# STILL FIGHTING **[Intro]** Yeah... You thought I was finished? Nah. I'm just finally learning how to fight for myself. **[Verse 1]** I been knocked down, kicked around, still I got up, Had my back on the wall, they were waiting for me to stop, Every loss left a mark, every scar left a thought, Every time I hit bottom, I discovered what I'm not. I'm not weak, I'm just worn, there's a difference between, Being tired of the battle and accepting defeat, I got pain in my chest but there's fire underneath, And as long as I'm breathing, there's a reason to breathe. I done watched opportunities disappear in a second, Had to learn how to turn disappointment into a lesson, Had some people switch sides, had some bridges get severed, But I kept putting pressure on myself to get better. I ain't asking for pity, I ain't begging for praise, I just want to look back and respect how I made it, Every chapter got darker, every page got heavier, Still I carried the book like the weight made me better. **[Pre-Hook]** If I break, I'll rebuild. If I fall, I'll get up. If the world says I'm finished... I ain't finished enough. **[Hook]** I'm still fighting, Even when I don't know why, Still climbing, Even when I lose the light. Still fighting, Even when my heart gets tired, They can bury me deep, I'LL STILL COME OUT THE FIRE. I'm still fighting... Still fighting... As long as I'm breathing, I'm still fighting. **[Verse 2]** I've been fighting expectations, fighting doubt, fighting pressure, Fighting every inner voice telling me I'm not impressive, Fighting memories that tell me I should've done better, Fighting storms that I carried through the worst kind of weather. I got anger in my bloodstream, ambition in my bones, Got a million different thoughts fighting over the throne, I got nights where I question if I'm wasting my time, Then I wake up with a beat and put the doubt in a rhyme. That's the difference. I don't quit when the feeling gets difficult, I get critical, become analytical, Take every negative thought and make it lyrical, Turn the miserable into something unforgettable. I was never given guarantees, I was given obstacles, Had to make a way around every wall they put in front of me, Every "you can't" became another reason I continued, Now I'm looking at the same doubts like, "Look what you turned me into." I ain't perfect, I'm aware of every flaw that I carry, But perfection never built a person stronger than adversity, So let the pressure pile up, let the whole world test me, I been fighting myself for years, nothing outside can impress me. **[Pre-Hook]** If I break, I'll rebuild. If I fall, I'll get up. If the world says I'm finished... I ain't finished enough. **[Hook]** I'm still fighting, Even when I don't know why, Still climbing, Even when I lose the light. Still fighting, Even when my heart gets tired, They can bury me deep, I'LL STILL COME OUT THE FIRE. I'm still fighting... Still fighting... As long as I'm breathing, I'm still fighting. **[Verse 3]** Now I'm back with a vengeance, every sentence is pressure, Every lesson embedded in the texture of my expression, I was tested by tension, rejection, depression, aggression, But I turned every fracture into fuel for progression. I don't need validation, I need elevation, No participation trophies for surviving devastation, I made peace with the fact that some people won't get it, And I'm done explaining every scar just to prove that I felt it. Let 'em doubt me. I've been doubted before. Let 'em leave. I've survived empty doors. Let 'em talk. I've heard worse from my thoughts. Let 'em count me out. I'll become what they forgot. Because I'm still here. That's the part they don't understand. I could lose everything and still build again with my hands, Could be stripped of the comfort, stripped of the fame, Still have enough fire left to remember my name. Platinum! That's more than a name, it's a promise I made, That I wouldn't let the pain be the reason I stayed In the same place mentally, chained to the past, I'm breaking every link that was keeping me trapped. I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring to my door, But I've survived every yesterday that tried to destroy me before, So if another storm comes, let it rain, let it pour... I'll be standing in it. Still fighting. **[Bridge]** I thought strength meant never breaking. Now I know... Strength is breaking And deciding to rebuild. Again. And again. And again. **[Final Hook]** I'm still fighting, Even when I don't know why, Still climbing, Even when I lose the light. Still fighting, Even when my heart gets tired, They can bury me deep, I'LL STILL COME OUT THE FIRE. I'm still fighting... Still fighting... As long as I'm breathing, I'm still fighting. **[Outro]** I survived the nights I thought would be my last chapter. So no... This ain't the end. I'm still fighting.
