[Verse 1] They told you to push They told you the sweat was the currency of the soul But listen Being strong beyond your limits Only brings the weakness that you fear The self-perpetuating state of more That tires the bone, exhausts the blood, and silences the spirit The debt, the price of over-promising We are masters of the mask We promise the world because we are afraid our enough isn't enough But burnout Burnout is just the bill coming due It's the price you pay for over-promising instead of standing tall in your own baseline There is no extra credit for over-exertion The universe doesn't grade on a curve of exhaustion It only asks, did you mean it? [Verse 2] And then there are the others The ones we carry We think it's love to take their weight We call it selfless, but look closer By being their strength, you are stealing their struggle You are robbing them of the very lessons that they were sent here to learn Let them find their own footing Be strong, be enough, but do not be a thief of another's growth [Verse 3] I have a habit Maybe you do too I'm a master at the proximity paradox Keeping things that I want way out there Far enough so that they can't break Far enough so that I can't fail them While I let the things I don't want crowd the room Brushing against my sleeves, stealing my air We stop that today We pull the desire close We push the static to the fence [Verse 4] Now the mantra, the secret of the creator Maximum results, minimal effort Not because we are lazy, but because we are precise The minimal true intent you put into an idea That is the key that turns the lock See the day as a map of hints Follow the precedent of the positive Accept what is written in stone Change what is written in ink [Outro] Believe the outcome is already waiting in your path Manifestation isn't a bridge that you build It is a fog that you clear Don't lend anything to fear It holds no stake in your happiness Remember the ink Remember the intention Because even the smallest lines Can make the greatest dragons
