Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah…

Long nights taught me things daylight never could,

Every wrong turn still pushed me where I should,

I was asking for more, didn’t know the cost,

Now I see the lesson in everything I lost.

[Hook]

What if the weight made my backbone strong,

Every delay was guiding me along,

I asked for a throne, not knowing the load,

Now the load made me solid, now I’m built for the road.

What if the pain was part of the deal,

Pressure shaping everything I feel,

I didn’t break, I adjusted my aim,

Everything I walked through carved my name.

[Verse 1]

Started with hope and a pocket too light,

Dreams on my mind every restless night,

People said wait, I heard move instead,

Learned real quick how to think ahead.

I asked for progress, got tested hard,

Every open scar left a calling card,

Lost some trust, lost some friends,

But I gained the sight to see fake ends.

When it hurt the most, that’s when I grew,

Had to stand alone just to see what’s true,

I wanted respect, had to earn my space,

Had to face myself face to face.

[Hook]

What if the weight made my backbone strong,

Every delay was guiding me along,

I asked for a throne, not knowing the load,

Now the load made me solid, now I’m built for the road.

What if the pain was part of the deal,

Pressure shaping everything I feel,

I didn’t break, I adjusted my aim,

Everything I walked through carved my name.

[Verse 2]

Street taught lessons school never said,

Who stays quiet, who talks instead,

I wanted success, had to learn restraint,

Not every blessing comes wrapped in paint.

Short roads tempting, shining bright,

But I seen too many lose that fight,

So I took the long way, step by step,

Built real strength with the cards I kept.

They see confidence, think it came fast,

Don’t see the nights fighting my past,

I asked for growth, it stretched my skin,

Now pressure don’t scare me, I wear it in.

[Bridge]

Heavy dreams don’t come light,

You earn your future in the silent fights,

If you still standing, you still in line,

That means the struggle ain’t wasting time.

[Verse 3]

Now I move calm, no rush, no fear,

Seen enough storms to see things clear,

I know who I am without the shine,

Met my strength in the hardest times.

I don’t complain what I went through,

Every scar taught me what to do,

I asked for more than a simple life,

So I learned how to carry the weight just right.

[Hook]

What if the weight made my backbone strong,

Every delay was guiding me along,

I asked for a throne, not knowing the load,

Now the load made me solid, now I’m built for the road.

What if the pain was part of the deal,

Pressure shaping everything I feel,

I didn’t break, I adjusted my aim,

Everything I walked through carved my name.

[Outro]

So when it’s heavy, don’t question why,

You asked for the view, that’s a higher climb,

Everything you facing ain’t random at all,

It’s building the version that won’t fall.
