No way but forward

(Yeah… another day, same fight…)

I wake up, same walls, same cold light, (Damn…)

Clock’s movin’, but I swear I’m still standin’ there,

Feelin’ like a king with a broken chair. (Where’s my throne?)

Tryna climb, but the weight won’t let me rise, (Heavy…)

Voices in my head tell me “just survive.” (That ain’t livin’… nah…)

⸻

“Everything negative—pressure, challenges—is all an opportunity to rise.” (Kobe said it best…)

But what if my feet are glued to the ground again? (Tell me… tell me…)

The grind don’t stop, but my heart’s on E, (Outta gas…)

Tell me how to run when I can’t even breathe. (Somebody teach me…)

⸻

[Chorus] (Emotional, soaring, alternative R&B vibes)

“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.” (MJ wisdom…)

But tell me, how much more till I see the light? (Where’s the light?)

Every move I make just feels the same, (Repeat, repeat…)

Like I’m moonwalkin’ through all this pain. (Backwards… damn!)

(Ooooh, stuck in the motion… / I keep goin’, but I ain’t movin’…)

⸻

(Heavy sigh… here we go again…)

They say “Greatness is a lot of small things done well.” (Mamba Mentality!)

But what if every step feel like a farewell? (Goodbye to my dreams…)

I see ‘em postin’ wins, but I ain’t close,

Like I’m starin’ through the glass at a life I almost chose. (Window shopping my own dreams… crazy.)

⸻

[Bridge] (Beat slows, haunting echo vocals in the background… deep moment.)

“It’s not about talent, it’s about obsession.” (Kobe again…)

So why do I feel like I’m losin’ direction? (Why? Why?)

I don’t need a map, I need a reason,

Gotta move before my fire stops breathin’. (Burn out? Nah… never!)

⸻

[Final Chorus] (Builds up with Emotion… the turning point!)

“Rest at the end, not in the middle.” (Gotta finish strong…)

So I tell myself: there’s no way but forward. (No way… no way… but up!)

Every loss is just fuel for the game,

Ain’t no moonwalk, I’m changin’ lanes! (Full speed… let’s go!)

(Ooooh, stuck in the motion… but I keep goin’, now I’m movin’…!)

⸻

[Outro] (Fades out with layered vocals and deep whispers.)

(Mamba out… but I ain’t done yet… nah.)

(Make that change… it starts with me… yeah.)
