[Intro]
Exhausted, eyes red from sleepless nights, mama’s words weighing like iron on my chest
Papa’s gaze, expectations loud in the hall, I’m barely standing, but I’m standing still
[Verse 1]
Desperation on the desk, I whisper small prayers, I’m counting every mark like a lifeline
Bamenda streets in my breath, I grind hard, I refuse to fold, I refuse to bow
Holy Ghost biro in my grip, ink hot with faith, I write destiny over fear
If failure comes knocking, I slam the door with a shout, I rise
[Pre-Chorus]
This pressure pressure me yet I pressure back, I convert the shame to fire in my chest
I talk to the sky in pidgin, I tell doubt: “you sef dey fear? I dey fear not.”
[Chorus]
I reject failure, I collect A1 by force
Faith and grind, no retreat, no remorse
Holy Ghost biro flow, I write my course
This battle I win, by His power, I endorse
[Verse 2]
Despair tries to trap me, I activate war-mode with every question
Study like a soldier, marching through notes, my heart drum-alarm blasting
Altar-fire energy in my veins, I bind every demon of setback
I’m shouting: “Results come now,” in the name of the morning light
[Bridge]
Demons, you’re bound by the blood and the vow, you’re tied to the corner of the page
I demand the score, I claim the grade, I don’t beg, I declare the range
[Chorus]
I reject failure, I collect A1 by force
Faith and grind, no retreat, no remorse
Holy Ghost biro flow, I write my course
This battle I win, by His power, I endorse
[Verse 3]
Shame turns to testimony, I tell the mirror about the turnarounds
From broken to chosen, from fear to fearless, I’m marching on now
GCE papers on the desk like trophies waiting for my name
I sign with the biro blessed by the Spirit and call it a win
[Outro]
Final hook, final shout: God’s help, and I’m only getting higher
My hands lift, my feet steady, the city hears my banner
Praise erupts as I cross the line, glory erupts in victory
One-line signature: Faith + grind + Holy Ghost biro = A1 by force
