Lyric

Late night city breathing in my headphones

Replay all the times that I fell broke

Heart full of “you’ll never make it” echoes

But I’m still lacing up walking solo

Same streets different eyes now

Used to stare at the ground try to hide out

Every failure like a weight on my spine

Every “no” was a sign I was wasting my time

Timeline full of everybody flexing

Meanwhile I’m stuck in another lesson

Tears on the keys tryna write out the pressure

Voice in my head “you will never be better”

But somewhere in the dark I heard a rhythm

Tiny little beat in my chest kept ticking

If I’m still breathing I’m still in the race

So I picked up the pen put the pain in its place

All these scars on my story I don’t rewind

I’m done being a victim in my own mind

Step by step I’m shaping who I’ll be

Even if it hurts I’ll walk it on my feet

I’m on a road that I pave by myself

Carrying the weight of my doubts no help

Turn every breakdown into progress

Failure in my hands I’ma turn it to success

I fall then I rise that’s the process

Tears in my eyes but I still move ahead

This is my path not anybody else

On this road to success I’m my only help

Friends gone quiet when the light got dim

Guess they only stick around when you win

Screenshots of support for the highlight reel

But ghost in the chat when it’s too real

I’ve been broke I’ve been lost in comparison

Scrolling through the feed like a medicine

But every perfect picture got another side

No filter strong enough to hide that lie

So I mute all the noise let the beat talk

Ninety-four BPM that steady walk

Piano on the loop pouring out my doubt

808 in the back knocking fear out

I’m not chasing a crown that they gave me

I’m chasing the self that can save me

Even if the world don’t sing along

I’ll still write verses till I feel strong

All these scars on my story I don’t rewind

Every single setback redefined

Step by step I’m shaping who I’ll be

Even if I shake I’ll stand on my feet

I’m on a road that I pave by myself

Carrying the weight of my doubts no help

Turn every breakdown into progress

Failure in my hands I’ma turn it to success

I fall then I rise that’s the process

Tears in my eyes but I still move ahead

This is my path not anybody else

On this road to success I’m my only help

Even when the night feels endless

And every dream looks senseless

I hear a small voice whisper in the silence

“Every bruise is proof that you’re fighting”

So let the past keep burning in the rearview

Every wrong turn still brought me here too

If the future ain’t written then I got a pen

I’ll write my name in the sky again and again

I’m on a road that I pave by myself

Carrying the weight of my doubts no help

Turn every breakdown into progress

Failure in my hands I’ma turn it to success

I fall then I rise that’s the process

Tears in my eyes but I still move ahead

This is my path not anybody else

On this road to success I’m my only help

Footsteps in the dark but I won’t freeze

Each breath on the beat that’s my legacy

If I’m still here then I’m not done yet

On this road to success that I won’t regret
