INTRO – spoken, beat drop quick]
Yeah
Look
Uh
⸻
[CHORUS – Polo G melodic pain, emotional but strong]
I had dreams in the dark when the lights went low
Heart full of scars but I still had hope
Pressure on my back, had to learn to grow
If God put me here, I can’t let it go
I been fightin’ sleep, chasin’ better days
Every tear fell down, turned to better ways
If I make it out, it’s all for His name
From the pain to the promise, yeah, I stayed the same
⸻
[VERSE 1 – DaBaby flow, confident, punchy bars]
Look, I don’t talk much, I move precise
Had to cut some people, cost me my price
Everybody loud till it’s sacrifice
I was prayin’ for strength, not a pair of dice
They want the glow but not the grind
Want the crown but not the time
I stayed solid, I ain’t recline
Had faith in God, had faith in mind
Step in the room, yeah, I stand on business
Came a long way from wishin’
If I say it, I did it
Ain’t no gimmick, I’m different
(Ad-libs: “Let’s go”, “Yeah”, “No cap”)
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS – switch pocket]
Lost some people on the way up
Had to learn that love ain’t enough
If He called me, then I showed up
I was built for this, I’m too tough
⸻
[CHORUS – repeat, layered vocals]
I had dreams in the dark when the lights went low
Heart full of scars but I still had hope
Pressure on my back, had to learn to grow
If God put me here, I can’t let it go
I been fightin’ sleep, chasin’ better days
Every tear fell down, turned to better ways
If I make it out, it’s all for His name
From the pain to the promise, yeah, I stayed the same
⸻
[VERSE 2 – Polo G tone, melodic storytelling]
I remember nights I was talkin’ to God
Askin’ why the road always felt so hard
Lost my peace, had to play my part
Still believed when it tore my heart
Friends turned distant, love got strange
Same old hurt, just a different pain
But the Word kept my mind restrained
Now I walk with purpose, never felt the same
I ain’t perfect, I repent and move
Faith over fear, yeah, that’s the rule
If I fall, I get back improved
Test turned message, watch God use
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – bigger, anthem feel]
Dreams got louder, I don’t hear the doubt
Every closed door showed me a route
If He brought me in, He’ll bring me out
I been built for pressure, no way I’m out
Yeah, I stayed the same
Through the hurt and rain
If they know my story
They gon’ feel this pain
⸻
[OUTRO – DaBaby-style quick talk]
Yeah
Pressure made me
Faith saved me
Let’s go
