HOOK (crowd chant style)
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
Let’s go!
Came from roaches in the cabinets, cold nights, no heat
Now it’s chandeliers shining on imported concrete
Did it for the family, put the whole team on
Pressure make diamonds when the lights stay gone
Aye, aye
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
They ain't see the grind, they ain't feel the pain
Hands sore counting blessings, scars still remain
Built this with my spirit, built this with my hands
Now we stand tall where we once couldn't stand
VERSE 1 (Chicago Drill tone)
Used to hear sirens sing lullabies to the block
Mama stressing bills, eviction letters never stopped
Ramen on the stove, praying water never cut
Winter in the house, wearing coats just to tough it up
Now the marble cold but the heart still warm
Every loss I took helped a champion form
Notebook full of plans, hunger in my chest
Turned surviving every day into beating every test
Never needed favors, only faith and a grind
Every closed door taught patience and time
Stayed solid when the envy started showing its face
Now the same people tryna eat off the plate
HOOK
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
From the floor to the ceiling now the whole life changed
Hard work speak louder than a diamond chain
Pain turned purpose when the hope stayed strong
Now the world hear the voice they ignored too long
VERSE 2 (Southern Drill bounce)
Late nights plotting routes trying to reroute fate
Lost friends to the system, lost some to the hate
Pressure build character, storms build kings
Every tear watered seeds now success it brings
Stayed down when nobody would stand by my side
Had to battle inner wars just to quiet my mind
Turned every setback to a lesson to grow
Every scar proof the soul never folded or froze
Now the circle tight, loyalty rare
Everybody say they real till it's time to be there
We done seen struggle turn boys into men
Now the same pain fuel victories again
BRIDGE (melodic drill chant)
From the mud we rose
From the dark we glow
Every loss we took
Made the spirit grow
If the world turn cold
Still the fire inside
We survived the storm
Now it's time to rise
FINAL HOOK (big anthem energy)
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
Started with nothing but a dream and belief
Now the whole team eating, everybody got a seat
Did it for the struggle, did it for the past
Turn the pain into power, make the moment last
Aye, aye
Aye, aye
Had to trust the vision, had to trust the vision
Built it from the bottom, now the future clear
If they doubted back then, bet they see us here
