Never Fold

[Verse 1]
Lost some brothers on the way, that cut deep
Still hear their jokes in my dreams when I sleep
Mama said “son, keep your head, keep your soul”
World trying to bend you, don’t let it take control
Bills on the table, fear in my chest
Pain in the past, still strapped to my vest
Walk through the fire with the burns I hold
But this heart still heavy, and this spine still bold
[Chorus]
No matter how many people you lose
You never give up, you never refuse
You still stand up when the ground shakes (stand up)
You still break through when your voice breaks (yeah)
No matter how many names turn ghost
You carry that love, you carry that hope
You still move on when your legs ache (keep going)
You still show up till your chains break (never fold)
[Verse 2]
I’ve been alone in a room, four walls, one chair
Talking to the ceiling like “why you put me here?”
Every unanswered prayer, every closed door
Taught me how to build my own, hammer on the floor
I’ve been the friend that they left on read
I’ve been the son with the storm in his head
But I kiss that pain like a scar I own
’Cause it made this man out of skin and stone
[Chorus]
No matter how many people you lose
You never give up, you never refuse
You still stand up when the ground shakes (stand up)
You still break through when your voice breaks
No matter how many names turn ghost
You carry that love, you carry that hope
You still move on when your legs ache (keep going)
You still show up till your chains break (never fold)

rap, Moody trap beat built on detuned bells and warm sub-bass, crisp hats skittering around a head-nod kick and snare. Male vocals, gritty but controlled; verses sit in a tight, close-mic pocket, then the hook widens with stacked chant-style doubles and distant choir pads. Subtle risers into each chorus, final hook drops elements to spotlight the voice before one last full-impact hit.
