Finally Winning

Yeah…

A lotta nights they counted me out…

Now look…

Everything they said I couldn’t do… I did.

⸻

Used to sit up late, wonder if the pain meant somethin’

Now I look around, every loss turned into somethin’

They laughed when I said I’d make a way

Now them same people watchin’ every move I make

I came from doubt, built faith from scratch

Took every scar and I made that match

With every dream they said wouldn’t land

Now I’m standin’ here with it all in my hands

Mama look at me with tears in her eyes

Like she knew one day I’d silence lies

Family call different, voices full of pride

That alone made every dark night right

And my girl stayed solid through every phase

Through broke days, stress, and cloudy days

Now I can finally look at her and say

“Baby, we made it — we good today”

⸻

I’m finally winnin’, yeah, tell ‘em I’m up now

All that pain turned gold somehow

They talked down, now they too quiet

Funny how success start riots

I made my people proud, that’s all I need

Now every hard night got purpose to me

Tell the world I ain’t losin’ again

I took my losses and learned to win

⸻

I remember days when the money stayed low

Still told myself one day I’d glow

Had to move smart, had to trust less

Too many fake smiles around success

Some people switched when I stayed focused

Now they act like they never doubted my motives

But I remember every joke, every laugh

Every time they thought I wouldn’t last

Now my girl post me like she proud as hell

Sayin’ “you deserve every win as well”

And that hit deeper than money ever could

‘Cause love feel different when life get good

I ain’t flexin’, I’m just bein’ honest

I survived nights that almost stopped this

Now I breathe better, think clear, stand tall

Like maybe I was built for all of this after all

⸻

I’m finally winnin’, yeah, tell ‘em I’m up now

All that pain turned gold somehow

They talked down, now they too quiet

Funny how success start riots

I made my people proud, that’s all I need

Now every hard night got purpose to me

Tell the world I ain’t losin’ again

I took my losses and learned to win

⸻

Ain’t no better feelin’ than hearin’ “we proud of you”

After all the nights you almost gave up too

Now I see why I had to go through hell

Some stories only hit when you live them well

⸻

So if they ask how I made it through

Tell ‘em pain taught me what to do

Tell ‘em family kept my name alive

Tell ‘em love helped me survive

And tell every hater still watchin’ close…

I’m still risin’.

And I ain’t done.
