I had nothing in my hands... but I still carried a dream. [Hook – Female Gospel Reggae Choir] Always empty... nothing to hold. Walking on ice... through the cold. A house made of cards, fear standing tall. But my spirit survives... I will never fall. The sword above me cannot control my soul. I keep moving forward... I become whole. [Verse 1] I grew up surrounded by worries and pain. Small rooms, heavy nights, waiting for change. Rain came through the windows, but I stayed alive. A heart full of scars, but a reason to fight. I watched everything disappear, everything I saved. Trying to build tomorrow from the little I had. Family struggles, years full of pressure. Searching for peace inside the stormy weather. They saw my situation, but not my fight. They saw the darkness, not the fire inside. My shoes were broken, my dreams felt far. But even in the night I followed my star. [Pre-Hook] Because a poor man can still have a rich soul. A broken road can still lead home. [Hook – Female Choir] Always empty... nothing to hold. Walking on ice... through the cold. A house made of cards, fear standing tall. But my spirit survives... I will never fall. [Verse 2] Years kept moving, I built castles in the wind. Every day another battle, another version of me within. Look at me now, you don't know my scars. You don't know the nights when I searched for stars. No gold in the treasure, but fire in my eyes. Every time I fell, I learned how to rise. My will bends, but it never breaks. Every storm that comes shows the strength I make. I was never a king with a crown on my head. But I ruled my kingdom with the words that I said. My life was a battlefield, time was my opponent. But I kept dancing, even when the world was broken. [Bridge – Spiritual Choir] House of cards... do not fall. Heart keeps beating... through it all. Every sunrise... is a new vow. Stand up again... your time is now. [Final Hook – Full Reggae Band + Choir] Always empty... nothing to hold. Walking on ice... through the cold. A house made of cards, fear standing tall. But my spirit survives... I will never fall. The sword above me cannot control my soul. I was built by the struggle... now I know my goal. [Outro] The sword may hang... but I remain strong. My day will come... I kept moving on. House made of paper... heart made of steel. This is my journey... this is what I feel. KRYNXTN. [end]
