[Intro]
Yeah...
This one's for the dreamers,
For the ones who came from nothing,
But refuse to stay there.
[Verse 1]
Nobody’s chasing where I’m slipping through,
No names or places, just the night’s cold hue.
I’m walking slow, while crowds sprint wild,
Fast lanes crack, their edges piled.
I learned from hands cracked, selling on the curb,
Under skies that curse, yet never disturb.
Grandma's soil-stained fingers told me true,
That sweat’s the price to break right through.
I carried little, but vision heavy as rain,
Each bruise a step, each loss a gain.
No silver spoons, no easy climbs,
Just fiery hope through stuck red times.
[Chorus]
Don’t fold away, keep chasing that flame,
Can’t cage the fire or douse the name.
This road’s jagged, stand, don’t yield,
Every cut plants the secret field.
Don’t fold away, eyes fixed ahead,
Fear’s just noise in the corners of your head.
One day they'll watch, silent and stunned,
The boy they doubted, now the rising sun.
[Verse 2]
Blackouts swallowed our little world,
Hope flickered faint, courage unfurled.
They scoffed at dreams, said to give in,
Never caught the blaze lighting my skin.
Saw Mom stretch thin just to feed us all,
Saw Grandma grind, steady and small.
So I lace these fights tight and rough,
Quit’s a word that ain’t made for us.
Some boast loud, then vanish with the fade,
Real stay firm when promises degrade.
Only the rooted bear the storm’s raw face,
Teaching grace found in steady pace.
[Chorus]
Don’t fold away, keep chasing that flame,
Can’t cage the fire or douse the name.
This road’s jagged, stand, don’t yield,
Every cut plants the secret field.
Don’t fold away, eyes fixed ahead,
Fear’s just noise in the corners of your head.
One day they'll watch, silent and stunned,
The boy they doubted, now the rising sun.
[Bridge]
Slow steps count in long fights,
Heavy loads turn into heights.
No race here, just my own fire,
Climbing peaks, built from desire.
Slow steps, that long grind,
Pain’s the wage to master time.
The summit calls though it’s steep and stark,
I’m fueled by the lessons carved in the dark.
[Verse 3]
Now ahead, a glimpse of light crackling,
Every shadow shaped the tough I’m tackling.
From nowhere, rising, no longer confined,
Crafting futures with scars outlined.
Fall seven times, learn each rise’s tune,
Every miss meant the jackpot soon.
Success doesn’t come wrapped in chance or myth,
It’s stubborn belief beneath the shifts.
[Chorus]
Don’t fold away, keep chasing that flame,
Can’t cage the fire or douse the name.
This road’s jagged, stand, don’t yield,
Every cut plants the secret field.
Don’t fold away, eyes fixed ahead,
Fear’s just noise in the corners of your head.
One day they'll watch, silent and stunned,
The boy they doubted, now the rising sun.
[Outro]
Nobody’s tracking footprints I leave,
Not from where I crawled, nor where I believe.
I kept pace, slow but true,
While others quit and faded through.
Mom sold on sidewalks with cracked hands,
Grandma’s quiet efforts claimed the lands.
Their fight gave breath to the dreams I draw,
Lessons pinned under every scar.
