[Verse 1] I’ve been cornered, pushed to the edge Staring down demons I never pledged But I won’t fold, I won’t give in I fight to lose, I fight to win [Verse 2] They said I’d break, they said I’d fade But I’m still here, unafraid I’ve built my strength from shattered ground And I won’t stop—I’m battle-bound [Pre-Chorus] Every bruise, every scar Is a badge of who you are I’ve earned my place, I’ve paid the toll Now I’m charging with a burning soul Chorus No retreat, no backing down I wear my grit like a crown Every step, every breath I take Is proof I’ve got what it takes I’m not here to play it safe I’m here to shake the cage and break No retreat, no fear, no defeat I rise again—I won’t retreat [Verse 3] I’ve trained in silence, fought through doubt Built my fire from the inside out I’ve faced the storm, I’ve felt the sting But I kept swinging, kept rising [Bridge 1] Let the pressure come, let the weight fall I’ll carry it all, I’ll stand tall This isn’t luck, this is design I’m built to rise, I’m built to climb [Verse 4] I don’t need comfort, I need the fight The kind that keeps me up at night I’m not afraid of pain or sweat I’m chasing goals I haven’t met [Bridge 2] I’ve walked through fire, I’ve faced the cold But I never let go of my hold This heart beats loud, this will won’t bend I’ll fight until the very end Chorus No retreat, no backing down I wear my grit like a crown Every step, every breath I take Is proof I’ve got what it takes I’m not here to play it safe I’m here to shake the cage and break No retreat, no fear, no defeat I rise again—I won’t retreat [Bridge 3] I’m the echo of every fight I’ve won The rising sun when the night is done I’m not the same—I’ve earned my name Through every loss, through every flame Final Chorus No retreat—I’m forged in fire Every fall built my desire I don’t run, I don’t erase I face the storm, I hold my place I’m the roar, I’m the rise The truth that never hides This is my oath, this is my beat I live to fight—I won’t retreat
