[Intro]
Yo, hear the tremor in the streetlight, I’m steadier in the night
But inside the head’s loud clatter, I’m tryna stay upright
[Verse 1]
I’m countin’ coins and sins, pockets thin, still I’m pushin’ through
Eyes on the sky but the ground feels close, like the walls got screws
Judgment around every corner, whispers loud in my own ear
I’m battlin’ the clock that ticks with doubt, each moment feels unclear
Breath shallow, heart a drumline, fear wearing a critic’s smile
I laugh to hide the tremble, keep movin’ mile after mile
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stumble, will they crown me loser or king?
If I speak my truth, will it break or bend like a string?
[Chorus]
I’m facin’ the mirror, askin’ who I am in the glare
Pressure in the pockets of fear, but I’m still gonna dare
Mind on the cliff, feet on the edge, still I push my way high
Tryna stand tall when the crowd’s loud, I’m reachin’ for the sky
[Verse 2]
Every breath is a bet, I’m layin’ bets with the night
Trying to thrive in the shadows, keep my vision in sight
They judge from a distance, I hear their footsteps in my thoughts
I fight the urge to retreat, I’m more than the battles I’ve fought
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stumble, will they crown me loser or king?
If I speak my truth, will it break or bend like a string?
[Chorus]
I’m facin’ the mirror, askin’ who I am in the glare
Pressure in the pockets of fear, but I’m still gonna dare
Mind on the cliff, feet on the edge, still I push my way high
Tryna stand tall when the crowd’s loud, I’m reachin’ for the sky
[Bridge]
Late night prayers to a quiet room, whisperin’ what’s mine to keep
Cling to the voice that won’t give in, even when the world’s asleep
[Chorus]
I’m facin’ the mirror, askin’ who I am in the glare
Pressure in the pockets of fear, but I’m still gonna dare
Mind on the cliff, feet on the edge, still I push my way high
Tryna stand tall when the crowd’s loud, I’m reachin’ for the sky
[Outro]
Keep movin’, breathe in, breathe out, I’m not defined by the doubt
One step, one breath, one word at a time till I’m loud
