[Intro] Boots by the door Ring on my hand Baby in the crib World in my plans (yeah) [Verse 1] Used to chase hype, just a kid with a pen Dreams on a screen, late nights, no end Then she said "yes," slipped gold on her skin Two lines on a stick turned boy into kin Tiny heartbeat, ultrasound glow Names on a napkin, whispering hope Rent due, gas low, pride on the rope Looked in the mirror, had to answer with scope Signed on the line, sailor in ink "Ship out in June," barely had time to think Kissed both foreheads, salt on my chin Promise on my tongue, fire in the wind [Chorus] I got purpose in my veins like blue steel running Every wave that hits just proves I'm coming For the days we prayed, for the nights we froze For my son, my wife, my goals I won't break, I won't fold, I won't give that up Turn the pain into hope when the seas get rough I'ma fight, I'ma rise till the story's told I'm a father, a husband, I’m built to win gold [Verse 2] Five AM wake, deck under my feet Letters in my locker, pictures in the sleeve Push-ups, drills, salt air in my teeth Every rep, every step, hear my boy when he breathes Crew talks home, I just stare at the sky See her eyes in the stars, hear a baby cry Every port, I remember why I try Every storm just a test I was born to survive They said "duty," I heard "destiny's call" I ain't runnin' from the weight, I’m carryin' it all From the crib to the crib-sized rack on this wall Same heart, same drive, just a different brawl [Chorus] I got purpose in my veins like blue steel running Every wave that hits just proves I'm coming For the days we prayed, for the nights we froze For my son, my wife, my goals I won't break, I won't fold, I won't give that up Turn the pain into hope when the seas get rough I'ma fight, I'ma rise till the story's told I'm a father, a husband, I’m built to win gold [Bridge] This for the nights when the doubt gets loud (yeah) For the young me lost in the back of the crowd For the kid I was, for the man I became For the last name burned in the hall of fame If I fall, I crawl, then I stand again Every setback just sharpens the will to win Tell my boy one day when he's feelin' small "Your daddy found hope when his back hit the wall" [Chorus] I got purpose in my veins like blue steel running Every wave that hits just proves I'm coming For the days we prayed, for the nights we froze For my son, my wife, my goals I won't break, I won't fold, I won't give that up Turn the pain into hope when the seas get rough I'ma fight, I'ma rise till the story's told I'm a father, a husband, I’m built to win gold (yeah)

rap, Epic hip-hop / rap-rock hybrid with male vocals; distorted guitars riding over trap-leaning drums, deep sub and crunchy live bass. Verses spit with urgent double-time pockets over tight palm-muted riffs; chorus opens huge with soaring melodic hook, gang vocals, and open crash cymbals. Bridge drops to half-time stomp and filtered guitars, then slams back in with layered shouts and octave guitars for a stadium-ready finish., rap rock, hip hop
