[INTRO] (Silence.) (Slow breathing.) (Long pause.) ⸻ [INNER MONOLOGUE I] (Quiet. Exhausted. Speaking to yourself.) Stay down… Nobody would blame you. You’re tired. You’re hurt. You gave everything. (Pause.) … No. Not everything. Not yet. ⸻ [VERSE 1] Cold floor. Heavy lungs. Eyes shut. Everything spinning. Taste of blood. Back against the wall. Every excuse Sounds real. Every reason Makes sense. … Then I hear it… One. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] One… Can you breathe? Two… Can you move? Three… Who decides When you’re done? ⸻ [CHORUS] Beat the count. Stand your ground. One more second. Right now. Beat the count. Rise again. Life swings hard. Swing again. One more breath. One more step. Don’t surrender… Not yet. ⸻ [VERSE 2] Hands shaking. Raise ’em anyway. Legs burning. Move anyway. Vision blurred. Walk anyway. Mind says quit. Heart says… One more. Chains rattle. Leather cracks. Breathe. Again. Again. Again. ⸻ [TRAINING BREAK] (Beat carries. Sparse instrumentation.) Footwork. Move. Pivot. Breathe. Slip. Roll. Reset. Heavy bag. Again. Roadwork. Keep moving. Hill. Climb. One more step. No glory. Just work. ⸻ [INNER MONOLOGUE II] You think Getting knocked down Makes you weak? No. Staying there… Does. (Pause.) Nobody remembers How many times You hit the floor. They remember How many times You stood back up. (Pause.) Stand up. ⸻ [VERSE 3] You’ve been here before. Different day. Same fight. Different pain. Same choice. The floor knows your name. Make sure It forgets it. Life doesn’t stop. Neither do you. ⸻ [BUILD] (Beat slowly grows.) Still breathing. Still standing. Still here. ⸻ [INNER MONOLOGUE III] The count Doesn’t decide When you’re finished. You do. Pain gets a vote. Fear gets a vote. Doubt gets a vote. … None of them Get the final say. (Pause.) Stand up. Beat the count. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] Beat the count. Stand your ground. Life knocked you down. Stand up now. One more breath. One more fight. Darkest hour. Choose the light. One more scar. One more dawn. I decide To carry on. Not because It’s easy now. Because I made A promise… To myself. ⸻ [OUTRO] (Music slowly fades.) (Only breathing remains.) One step. … Then another. … Good. … Tomorrow… … We go again. (Silence.)
