Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve been clocking in on someone else’s dream,
Building their ladder rung by rung for years.
Doing what I’m told, doing what I should,
But knowing deep down I was meant for more than “good.”
I’m tired of permission, tired of the line,
Tired of trading my best hours just to survive.
There’s a voice in my chest that won’t stay quiet,
Says, “If you don’t try now, you’ll regret the silence.”
Chorus
So I’m betting on myself, placing my chips down,
No safety net, no guaranteed ground.
I don’t need perfect, I don’t need proof,
I just need movement, I just need truth.
If it’s hard, let it be hard—I’ll carry the weight,
Doing something beats waiting on fate.
Win or lose, at least I can say
I stood up and chose my own way.
Verse 2
I don’t hate the work, I hate the ceiling,
Hate ignoring that persistent feeling.
Watching time move faster every year,
Wondering why I’m still standing here.
I want to know what I’m capable of,
Not just what’s safe, not just enough.
If I fall, at least I’ll fall forward,
Chasing a future I actually ordered.
Chorus
So I’m betting on myself, no backup plan,
Just belief in these calloused hands.
I don’t need comfort, I don’t need ease,
I need to know I gave it everything.
If it’s uphill, I’ll learn the grade,
If it breaks me, I’ll be remade.
Win or lose, at least I can say
I stood up and chose my own way.
Bridge
They’ll say, “Be careful, don’t risk too much,”
But comfort never built anything tough.
I’m not chasing fame, I’m chasing peace,
The kind you earn when you finally leap.
I’d rather struggle with my name on the door
Than wonder forever what I was waiting for.
Chorus
So I’m betting on myself, heart all in,
No fear of starting, no shame in beginning.
Uncertainty’s loud, but regret is louder,
And I won’t let time be my final doubter.
Step by step, day by day,
I’ll build it honest, I’ll find my way.
Win or lose, at least I can say
I stood up and chose my own way.
Outro
This isn’t quitting, this is claiming my life,
This is choosing the fight that feels right.
If the odds are long, that’s okay with me—
I’d rather try than never see.
