[Verse]
Head down, tunnel vision, negative voices background noise,
Heart pounding like a jackhammer, kid, I'm bringing the noise.
They whisper defeat, I whisper back victory, victory, victory,
Push through the static, the panic, the gravity dragging me.
Diversity ain't a curse, it's the fuel in my furnace burning,
Every setback a setup, every loss got me learning.
[Prechorus]
Voices in my head screaming quit, quit, quit,
I'm screaming louder—I ain't finished with this.
[Chorus]
Head down, heart up, that's the mantra, that's the motion,
Head down, heart up, riding waves through the ocean,
Defeat got no claim on my soul, nah, nah,
Head down, heart up—I already won.
[Verse 2]
Adversity knocking, I'm answering doors with a middle finger,
Competition getting colder but my fire just gets bigger, bigger.
MPFC locked in, metal in my spine, spine, spine,
Pressure make diamonds and I'm shining this time.
Ain't no room for doubt, doubt, doubt in this chamber,
Push the fear out, fear out—make it a stranger.
Victory declared 'fore the whistle blow, let's go, let's go,
Head down grinding while my spirit aglow.
[Bridge]
They said I couldn't, I could,
They said I shouldn't, I would,
Heart in it deep like the roots of a tree,
Pushing through thunder and rain to be free.
[Chorus]
Head down, heart up, that's the mantra, that's the motion,
Head down, heart up, riding waves through the ocean,
Defeat got no claim on my soul, nah, nah,
Head down, heart up—I already won.
