here to show you it’s your time
If I can rise from the bottom, you can too
Every bruise, every doubt, I fought through
Look up when your back’s on the ground
You were made, you were made to leave the ground
[Bridge]
They said “stay down”
I said “say less” (say less)
Turn that pain
Into progress (into progress)
When they count you out
Count your blessings
Every setback
Is just stretchin’
[Chorus]
I’m Troy Severn, I was never meant to win
Now I’m flyin’ so high they can’t see where I’ve been
From the floor to the sky, every fall, every climb
I’m just here to show you it’s your time
If I can rise from the bottom, you can too
Every bruise, every doubt, I fought through
Raise your eyes when you’re feelin’ locked down
You were made, you were made to leave the ground (yeah)
They said
“You ain’t built for this, Troy”
Guess they ain’t seen me fly yet (yeah)
Watch this
