歌詞

Morning haze paints the concrete veins

Different colors through the windowpanes

Is it somethin' changed inside of me?

Or does the weight I carry shift the scenery?

What did I lose, what did I gain on the ascent?

Knew the top was lonely, but still I wasn't prepped

Pressure from all sides, a constant, heavy pull

Wind tears at my face, ground feels forever full

Of tremors, shakin' ground beneath my stand

See the faces of the crew, they trusted in my hand

Their expectations on my shoulders, a grateful load

Or a sharp blade cuttin' deep along this road?

How many nights I spent alone, just to find the words

To push them forward, guided by what nobody else heard?

Diggin' underground, through solid rock, dirt on my palms

Body achin', no light in sight, just internal storms

Pushin' me to move, that inner voice, clear and loud

Remember listenin' to "Street Dreams" lost in the crowd

That realness saved me then, the hunger, the discontent

The power of my own voice, where my energy went

Now the real I speak is the shadow of the success I found

This is the flipside of the view I chased

The blinding light leaves shadows on my face

The price I paid for power that I hold

The weight I carry, stories yet untold

Can't stop now, gotta bear the strain, Bajo presión

Look calm outside? Yeah, that's a calculated front

Underneath the surface, a storm will always hunt

La calma bajo la tormenta, that's the state I'm in

One decision lands, can change so many lives

Can't turn away, no escape, the reality arrives

Gotta take it all in, breathe the heavy air I find

Wish I could show that hustlin' me, back in his young mind

He'd gasp at the glare, but the shadow? That's what takes the breath

Then he'd ask the question, facin' down the potential death

"Can you stand there, stand tall inside that deep dark shade?"

The answer's burned inside, a promise that was made

Can't stop now, no turnin' back, no retreat

Leadin' others means you light the path ahead

And guard their backs from dangers that are spread

Even when your own feet sink into the dark unknown

Gotta hold the torch high, gotta stand alone

Ain't just talent or good luck that sees you through the night

Gotta turn the pain to power, inner strength ignite

From the core of who you are, deep within the soul, La fuerza nace del dolor

This is the flipside of the view I chased

The blinding light leaves shadows on my face

The price I paid for power that I hold

The weight I carry, stories yet untold

Can't stop now, gotta bear the strain, Bajo presión

Every night the silence calls, dialogue with myself

Did I give my best today? Was there another path left?

Future uncertainty, a cold hand on my heart

But what chases the doubt ain't past wins, or a hopeful start

It's acceptin' what is now, the judgment call I make

On what to do next, for goodness sake

And whatever the result, acceptin' all the blame

This might be the next chapter of that "Street Dreams" game

The other real, after the vision came true and bloomed

The human core in solitude and pressure, the leader's soul consumed

These aren't lines for someone else to read and see

Just to remember the weight, to hear the voice inside of me

Only those who know the pain can feel another's ache

Only those who know the lonely path the bond you make

The struggle behind success ain't just a sacrifice you pay

It's the depth you gain as human, the truth that lights the way

To real empathy, a process you can't flee

So I carry this weight, step forward, gotta be

What I gotta be, speakin' words that only I can speak

Mi palabra, mi verdad

To see the landscape waitin', though the summit's bleak

And maybe lonely, Mi camino, solo, pero fuerte
