🔥 FACE TO FACE 🔥 [INTRO – low guitar, breath, tension | Screamer] No enemies outside. No one to blame. Just me. ⸻ [VERSE 1 – Rapper (fast, honest, driving)] I been chasing distractions just to stay numb, Pointing fingers at the world when the fault was mine, Every promise I broke to myself hit hard, Every shortcut cost me time. I knew what to do, still didn’t do it, Knew my limits, still fed excuses, Fought pressure, fought pain, fought doubt, But ducked the truth when it called me out. Same habits, different days, Same goals written, still delayed, I wanted change without the weight, But growth don’t move without pain. ⸻ [INTERRUPT – Screamer (sharp, direct)] LOOK IN! DON’T HIDE! OWN IT! ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – Trade-off] RAPPER: Every setback showed me the flaw SCREAMER: NO DENIAL! RAPPER: This is where I decide who I am SCREAMER: STAND OR FOLD! ⸻ [CHORUS – FULL BLAST | Both] SCREAMER: 🔥 FACE TO FACE — NO ESCAPE! 🔥 RAPPER: I can’t lie when it’s me I face SCREAMER: 🔥 NO MASK — NO EXCUSE! 🔥 RAPPER: Every weakness in full view SCREAMER: 🔥 BREAK HABITS — BUILD AGAIN! 🔥 RAPPER: I don’t run, I strengthen BOTH: 🔥 HARDEST FIGHT’S WITHIN! 🔥 I FACE MYSELF — AND I WIN! ⸻ [VERSE 2 – Screamer Lead / Rap Layered] SCREAMER: YOU KNOW THE COST! YOU KNOW THE TRUTH! EVERY TIME YOU QUIT — IT’S ON YOU! RAPPER (under): Discipline louder than motivation, Consistency beats inspiration. SCREAMER: NO CROWD! NO PRAISE! RAPPER: Just quiet reps and long nights paid. SCREAMER: STAY PRESENT! STAY HERE! RAPPER: Growth starts where the fear is clear. ⸻ [BREAKDOWN – Half-time, heavy] (Low chugs, breathing pauses) SCREAMER (low): WHO DO YOU ANSWER TO? RAPPER (calm): Myself. SCREAMER: THEN SHOW UP. (Drums surge back in) ⸻ [BRIDGE – Rapper (controlled, reflective)] I don’t hate who I was — I learned from him, But I won’t let old habits steer again, I don’t need perfect, I need honest days, Small wins stacked in disciplined ways. Progress slow still beats regret, Effort now beats wishing next, I stopped waiting to feel ready, I moved anyway — that’s how I steady. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – Bigger, confident (REPEAT x2)] SCREAMER: 🔥 FACE TO FACE — STAND YOUR GROUND! 🔥 RAPPER: No shortcuts left, no backing down SCREAMER: 🔥 NO LIES — NO TURNING BACK! 🔥 RAPPER: I build momentum, rep by rep SCREAMER: 🔥 OWN IT — CHANGE IT — MOVE! 🔥 RAPPER: I don’t quit when it’s uncomfortable BOTH: 🔥 HARDEST FIGHT’S WITHIN! 🔥 I FACED MYSELF — AND I CHANGED. ⸻ [OUTRO – Screamer into feedback] No excuses. No hiding. Just progress. (Final hit. Cut.)
