[Intro] Back against the wall Breath stuck in your throat Life swingin' on us all Tell me what you want most (hey!) [Verse 1] Backpack, one pair of shoes Bills due, plus bad news Mama prayin' in the next room I been tryna outrun gloom Cut checks just to cut stress Still feel that weight on my chest Every L tryna teach me somethin' Every scar just keeps on thumpin' Phone ring, it's more demand Whole world tryna take my hand Pull me down where the dark sits But my heartbeat barkin' Look in the mirror like, "Who you?" "Victim, or the one that push through?" Every doubt tryna cloud my view But I only got one move [Chorus] When your back's against the wall Are you gonna be the one to fall? (nah) Life pushes, tryna crush us all What you gonna do when it calls? (when it calls) When your back's against the wall Will you crack or will you stand tall? In these times when we must stand strong Tell me who you are when it's on [Verse 2] Rent late, lights might fade Still tryna keep my faith straight Friends vanish when the sky break Funny how they all migrate Dad said, "Son, storms come fast Every test show you what you have" So I write pain in a small pad Turn every doubt to a war plan I know fear wanna own my name Wanna tag me with old shame But I climbed out cold rain Just to say I won't fold again Closed doors? I'ma kick those Thin ice? I'ma tiptoe Whole world on my backbone Still rise like the past gone [Chorus] When your back's against the wall Are you gonna be the one to fall? (stand up) Life pushes, tryna crush us all What you gonna do when it calls? (when it calls) When your back's against the wall Will you crack or will you stand tall? (stand tall) In these times when we must stand strong Tell me who you are when it's on (when it's on) [Bridge] Pressure on ten, heart on fire This the line between truth and liar This the stretch where the weak get tired Where the real ones rise higher (rise higher) [Chorus] When your back's against the wall Are you gonna be the one to fall? (no way) Life pushes, tryna crush us all What you gonna do when it calls? (answer that) When your back's against the wall Will you crack or will you stand tall? In these times when we must stand strong Show me who you are when it's on (when it's on)

rap, Hard-hitting boom-bap with modern trap edges, male vocals. Tight, punchy drums and deep bass, sparse eerie piano stabs. Verses in a close, urgent pocket; hook opens wider with stacked, shouted ad-libs. Occasional filtered drops before the chorus for impact, crisp doubles on key punchlines.
