[Verse 1] I don’t wake inspired — I wake up indicted. Future on the stand, says “prove you invited.” Pulse low voltage, room still grey, Motivation missing? It never got paid. Feelings want weather. I work in stone. Forecast irrelevant — lay one more. Friction talk slick like it own my name, But rust don’t argue — it eats the frame. Mirror say “wait till you feel it click.” I clock in anyway. That’s the trick. Hands in the dirt before mind agrees, Roots don’t ask where the sunlight be. [Pre-Chorus] Hope don’t push — it observes. Motion drafts what the nerves rehearse. You want fire? Strike the wire. Spark comes late to the first exert. [Chorus] Move first. Meaning catch up in the blur. Future worth more than the hurt. Decision speak — feelings defer. Move first. Trace cut deep in the dirt. Action write what you were. Pulse follow after the work. [Verse 2] I ain’t chasing a mood — that’s smoke in a hall. I’m laying a cause. Domino law. To matter? You move. To move? You choose. To choose? You lose the excuse you use. Inner noise try lower my bid, Says “you ain’t seen.” I answer “I did.” Agency quiet — no banner, no drum, Just weight in the step when the doubt say run. Belong to the future I haven’t met, Shake hands with debt I ain’t paid yet. Protect what’s fragile — that version of me That only exist if I let him be. Barometer broke. I build anyway. Sky don’t clap when the bricks get laid. Feeling show late like it caught the train, Smile slide in when the sweat leave stain. [Pre-Chorus] You want relief? Apply the strain. You want the proof? Engage the chain. Iron don’t glow till it’s been arranged Under a will that don’t explain. [Chorus] Move first. Meaning catch up in the blur. Future worth more than the hurt. Decision speak — feelings defer. Move first. Trace cut deep in the dirt. Action write what you were. Pulse follow after the work. [Bridge — stripped drums, bass breathing] Not a vibe. A verdict. Not a rush. A pivot. I don’t wait for the river to rise — I dig it. [Final Chorus — slightly ahead of grid] Move first. Let the doubt disperse. Worth declared by the verse You carve in the hours you curse. Move first. Friction turn into nerve. Future lean in — observe. Feeling arrive once you serve.
