Practice makes improvements

(Intro)

Yeah…

They told me be perfect…

But perfect don’t live here.

Practice makes improvements.

⸻

(Verse 1)

Grew up where the nights were loud, sirens in the background

Mt Druitt streets, young kid trying to act proud

Fourteen with the wrong crowd, chasing that respect

Fights in the dark just to feel some effect

They say “be a man”, never say how

Bottle up the pain, keep a straight brow

Mum’s tired, dad distant, house full of stress

Three extra siblings, life in a mess

Streets tried to shape me into a monster

Bedtime story villain, heart getting harder

But I ain’t the chapter they expected to read

I rewrote the script, planted different seeds

Now I’m in the gym before sunrise breaks

Working on the body like I’m fixing my mistakes

Therapy sessions digging deep in my mind

Disorganised past but I’m learning my design

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

They told me chase perfect, I was chasing approval

Every scar, every flaw felt super unusual

But I learned one truth when I looked in the mirror —

Perfect don’t exist, just getting clearer

⸻

(Chorus)

Practice makes improvements, not perfection

Every loss taught me a lesson

Still growing, still healing

Still chasing that better feeling

I’m not flawless, I’m human

Every scar proves I’m moving

From the chaos to the movement

Practice makes improvements

⸻

(Verse 2)

They said have a million friends, that’s the dream

But most disappear when you step on the scene

Smile in your face but they envy your shine

Clap with one hand while they cross the line

I seen jealousy dressed up as love

Seen snakes wear the mask like a glove

But I don’t hate ‘em, that’s wasted time

I focus on mine, stay locked on the climb

Now I’m a dad on the sideline cheering

Telling my boy “no fear, keep steering”

Fullback tracking when the line gets thin

Life’s like soccer — defend then win

In the workshop grinding, hands in grease

Fixing engines while I’m finding peace

OBD plugged in, codes erased

Wish life was that easy, just clear what we faced

⸻

(Bridge – Slower, deeper)

I’m not the kid that the streets designed

Not the anger that once filled my mind

Not the fear that I used to hide

I’m evolving step by step inside

From gang nights to therapy lights

From street fights to peaceful nights

From chasing perfect just to be approved

To loving progress — that’s the move

⸻

(Final Chorus – Bigger)

Practice makes improvements, not perfection

Every fall builds direction

Still growing, still healing

Still chasing that better feeling

I’m not flawless, I’m human

Every scar proves I’m moving

From the chaos to the movement

Practice makes improvements

⸻

(Outro)

Yeah…

I’m not perfect…

Never was.

But I’m better than yesterday —

And that’s enough.
