[Verse]
Mirror cracked, dreams scattered on the floor
Tried to piece 'em back, but they askin' for more
Chasin' shadows, city lights burnin' slow
Heart heavy, but my hustle never says no
[Prechorus]
Tides pull me under, I swim to the glow
Every stumble just ammo, reload
[Chorus]
Be persistent, never fold, never quit
Fire in my veins, every spark, every hit
Be persistent, keep on climbin' that cliff
Turn the pain into gold, watch me flip, watch me lift
[Verse 2]
Nightmares whisper, but I laugh in their face
Run the marathon, this ain't no sprintin' race
Cut from a cloth they can't tear or replace
Blueprints in my head, all the steps I retrace
[Bridge]
Every "no" a staircase, I climb it in heels
Made of iron, these scars, all the proof that I feel
Pressure cookin', diamonds form in the steel
I’m the truth in the game, not the hype, not the deal
[Chorus]
Be persistent, never fold, never quit
Fire in my veins, every spark, every hit
Be persistent, keep on climbin' that cliff
Turn the pain into gold, watch me flip, watch me lift
