Life hit me hard, yeah, I felt that blow
Felt like stoppin’, but my soul said “Let’s go”
They wanna see me down, wanna see me low
But I keep that motion, yeah, I move that load
I see you talkin’ dreams, I don’t say no
I’m workin’ every day, yeah, I say “Let’s go”
Intentions turn to action, now it show
I ain’t stoppin’, nah, my heart on GO
[VERSE 1 – ORIGINAL VERSE + ADDITIVE BARS ONLY]
Life hit so hard, had me questionin’ my breath
Pressure on my back, yeah, stress on my chest
Everybody watchin’, hopin’ I’d fail the test
Tryna mop me off the floor like I’m nothin’ but a mess
They say “slow down,” nah, I gotta accelerate
Mentality strong, yeah, I never hesitate
Been pushin’ so long, still buildin’ my estate
Even when I’m tired, I still dominate
Sometimes I wanna drop it all, let go
But the hunger in my gut said “hell no”
Can’t back down, nah, that’s dead though
Every setback talkin’ to me sayin’ “let’s go”
(ADD-IN – smooth punch-in)
I love to live high, yeah, I love that view
Sometimes I get high just to think shit through
Not to run away, just to widen the view
Open up my mind, then I lock in and do
[PRE-HOOK – ISLAND CONTEXT, SHORT]
Came from an island where the ocean raised us
Same place they visit, same place that shaped us
They see a postcard, we see survival
Palm trees, hard nights, heart still tribal
[HOOK – SAME, CROWD-READY]
Life hit me hard, yeah, I felt that blow
Felt like stoppin’, but my soul said “Let’s go”
They wanna see me down, wanna see me low
But I keep that motion, yeah, I move that load
I see you talkin’ dreams, I don’t say no
I’m workin’ every day, yeah, I say “Let’s go”
Intentions turn to action, now it show
Bad-boy mindset, yeah, my heart on GO
[VERSE 2 – BANDO / CREW SECTION, ADDITIVE NOT REPLACEMENT]
First song ever, me and my brother
Junior by my side, yeah, one another
Brother from another, same blood, same hunger
Everything you hear is we, not just one of us
Bando by the Ocean — that was the start
Ghetto by the sea put soul in the art
They call it an incident, we call it our part
Same streets that broke us gave us this heart
Endo, Nando, King Kush in the frame
Same elevation, different lanes
High in life before the fame
Same vision burning in the flame
[BRIDGE – ELEVATION CLARITY]
I don’t smoke to disappear
I elevate so I see it clear
Different angle, higher gear
Then I touch ground and I persevere
High don’t mean lost, high mean aware
See more paths when you rise in the air
Then I come back down and build it right there
Vision first, then the work, then the share
[VERSE 3 – ORIGINAL GRIND + ADDITION]
Checkin’ the whole 3D scene
Ain’t printin’ yet, but I’m still on the team
Son of a deli man, built a scheme
Sick of workin’ hard for somebody else’s dream
Society sellin’ plots and scams
Tryna pull us down with invisible hands
But we flipped that pressure, drew new plans
Started with a couple cars, even a van
(ADD-IN – elevation metaphor)
Tryna be the top, yeah, th
