[Intro – Spoken / Low Energy] Yeah… Pressure build but will never break me. Pain— no yield, determined, I shake free. [Verse 1] Mirror talk, I been checkin’ my flaws Tryna boss my emotions, not flex for applause Life hit hard, no pads, no rules Every bruise - an old fire fuels Every failure - provides a few clues. Had to crawl through the dirt to appreciate the view Now I move with a purpose, resilience to stay true Weight on my back, but I stand up straight Scars turn into a canvas to decorate Mind on grind, heart still praying Mirror talk opened up my mind— setting goals — still maintaining Lessons learn — no more contemplating [Pre-Chorus – Melodic] I ain’t foldin’, I ain’t hidin’ Been through too many Storms I stopped fearing lightning If I’m breathin’, I’m still in it Every setback, I react with a pivot [Chorus – Melodic / Bouncy] I’m tryna be better than I was yesterday Carry my head high, still movin’ the right way Life hits hard, just another day— Standing strong through the pressure and pain, Like a precious gem perfectly made I’m destined to achieve greatness Every step hit different, sights locked in— I can’t miss [Verse 2] Demons knockin’ — Doors are locked, Curses blocked — Never to be allowed in. Protected, tapped into power unlocked within Learned that life can be give and take, Separated the Real from the Fake Realized, in this life, we only get one take. Can’t afford to pour into an empty tank Grind gets goin’, turnin’ stacks to Racks Turnin’ heavy nights into bounce-back tracks East Coast lean, Roots run deep— Lookin’ real clean, Movin’ more confidently Trusting myself to take the leap. [Pre-Chorus – Melodic] I don’t chase destiny, I attract alignment Faith moving quiet, God’s power proving timeless — This is Enlightenment [Chorus – Rhythmic / Melodic / Bouncy] I’m tryna be better than I was yesterday Carry my cross but I’m findin’ my way Life keep testin’ my heart and my faith Still I rise through the fire and flames Every step closer, I feel it in me I’m becomin’ the man I was meant to be [Bridge – Faster Pocket / Gates Energy] If pressure talk, I talk louder Built in the fire, not powdered Mind sharp, heart guarded Faith bent, never broken I ain’t rushin’, I’m focused Every move gotta mean somethin’ I don’t fear what I can’t see I fear not bein’ the man in me [Outro – Calm / Confident] Yeah… I ain’t there yet, but I’m closer than before Reality checked in, life tried to close the door. Changed mindsets, excited for what’s in store Still standin’— I’m all in, my time to score.
