[Verse]
Head low, grind heavy, shadows creep steady
Echoes in the dome, voices petty, talk deadly
Cement boots in the mud, tryna hold me down
But my steps carve paths, footprints in the ground
Dreams ain’t whispers, they screams in the alley
Where the wolves play games, sharp fangs in the valley
Heart pump rebellion, veins filled with steel
Turn doubts into dust, now the grind feel real
[Prechorus]
They yell defeat, but I don't hear
Static in the noise, I disappear
[Chorus]
Head down, crown up, victory declared
Heart in the battle, ain't no fear spared
Negative shadows, they fade, they fade
Push ‘em all away, path already laid
[Verse 2]
Mountains don’t bow, so I climb with my fists
Bruised knuckles on the rock, but I never missed
Adversity my sparring partner, swinging wild
I duck, weave, counter, got the spirit of a child
World’s a gauntlet, but my armor is thick
Diversity in my veins, each color a brick
Building towers where the sun can’t reach
Planting flags on the moon, every lesson I teach
