about

In a world that feels like it’s on the brink of total collapse , I can’t help feel like it’s time to look inward and focus on building a better future. It’s no secret that I have had many ups and downs throughout my career and life thus far, and as always I use my music to inspire the change I want to see in myself and the world around me. The Revenant is about rising from the ashes and building. In Agriculture when the ground is burnt , it leaves space for regrowth and allows new life to flourish. So this song is not about rising up despite the devastation, it’s about using the burnt ground as the foundation for a better future

lyrics

I am the Revenant
I came back stronger once again
Success is all I know
I hope you’re ready for the show
(For the show)

I’m ahead of the game
Won’t stop till I win
I hold my head up high
Greatness comes from within
I am a vision of power
The ground trembles beneath
Just gimme all the glory
And I’ll bring the heat
(I’ll bring the heat, I’ll bring the)
Woah yeah
Woah yeah

Break through the barricade
Reach for the top and don’t look down
Oh it’s the call of the winner
Blood sweat and tears I’m ready to go
(Ready to go )

I’m ahead of the game
Won’t stop till I win
I hold my head up high
Greatness comes from within
I am a vision of power
The ground trembles beneath
Just gimme all the glory
And I’ll bring the heat
(I’ll bring the heat, I’ll bring the)
Woah yeah
Woah yeah
Woah yeah
Woah yeah
