[Intro]
Under bright lights, a heartbeat in the crowd
Whispers of a dream, calling out loud
[Verse 1]
From the dirt to the glare, I lace up my shoes
Every early morning, every late-night bruise
Nicholas in the mirror, same hopeful eyes
Chasing a skyline where the impossible tries
Rags to a rhythm, hustle to shine
Bread on the table, hunger in the line
One name on my tongue, one road I ride
Cristiano chasing greatness, deep inside
[Pre-Chorus]
They say the top is lonely, I hear it clear
I build my legacy with every gear
[Chorus]
Riddim in my lungs, dedication in my veins
Dreams like echoes calling out my name
Fame is a mirror, I’ll earn every claim
Rise, rise, rise, one love, one flame
[Verse 2]
I stitch the nights with the days I give
Count the small wins, learn how to live
Big dreams, yeah, we all want the crown
But I plant my flag where the roots go down
Cristiano’s fire lights up the street
With every setback, I refuse defeat
Work like tomorrow won’t come at all
Grace in my steps when I hear the call
[Pre-Chorus]
They say the climb will break you, I hear the proof
I keep faith steady, I move, I improve
[Chorus]
Riddim in my lungs, dedication in my veins
Dreams like echoes calling out my name
Fame is a mirror, I’ll earn every claim
Rise, rise, rise, one love, one flame
[Bridge]
Through the night I hear the crowd chant my name
Not for glory, but to honor the game
If I fall, I’ll rise again, same aim
To light the world with a fearless flame
[Chorus]
Riddim in my lungs, dedication in my veins
Dreams like echoes calling out my name
Fame is a mirror, I’ll earn every claim
Rise, rise, rise, one love, one flame
[Outro]
Cristiano in the story, history on the page
Hustle, heart, and hustle again—my stage
