[Intro - 1 or 2 bars, quick]
Yeah
No lights.
No noise.
Let’s work.
[Verse]
Track empty, still clocking reps
Sun ain’t up but I’m locked in steps
No camera roll, no highlight yet
Just sweat on the lane, I don’t dodge the stress
While they rest, I reload
Every doubt get used as fuel though
I don’t post pain, I progress
Build strength when the silence echoes
[Chorus - short , chant style]
Practice in the dark
Yeah, practice in the dark
No praise, no claps
Just heart, just work
Practice in the dark
Yeah, practice in the dark
By the time they see it
I already earned it
[Verse]
Cold track, warm focus
Same drills till the form’s explosive
Discipline what the doubt can’t break
I sharpen faith when the room stay vacant
No shortcuts, no skip steps
Reps on reps till I don’t miss reps
Pressure trained in advance
So when it hits, I don’t flinch, I adapt
[Chorus]
Practice in the dark
Yeah, practice in the dark
They see wins
Never saw the scars
Practice in the dark
Yeah, practice in the dark
By the time they talk
I already passed
[Verse - fast cadence, pocket flow]
Early mornings, late nights
Built calm in the chaos
While they wait on motivation
I move off discipline, pay cost
No stage, no crowd roar
Still run like it’s state finals
If the lights ever find me
I earned that moment in silence
[Bridge - spoken, quick]
No hype.
No handouts.
No excuses.
Just work.
[Final Chorus - double-time feel]
Practice in the dark
Yeah, practice in the dark
Every quiet rep
Put me far from the start
Practice in the dark
Yeah, practice in the dark
When the lights turn on
I’m already apart
[Outro]
They’ll see the result.
They won’t see the reps.
