[Intro] My ancestors wake the floor One breath in, then one round more [Verse 1] Granddad’s scarf tied round my wrist Auntie says, “Don’t clench your fist” I turn the broomstick, step and slide Old lessons moving at my side Left foot light, right shoulder low Count four beats, then let it go Every setback becomes a stance Every heartbeat calls the dance [Pre-Chorus] I hear their names when the room gets loud Stand up straight, make the blood run proud No borrowed fear, no waiting around Feet hit earth with a thunder sound [Chorus] Rev me up, I’m ready to train Spin bright blades through a window of rain Stick in my hand, fire in my stride Kung flow rising from the inside Rev me up, let the whole room shake I carry the strength that my elders made One more round, then I level the sky With my bloodline moving when I fly [Verse 2] Cousin taught me the elbow turn Mother said, “Respect what you learn” Wooden staff hums in a silver arc Practice starts before the sun can spark Duck beneath, then sweep the ground Keep my breath and keep my sound Not for anger, not for fame I train to honor every name [Pre-Chorus] I hear their names when the room gets loud Stand up straight, make the blood run proud No borrowed fear, no waiting around Feet hit earth with a thunder sound [Chorus] Rev me up, I’m ready to train Spin bright blades through a window of rain Stick in my hand, fire in my stride Kung flow rising from the inside Rev me up, let the whole room shake I carry the strength that my elders made One more round, then I level the sky With my bloodline moving when I fly [Bridge] Breathe in—hold Breathe out—strike Calm in the center Lightning at the edge Ancient hands, present day Show me the path, I’ll find my way [Final Chorus] Rev me up, I’m ready to train Spin bright blades through a window of rain Stick in my hand, fire in my stride Kung flow rising from the inside Rev me up, let the whole room shake I carry the strength that my elders made One more round, then I level the sky With my bloodline moving when I fly [Outro] One breath in, one round more Ancestors waiting by the door
