(Intro - Spoken low, reflective) Yeah... This one for the ones who been through it... Who still going through it... Who ain't never got a trophy for surviving... This for you... (Verse 1 - Melodic, sing-rap flow) I seen the bottom of the bottle, seen the ceiling of the grave, Seen my mama cry alone while she was trying to be brave, Seen the system chew my people up and spit 'em out cold, Seen a seventeen-year-old with a story never told, This for the ones who clock in when they soul is on empty, Smiling through the agony so nobody gon' tempt me, This for the fathers doing time but still calling they seeds, This for the mothers holding down the whole house on they knees, This for the kids who never had a shoulder to lean, Who learned to patch they own wounds by the age of thirteen, This for the ones who beat addiction, fought the demon at night, This for the ones still in the ring, still putting up fight. (Chorus - Layered vocals, choir hum underneath) This is for the ones who never gave up, This is for the ones who filled an empty cup, This is for the fighters who refuse to fall, This is for the dreamers who still hear the call, This is for the broken who became the bold, This is for the stories that were never told, This is for the ones who keep on pushing through, This for the real ones... yeah, this for you. (Verse 2 - Flow tightens, more urgent, still melodic) This for the teachers buying supplies out they own check, This for the nurses working doubles, showing up with no rest, This for the veterans fighting wars that don't end when they home, This for the homeless man who still got a heart made of gold, This for the single dad learning how to braid his daughter's hair, This for the foster kid who learned that love ain't always fair, This for the ex-con who changed his life and ain't looking back, This for the youngin who chose books instead of the trap, This for the ones who lost they job and still got up next day, This for the ones who battle demons and still find words to pray, This for the women who left toxic and chose peace over pain, This for the ones who keep on standing in the pouring rain. (Chorus) This is for the ones who never gave up, This is for the ones who filled an empty cup, This is for the fighters who refuse to fall, This is for the dreamers who still hear the call, This is for the broken who became the bold, This is for the stories that were never told, This is for the ones who keep on pushing through, This for the real ones... yeah, this for you. (Bridge - Beat drops to piano, vocals soft, almost broken) I know it's hard... I know you're tired... I know you feel like nobody see the fire... But you still here... You still breathing... That ain't luck... that's God... believe it... (Verse 3 - Emotional peak, voice cracks then rises) This for the ones who never had a father to call, Who had to learn how to be one when they had no one at all, This for the ones who bury friends and still gotta move on, This for the ones who hold it together when everything's gone, This for the cancer survivors, this for the ones still in chemo, This for the ones who lost they faith and still searching for hope though, This for the quiet ones who fight battles nobody sees, This for the ones who cry at night but still get on they knees, This for the dreamers with no money, no clout, no connects, This for the ones who keep it pushing when they got nothing left, This for the ones who never got a round of applause, This for the ones who kept going just because... just because. (Chorus - Full energy, choir swells, 808s knock) This is for the ones who never gave up, This is for the ones who filled an empty cup, This is for the fighters who refuse to fall, This is for the dreamers who still hear the call, This is for the broken who became the bold, This is for the stories that were never told, This is for the ones who keep on pushing through, This for the real ones... yeah, this for you. (Outro - Beat fades, voice raw, whispered) This for you... This for us... This for everybody who ain't never gave up... Keep going... Polo energy
