Iron and Ascent

[Intro] Footsteps whisper, dawn on the edge of doubt I lace my resolve, let the past fade out [Verse 1] I’m built from the grit you never saw, the quiet storms you ignore My spine is steel, my feet on the floor, I rise and I roar You doubt the fire that tempers me slow, I sharpen every mistake I train in the silence where conq'rits grow, and I never break [Pre-Chorus] To the challengers watching from the shade, I speak with the patience of a guide Learn from the road that I’m carving today, respect the grind I keep inside [Chorus] I walk my own path, I own my climb, I won’t bow to the noise I’m proof of the hours, the punches, the toil, I’m building my inner poise If you doubt, you see the truth I unveil, I’ll outlast your loud parade Mentor in spirit, coach in heart, I lead with earned, not borrowed aid [Verse 2] Family ties stitched with resilience and pride, they every day remind me to rise Discipline rings in my breath and stride, I answer with truth in my eyes I run through the doubt, I sprint through the rain, I chisel my fate from the rock I’m lifting the weight of the world in my brain, the summit is mine to unlock [Pre-Chorus] Rivals may whisper, friends may doubt, but I’m chasing a higher guide I study the scars, I study the wins, I’m learning to conquer inside [Chorus] I walk my own path, I own my climb, I won’t bow to the noise I’m proof of the hours, the punches, the toil, I’m building my inner poise If you doubt, you see the truth I unveil, I’ll outlast your loud parade Mentor in spirit, coach in heart, I lead with earned, not borrowed aid [Bridge] If you fall in line behind my fire, you’ll rise when the spark becomes flame Stay close to the charge, not just the choir, respect is earned, not vain [Chorus] I walk my own path, I own my climb, I won’t bow to the noise I’m proof of the hours, the punches, the toil, I’m building my inner poise If you doubt, you see the truth I unveil, I’ll outlast your loud parade Mentor in spirit, coach in heart, I lead with earned, not borrowed aid [Outro] Stronger each dawn, I’m written in stone, I’m the echo of those who dared I rise, I train, I claim my throne, with family love and the scars I’ve bared
