Willing or Not [Verse 1] I don’t flex trauma, I bury and own it, No death, no drama, I live in the moment, Bust through the mountain, no fear when I’m on it, Light up the dark like I’m striking a comet You can take my body, but not my soul, There’s a fire inside me I can’t control, Flames in my chest, yeah they rise and roll, Turn pain into power, that’s how I grow [Pre-Chorus] Pity shows up, I just wave it goodbye, Let it die slow, I don’t let it inside, No mask on my face, no need to disguise, I’ve seen the worst, now I’m cutting the ties [Chorus] Made tough as an ox, strong as nails, Rolling like the Bronx, riding them rails, I won’t break down, I won’t rot— I keep moving, willing or not Made tough as an ox, built to prevail, Heart full of fire, I never derail, Knocked down hard, still I fought— I keep moving, willing or not [Verse 2] Never give up, I roll with the punches, Pain in my gut but I turn it to lunches, Feeding my hunger, I’m stacking the crunches, Smiling through therapy, breaking the hunches Don’t need sympathy, don’t need fame, I speak my truth, put heat on my name, Glory in scars, yeah I earned this flame, Walk through the storm, I’m rewriting the game [Bridge] Two steps forward, one step back, Heart under pressure, mind under attack, Anxiety creeping, it’s cutting me slack— But I push right through, I don’t fade to black [Chorus] Made tough as an ox, strong as nails, Rolling like the Bronx, riding them rails, I won’t break down, I won’t rot— I keep moving, willing or not [Outro] I’ll keep going, give all I got, Through every low and every shot, No matter the fear, no matter the cost— I’m still here… willing or not
