[Verse 1] Two minutes left, I’m still in the room Shoelace loose, heart in the fumes Mom said “boy, don’t fold in the heat” I learned how to breathe on a busted-up beat Small-town hands, big-time scars Scraped up knuckles, bent-out bars They said “sit down,” I said “watch me stand” Now I’m dragging my name through the fire in my hands Night after night, I ate that doubt Kept my head low, kept my mouth shut out Now every wrong turn, every bad bet Turns into fuel when I’m not done yet [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it now Pressure in my chest If I fall, I fall But I don’t know rest [Chorus] Dead end run I’m not done Dead end run Watch me come Steel in my lungs Fire in my tongue Dead end run I’m not done [Verse 2] Mud on the floor from the old front door Dreams on the shelf, I wanted more Clock hands spin, but I don’t bend I’ve been broke so long it became my friend Late shift grind with a backseat prayer Empty fridge, still I climb that stair Every “maybe” turned into “prove it” Every setback taught me how to move it I don’t need gold, I need one clean shot One hard truth in a dead-silent spot Tell me “no” and I’ll build that wall Climb it twice just to watch it fall [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it now Pressure in my chest If I fall, I fall But I don’t know rest [Chorus] Dead end run I’m not done Dead end run Watch me come Steel in my lungs Fire in my tongue Dead end run I’m not done [Bridge] When the whole world said “stay low” I grew roots in the back row I got scars, I got proof I got a name they can’t run through [Chorus] Dead end run I’m not done Dead end run Watch me come Steel in my lungs Fire in my tongue Dead end run I’m not done
