(Male + Female duet, choir‑lift chorus) [Verse 1 — Male] Been down bad, but the bounce stays strong, Pressure on the neck, still the stride stays long. Life threw hands, but the body still swings, Turning every hit into champion things. Heart on the sleeve but the drip stays clean, Focus on the mission, built for the scene. Talk gets loud but it fades at crunch time — Strength rises up, even bruised, even punch‑lined. [Verse 1 — Female] Storms came heavy, but the glow stayed bright, Losses turned lessons, stepping into the light. Shadows tried dimming, but the shine broke through, Fire‑walked paths now golden in view. Vibes don’t chase — alignment finds place, Love isn’t begged — it reflects in its space. Hold down the ground, lift higher the flame — Two souls linked, one spark, one name. [Pre‑Chorus — Both] No break — just bend, then snap right back, snapping. Weight on the shoulders turns something worth stacking. Cold in the world? Ignite the night — Two hearts, one beat, still gwaan’ fight. ⭐ [Chorus — Both + Harmonies] **Hold up — lift high, Stronger together, no need for why. When the weight gets heavy, no fold — just fly, Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… survive, survival… survive, survival. Hold up — lift high, Real ones around, and the whole place shines. Stand firm — ride strong — Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… survive, then thrive. Stand firm — ride strong — Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… survive, then thrive.** (Choir harmonies swelling behind the “oh‑ah, oh‑ah”) [Verse 2 — Male] Not perfect — but solid when the moment counts, Never chased clout, still the name gets announced. Ten toes grounded when the whole floor shakes, Calm in the chaos, the real in the fakes. Scars tell stories — space always remains, Doubts fall quiet when reminded of gains. Hype fades quick — legacy stays, Souls locked tight in synchronised ways. [Verse 2 — Female] Not a “ride or die,” but a rise‑and‑live, Peace in the storm, strength that gives. When the path gets lost, light cuts through dark, When the flame burns low, breath sparks the spark. Drama dissolves — elevation takes place, Chaos clears — transformation finds space. Steady the ground, truth holds true — Grown‑folk love, not the childish view. [Bridge — Both] Growth isn’t chased just to say that it grew, Healing, learning, renewing, breaking through. Resilience in motion — that’s the groove, Two hearts, one rhythm, nothing can remove. ⭐ [Chorus — Both + Harmonies] **Hold up — lift high, Stronger together, no need for why. When the weight gets heavy, no fold — just fly, Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… survive, survival… survive, survival. Hold up — lift high, Real ones around, and the whole place shines. Stand firm — ride strong — Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… survive, then thrive. Stand firm — ride strong — Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… survive, then thrive.** [Outro — Choir + Both] Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… survive, then thrive… Oh‑ah, oh‑ah… rise, rise…
