[Intro]
Night get funky, block get loud,
Whole hood watchin’ — I still stand proud.
Heart been cracked, but I still don’t trip,
In the Bay — we don’t fold, we don’t quit.
[Verse 1]
Life hit corners like a scraper on rims,
Tryna knock me off route, but I still don’t bend.
Pockets thin, stomach talkin’, no sleep,
Still chasin’ that spark I refuse to let leak.
Pressure on chest — I eat that quick,
Bounce back heavy like a bassline hit.
Even down bad, I ain’t never alone,
Got fire in my blood, steel in my bones.
[Pre-Chorus]
If you smilin’ through the pain,
That’s a flex they can’t contain.
Every scar, every bruise,
Proof you never let ’em choose.
Hold the line, feel that thump,
Dreams don’t die — they just go numb.
In the dark, they still glow,
You just closer than you know.
[Chorus / Drop]
Don’t quit — not now,
Even when the world tryna push you down.
Don’t quit — don’t fold,
When the war in your chest turn your heartbeat cold.
You close — closer than you think,
Gold in the shadows, right there on the brink.
Hold tight — don’t slip,
This the second where the breakthrough hits.
[Verse 2]
Clouds roll in tryna dim my shine,
But storms fade quick — they ain’t stoppin’ mine.
Every weight I dragged through mud and grit
Built wings on my back, I ain’t ask for it.
Step by step, heart still knockin’,
Even doubt back up when I get to walkin’.
I ain’t lost — I’m in between
The mess and the beast I’m meant to be.
[Pre-Chorus]
Light it up, let fear burn slow,
I was built to rise — that’s all I know.
What feel like the end tonight
Is just the fuse before I ignite.
[Chorus / Drop]
Don’t quit — not now,
Even when the weight tryna drag you down.
Don’t quit — don’t bend,
When the storm in your chest start to spin again.
You close — closer than before,
Right at the edge of somethin’ more.
Hold strong — don’t slip,
This the second where the miracle hits.
[Bridge]
If you tired, breathe — don’t fold,
Pain ain’t forever, it just feel cold.
Every fight I stayed and faced
Proved I’m built with different grace.
(half-beat pause)
Look how far I came…
[Final Chorus / Drop]
Don’t quit — not now,
Hands up high, let the rage pour out.
Don’t quit — don’t bend,
I was made for moments like this, no end.
You close — feel the spark ignite,
I survived every one of them darkest nights.
Hold strong — don’t quit,
This the second where my future flips.
[Outro]
When the road get steep again,
I remember everywhere I been.
Still standin’, still alive,
Through the storm — I rise.
