(Intro) Yeah. Boot the future up. 140 on the dash. No ceiling. Yeah. This ain’t overnight. This brick by brick, baby, beer me. Shh.. Verse 1 I used to pray for a shortcut, fast lane to the skyline, That’s what they told me was the dream,, Thought if I ran hard enough the whole world would listen. But every door had a lock and a lesson behind it, Every loss left a scar but I found gold inside it. They said greatness instant, I learned patience is power, Seeds don’t scream when they grow, they take root in the hour. Pressure made diamonds, my silence made vision, I stopped chasing applause, got lost in the cause and started chasing precision, you won’t hear me bitchin’ just diggin’, Every setback a level, every doubt a test, Every door forced another part of me to stretch what i thought was the best, But, Now I see the climb different, can’t rush the pages, You don’t become a legend in one move, can’t lose, you’re built in stages. Pre-Chorus They said slow down, that’s too ambitious, I said watch how I move when the vision get vicious. From dreams to a global schemes, We don’t ask what it is, we build what they missed. Chorus We rise in stages, From fire to form across the ages. Stage by stage, we elevate, elevate, No rush, no break, we regulate, regulate. Brick by brick, we generate, generate, Greatness takes time, we demonstrate, demonstrate. Stage by stage, we elevate, elevate, Pressure makes diamonds, we resonate, resonate. Slow grind, never hesitate, Stage by stage, we elevate. Verse 2 I wanted the spotlight before I had the weight, Wanted the crown before I understood fate. Now I know growth is a slow burn flame, You earn your depth before your name. Every version of me had to fall away, Every comfort zone had a price to pay. Not a straight line, more a spiral climb, Lose your ego, find your prime. It’s not about the hype that fades in a week, It’s about the voice that’s still there when you’re weak. About character formed when nobody sees, About learning how to bend without breaking your knees. Pre-Chorus You can’t skip chapters in a life that’s real, You can’t fake scars you didn’t feel. Trust the process, trust the wages, You’re becoming in stages. Chorus We rise in stages, From fire to form across the ages. Stage by stage, we elevate, elevate, No rush, no break, we regulate, regulate. Brick by brick, we generate, generate, Greatness takes time, we demonstrate, demonstrate. Stage by stage, we elevate, elevate, Pressure makes diamonds, we resonate, resonate. Slow grind, never hesitate, Stage by stage, we elevate. Bridge Not perfection, just progression, Not obsession, just direction. Every fall a redirection, Every scar a resurrection. Slow build, strong base, Run your own pace. Final Chorus We rise in stages, From raw beginnings to wiser sages. Stage by stage, we elevate, elevate, No rush, no break, we regulate, regulate. Brick by brick, we generate, generate, Greatness takes time, we demonstrate, demonstrate. Stage by stage, we elevate, elevate, Pressure makes diamonds, we resonate, resonate. Slow grind, never hesitate, Stage by stage, we elevate. Outro Brick by brick. Day by day. That’s the only way.
