[Intro] Idea hit like a flashbang Whiteboard brain, whole plan But the page stayed blank in my hand [low vocal register] I was mad at the pen, not the plan [Verse 1] Saw it sharp like a skyline Every detail, every lifeline Blueprint burning in my hindsight But my tongue tripped over the bright light Took swings in the dark, eyes wide Missed big, still felt that tide Kept notes in the margins, crossed lines Every “wrong” move turned to guidelines Hit wall after wall after wall Still I scribbled on the bricks, wrote it all Turned doubt to a daily drill Tiny wins stacked up into skill [Chorus] I keep swingin' till the sparks turn flame Rapid fire, every miss, same aim Level up, level up, every bruise, every scar ’Til the dream in my head’s what we hold in our arms I keep swingin' till the sparks turn flame Rapid fire, every loss, still game Little by little, now I finally know What it takes to make this vision grow [Verse 2] Harmonica cryin’ in the background Violin slicing through the self-doubt sound Heart racing with the kick drum Every setback, I’d reload, then some I was broke on the inside, rich in ideas Didn’t match, so I wrestled my fears Turned confusion to a checklist Turned questions to a next step, next risk Read, failed, learned, then repeated Every “almost” kept me heated Map in my mind, feet in the mud Step by step, turned the grind into love [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] One more try [whispered vocals] One more line [growing intensity] One more night I give this grind ’Til clear thought meets clear design Now I see what I couldn’t define Every swing drew the outline Every crack in my confidence Let the truth shine through the silence Now the path ain’t magic, it’s math Tiny numbers stack into a track Dream turned daily, daily turned fact [call-and-response] “Keep swingin’” “Never look back” [Chorus]
