[Intro – spoken, piano only] Why me? Why all this agony? [silence – 2 bars] I never woke up and said… “Today I fail.” But I did… [Verse 1] I gave it all, every drop I had Love in my chest, hustle in my hands Devotion in my bones, discipline in my veins Still somehow I’m the one left carrying pain Tell me why the road gets cruel to the ones who care Why the weight gets heavier for the ones who dare I followed every lesson they put in my head Still watched good intentions fall apart instead [silence – 1 bar] So tell me… what more was I supposed to bleed? [Chorus – emotional] Why me? Why all this agony? I built my life with honest hands Still life kept testing me Why me? What did you want from me? I gave the world the best I had And still it took from me [Verse 2] I did what I was taught, stood tall when it got hard Never played the victim, never folded my cards And I did it my way, not the herd’s parade Cause I wasn’t raised to bend just to get my place Never chased approval, never copied the crowd Never watered down my soul just to make ’em proud If I lose, I lose as me, not some watered clone I’d rather die authentic than survive unknown [silence – 2 bars] That’s how I was built… [Bridge – shift in energy, drums rise] But you know what? [silence – 1 bar] The show ain’t over… Till I say it’s over [silence – 2 bars] And I ain’t said a damn thing yet [Verse 3 – triumphant escalation] Hello life, I’m still standing here Scarred up, tired, but I persevere You hit me hard, but I hit back harder Pain made a man, pressure made a father I came for glory, I came for the crown Didn’t crawl through hell just to lay back down Didn’t survive the storm just to fear the rain Didn’t lose this much just to quit this game [Final Chorus – anthem mode] Hello life! I’m here for glory I’m here for the trophy Before the show is over Hello life! Still writing my story Still chasing that moment Before the curtains close here [Outro – spoken, victorious] You can count me out… You can doubt me… You can bury me in setbacks… But understand this… The show… is not over… Until I say… it’s over.
