(Intro)
They keep saying, “Play it safe…”
Nah.
You only get one shot.
⸻
(Verse 1)
Everybody got an opinion,
Everybody swear they know.
Funny how the loudest people
Never built nothing of their own.
I’ve been clocking in, stacking checks,
Writing songs nobody’s heard.
One day they’ll call it luck…
Like they ain’t miss the work.
Long nights turn into early mornings,
Dreams don’t care what time it is.
Every “no” just sounds like fuel…
Every loss reminds me to live.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
If I fall…
At least I jumped.
⸻
(Chorus)
I’d rather risk it all
Than wonder what it would’ve been.
I’d rather lose chasing dreams
Than never chase a thing.
If the world says, “Slow down,”
I’m probably speeding up.
You only get one life…
I’m risking mine.
⸻
(Verse 2)
Everybody loves the highlight,
Nobody stays for overtime.
They’ll see the view from the top…
Never the uphill climb.
I’ve had people tell me quit,
Get comfortable where you are.
But comfort never built a legacy…
It just keeps you where you are.
I’m not racing anybody else,
Only who I was before.
If yesterday could see me now…
He’d tell me to want more.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Every scar…
Every lesson…
Got me here.
⸻
(Chorus)
I’d rather risk it all
Than wonder what it would’ve been.
I’d rather lose chasing dreams
Than spend my whole life wondering.
Maybe I crash,
Maybe I fly.
Either way…
I’ll know I tried.
⸻
(Bridge)
Twenty years from now…
I don’t wanna ask myself…
“What if?”
I don’t wanna wonder
If I could’ve changed my life.
I’d rather fail with a story…
Than win by standing still.
⸻
(Final Chorus)
I’d rather risk it all
Than settle for “good enough.”
I’d rather hear, “You almost made it”…
Than never test my luck.
If they remember my name…
Cool.
If they don’t…
At least I never quit.
I’d rather lose chasing something…
Than spend forever…
Chasing regret.
