Keep Moving Forward

[Verse 1]
Jaw on the floor
Yet I stand up
Bills on the table
I’m still here
Whole world swingin’ like it want blood
I just wipe my mouth
Taste the fear
Lost some friends to the easy exit
Lost some sleep to the what-if storm
Heart got bent
But it never snapped
Call that bruise my badge
My form
[Chorus]
Hit me once
I’m still here
Hit me twice
I see clear
I keep movin’ forward
Step by step
You can’t measure me by what I kept
It’s how much I can take and still go on
Still go on
Still go on
That’s winning to me
That’s winning to me (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Mom said
“Life don’t fight fair
Kid”
Life said
“Listen to your mom”
Every plan I had got flipped quick
Every safe road set off alarms
So I stitch my cuts with the days I finish
Count my scars like a quiet choir
Every time I break
I build back bigger
Every fall just feeds the fire
[Chorus]
Hit me once
I’m still here
Hit me twice
I see clear
I keep movin’ forward
Step by step
You can’t measure me by what I kept
It’s how much I can take and still go on
Still go on
Still go on
That’s winning to me
That’s winning to me (yeah)

Gritty motivational hip-hop with male vocals; mid-tempo boom-bap drums, deep warm bass, dusty piano loop. Verses stay close and conversational, slight vinyl crackle; chorus widens with gang vocals and big room claps. Subtle strings rise in the second hook for emotional lift, final chorus drops to half-time drums for a powerful, chest-thumping outro.
