(Intro)
(low piano, static, heartbeat bass)
Yeah…
This ain’t a dream no more…
This shit a gamble…
(Verse 1)
I got a vision in my head but it feel like a curse,
Every step that I take just be making shit worse,
Like the world got a plan and it ain’t what I chose,
Tryna lock me in a life that I already outgrew,
They don’t see what I see when I’m deep in the dark,
Got a fire in my chest, got a map in my heart,
But that doubt talk loud, yeah it scream in my brain,
Sayin “you gon’ lose it all, you ain’t built for this pain,”
Man that fear hit deep, got me stuck in between,
Who the fuck I am now and who I’m meant to be,
But I can’t turn around, I done came too far,
Even if this shit crash, I’ma die for it all,
(Hook)
(melodic, strained, emotional grit)
If it cost me everything… I’ma still go,
Even if I lose it all, fuck a “hell no,”
Yeah the fear in my chest but it won’t control,
I was built for the fight, I was made for this road,
If it cost me everything… let it take it,
I ain’t running from the dream, I’ma chase it,
Yeah I might lose my mind, I might break,
But I won’t lose myself tryna play shit safe,
(Verse 2)
Every night wide awake with the weight on my soul,
Got the past talkin’ shit, got my future on hold,
If I fail, I don’t just fall, I collapse,
Take everybody with me, ain’t no comin’ back,
That pressure don’t break me, it sharpen my blade,
I been cut by the doubt, now I’m carving my name,
Man I tried being safe, tried living that lie,
But that shit feel worse than just failing and dying,
So I step in the fire, let it burn what I fear,
If I make it out alive, then I know why I’m here,
If I don’t… fuck it, I gave all that I got,
I ain’t living half a life, I’ma give it my shot,
(Bridge)
(beat drops, raw, almost talking)
What if I lose?
What if I fall?
What if I give everything… and it’s nothing at all?
(pause… breath… tone shifts darker)
What if I win?
What if I rise?
What if this pain just been feeding the beast inside?
(Hook)
(full energy, layered, aggressive emotion)
If it cost me everything… I’ma still go,
Even if I lose it all, fuck a “hell no,”
Yeah the fear in my chest but it won’t control,
I was built for the fight, I was made for this road,
If it cost me everything… let it take it,
I ain’t running from the dream, I’ma chase it,
Yeah I might lose my mind, I might break,
But I won’t lose myself tryna play shit safe,
(Outro)
(piano, static fading)
I ain’t scared of losing it all…
I’m scared of being a bitch and never trying…
Yeah…
That’s the real fear…
Never give up...
Ever
