Verses are tight, mad, and confessional with male vocals half-rapped, half-muttered; chorus lifts into autotuned melodic lines and stacked harmonies.

Verse 1 (Rap)
I remember nights I was swallowing doubt
Now the air up here got a different sound
Every scar I earned put a crown on my head
Yeah, I paid my way with the things I bled
I don’t wait for doors, I push through walls
Had to learn real quick how to trust my call
They mistook my silence for weakness back then
Now they hear my name when I step right in
I been low, I been tested
I been lost in the pressure
Now I stand on it steady
Like the ground learned my measure
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need permission
I don’t need a sign
I built this vision
Brick by spine
Chorus (Dark Pop / Anthem)
I’m at the top of the world right now
Yeah, I feel it under my feet
Every doubt that was pulling me down
Turned into fuel for the heat
I’m at the top of the world somehow
Still me, just harder to break
I didn’t wait for the crown
I made it mine on the way
Verse 2 (Rap)
I move different when I enter the room
Not loud, just certain, nothing to prove
They chasing moments, I’m building time
Every step I take got a purpose behind
I don’t flex for applause or eyes
I flex for the kid who was barely alive
Who thought being strong meant never feeling pain
Now I know it means standing tall anyway
I don’t fear the fall
I survived the ground
That’s why I rise
Without looking down
Pre-Chorus
I don’t borrow faith
I generate mine
What I became
Was self-designed
Chorus
I’m at the top of the world right now
Yeah, I feel it under my feet
Every doubt that was pulling me down
Turned into fuel for the heat
I’m at the top of the world somehow
Still me, just harder to break
I didn’t wait for the crown
I made it mine on the way
Bridge (Half-Sung / Half-Rap)
This ain’t luck, this is focus
This is nights no one saw
This is standing when quitting
Would’ve been easier by far
I don’t need them to see it
I don’t need them to agree
If I stand in my power
That’s enough proof for me
Final Chorus
I’m at the top of the world right now
Yeah, I earned every breath
If they wonder how I got this high
Tell them I climbed through the rest
I’m at the top of the world, no doubt
And I’m staying awake
I didn’t wait for the crown
I made it mine on the way
