(Intro) They don’t know the war I was born from... (Verse 1) Yeah, I'm supposed to be a soldier who never loses composure, This weight on my frame, it's a chain, it's a closure. Born from a war, where the enemy is the man in my head, A rock that won't stop, even when my own mind wants me dead. They see me breathing, they see me walkin' the line, They don't see the pressure, the struggle that's only mine. This ain't a choice, it’s a role I'm forced to play, And this is what it means to be a man in this day and age. (Verse 2) They want me to stay up, keep my chin high and my head up, But they don't see the nights I’m losing sleep and waking up fed up. With the same battles, the same shadows chasing my mind, I'm running out of places to hide, running out of time. They see the trophies, the wins, the milestones I've hit, But they don't see me punching walls, about to lose my grip. They see the king on the mountain, but not the hell I walk through, Just to get to the top, where the air is thin and the pain cuts through. I'm the main event, the undisputed champ of my past, Fighting the future, trying to make the fragile peace last. (Chorus) (Yeah) I was born from a war, every breath is a fight, Just dealing with the darkness, trying to find some light. They want a soldier who never breaks down, never bends, But this battle inside me is the one that never ends. This ain't a game, it's my life, I'll take it, I'm a heavyweight, they'll never break this. (Verse 3) I feel the pull every morning, it's a cold-blooded battle inside, The war never sleeps, there's nowhere to run or to hide. They say that I'm weak, but they don't see the force, That I fight on my knees, just to stay on my course. This ain't a machine, just a body full of regret, Just trying to survive, I haven’t won anything yet. This ain't for a crowd, it's just me and this feeling, Every day is a war against that hollow ache, Just a man fighting for his own damn sake... (Verse 4) Yeah, they'll tell you the story of how I “made it out,” But they'll skip the pages of the blood and the doubt. The hunger that kept me awake, the cold that left me shaking, Every choice is a battle, every step is a bone I'm breaking. I put on my armor, it's a cage I built of past wars, Every weld is a failure, I'm counting my scars. So when you see me on this mountain, just know it's a throne of dirt, I'm still the same beast from the rubble, but now I know my worth. I am the fire, and this isn't a flame, it's a full-on inferno. (Bridge) When my own strength runs dry, that’s where the real power begins, I found the only ally who fights for the soul and wins. My victory’s written by the unseen, unshakable Hand. I'm not fighting to be tough, I'm fighting to be clean, This war is my purpose, fueled by what faith can mean. So let the darkness gather—I’m moving with absolute grace, I found my Commander, and I'm holding this place. (Verse 5) They call me crazy, say I'm living in my own world, But this is the ground I hold, this is the truth I’ve faced. Every mark on my body, a story of the places I’ve gone, From the deepest pits of hell, to the coming of the dawn. The fight is never over, it just changes its form, I learned to live with the thunder, and to breathe in the storm. So when the music stops, and the noise stops, Just know this soldier's still marching, this is my internal war... Just focused on the future, the peace, and the plan, Yeah, I’m a soldier, just trying to be a man. (Chorus) (Yeah) I was born from a war, every breath is a fight, Just dealing with the darkness, trying to find some light. They want a soldier who never breaks down, never bends, But this battle inside me is the one that never ends. This ain't a game, it's my life, I'll take it, I'm a heavyweight, they'll never break this. (Outro) Yeah... They see me standing. But the real fight is the one they'll never see....
