[Intro] Yeah... They told me slow down I told 'em I already lost too much time [Verse 1] I got a different kind of hunger in me Not the kind that disappears when the money comes in I remember every night they counted me out Now I make moves with no need to announce I don't flex for the people who doubted my vision I learned every win comes with a different decision You can chase the applause or protect your position You can lose yourself trying to fit their description I seen friends turn strange when the tables got set Seen people switch sides over money and respect So I keep my circle small and my intentions clear I don't need a crowd just to know I'm here [Pre-Chorus] I paid my dues I know what it cost I found my way By getting lost [Hook] Run it up, run it up Ain't nobody gonna stop us now Run it up, run it up Turn the pressure into power now [Verse 2] I don't wanna be rich if I can't sleep at night Don't wanna win if I gotta sacrifice Every person I love just to prove I'm right That's not success, that's a different kind of price So I move with a purpose, I don't move for the trend I don't call everybody just because they call me friend I got scars on my heart that I don't recommend But they taught me exactly who I am in the end I learned patience from the years I was waiting Learned strength from the moments I was breaking Now every setback feels like preparation Every closed door gave me better navigation [Pre-Chorus] I paid my dues I know what it cost I found my way By getting lost [Hook] Run it up, run it up Ain't nobody gonna stop us now Run it up, run it up Turn the pressure into power now [Verse 3] Now the bass hits hard when I walk in the room But I still remember eating dinner in the gloom That's why every victory means more than the view 'Cause I know exactly what it took to get through I don't need revenge, I just need elevation Let success be the answer to every accusation If they never believed, that's okay, let 'em watch I'm too busy building what they said I could not And when the lights hit, I won't forget All the people and the pain that made me this Every mile, every loss, every night I survived Is another reason I'm still here in this fight [Bridge] No shortcuts No favors No turning back We built this From the ground And we won't lose that [Final Hook] Run it up, run it up Ain't nobody gonna stop us now Run it up, run it up Turn the pressure into power now [Outro] Run it up... Not for the noise. Not for the fame. For everything we survived.
