I’m done runnin’ from the shadows in my mind,
I’m standin’ up, I’m takin’ back what’s mine.
I fell down, but I’m stronger from the climb,
And I won’t break now —
I’m finally gonna stand my ground.
(Aggressive, confessional, determined)
Yeah, I was lost in the dark, tryna outrun the pain,
Fightin’ battles in my head like a war in the rain.
Everybody had opinions, but they never knew the strain,
Had to learn to love myself just to loosen up the chains.
I was drownin’ in excuses, tryna justify the fear,
Lookin’ in the mirror like, “Why you still here?”
But the moment that I snapped, man, the vision got clear —
Ain’t nobody savin’ me, so I shifted the gear.
Now I’m locked in, focused, breathin’ fire again,
Turned the losses to lessons, turned the pain into wins.
I ain’t perfect, but I’m present, and I’m done with pretend —
If I gotta walk alone, then I’ll walk to the end.

(Bigger, layered vocals)
I’m done runnin’ from the shadows in my mind,
I’m standin’ up, I’m takin’ back what’s mine.
I fell down, but I’m stronger from the climb,
And I won’t break now —
I’m finally gonna stand my ground.
(Triumphant, motivational, fast flow)
Look, I ain’t lookin’ for applause, I ain’t beggin’ for a hand,
I just needed one chance, now I’m stickin’ to the plan.
Used to crumble under pressure, now I rise where I stand,
Turned the kid who was broken to a grown-ass man.
Every scar on my soul got a story behind it,
Every tear that I shed had a purpose, I find it.
I was blind to my worth, now I’m done bein’ blinded —
Had to dig through the hurt just to realign it.
Now I’m climbin’ with a fire that they can’t put out,
Every setback was a setup for a comeback route.
If you’re hearin’ this now and you’re filled with doubt,
Just know you’re stronger than the things you don’t talk about.
(Final, choir‑style, anthem energy)
I’m done runnin’ from the shadows in my mind,
I’m standin’ up, I’m takin’ back what’s mine.
I fell down, but I’m stronger from the climb,
And I won’t break now —
I’m finally gonna stand my ground.
Yeah, I won’t break now —
I’m finally gonna stand my ground.
