First to Meet

[Intro] City lights flicker as the elevator climbs Sleeves rolled up, ambition in my spine [Verse 1] I’m chasing a door that shines like a sign, a private plane, a boardroom skyline Coffee cold, I’m counting every line, patience on boil and a stubborn shine [Pre-Chorus] Hands steady, I map the route in my head Every “maybe” turned to “yes” when I’m there instead [Chorus] First to meet, first to break the ice Climbing the stairs, I’m rolling dice If doubt asks, I tell it thrice: I’m first to meet the prize [Verse 2] Suits whisper numbers, futures in their eyes I carry a story of late-night tries I’m not just chasing cash, I’m chasing time, a moment when hard work aligns [Pre-Chorus] Breath even, I step through the velvet gate Dreams aren’t given, they’re earned at the late hour’s rate [Chorus] First to meet, first to break the ice Climbing the stairs, I’m rolling dice If doubt asks, I tell it thrice: I’m first to meet the prize [Bridge] If the room is quiet, I’ll echo my vow I built this path with every step I’ve plowed [Chorus] First to meet, first to break the ice Climbing the stairs, I’m rolling dice If doubt asks, I tell it thrice: I’m first to meet the prize [Outro] From the lobby hum to the closing lights, I’m still first—reach the summit of the night
