Still Climbing

Yeah…

They said slow down, I said hell no

Dreams too big for a comfort zone

Came from the bottom with my head low

Now I’m lookin’ at the top like “let’s go”

⸻

I was starvin’ for a life they never pictured me in

Empty pockets, but my mind full of vision and sin

Every night talkin’ to God, askin’ Him to forgive me

‘Cause the road that I was walkin’ wasn’t lookin’ too pretty

Had doubts in my chest, had pain in my bones

But I told myself, “You gotta do this on your own”

Everybody got opinions when you stuck in the mud

But they silent when you bleedin’ and you losin’ your blood

So I turned every loss into fuel for the fire

Told myself every day, “You was built for higher”

They told me “chill,” I said “nah, I’m obsessed”

Dreams cost sleep, but I paid that debt

⸻

I been chasin’ my dreams like I owe ‘em my soul

Tryna make it to the top, yeah, that’s my only goal

They said slow down, I said “fuck that”

Ain’t no Plan B, I can’t run back

And when I make it, I ain’t stoppin’ my grind

‘Cause the hunger in my heart never fallin’ behind

I been built for the pressure, built for the pain

Tryna turn every loss into permanent gain

⸻

Late nights, early mornings, same routine

Tryna touch a life they said I’d never see

Had friends turn fake when the vision grew

Funny how they switch when they see it’s true

I done sacrificed peace for the future me

Turned pain into power, that’s the blueprint, see

Ain’t nobody comin’ to save my lane

So I drove through the storm in the middle of rain

I lost sleep, lost time, lost some friends

But I gained real purpose from within

And I ain’t mad at the scars on my skin

They just proof of the war that I had to win

⸻

I been chasin’ my dreams like I owe ‘em my soul

Tryna make it to the top, yeah, that’s my only goal

They said slow down, I said “fuck that”

Ain’t no Plan B, I can’t run back

And when I make it, I ain’t stoppin’ my grind

‘Cause the hunger in my heart never fallin’ behind

I been built for the pressure, built for the pain

Tryna turn every loss into permanent gain

⸻

If I fall, I bounce back harder

Life tried breakin’ me, made me smarter

This ain’t luck, this faith and grind

I bet on myself every single time

⸻

Yeah, I’m still climbin’, still reachin’ for more

Still kickin’ down every locked damn door

Top of the world, I still won’t chill

‘Cause the dream don’t die when you pay that bill

I came too far just to let it go

I believed in myself, now I’m stealin’ the show

Yeah, I’m here now — let the whole world know…

I chased my dreams… and I’m never movin’ slow.
