[Intro] Yeah… Long nights taught me things daylight never could, Every wrong turn still pushed me where I should, I was asking for more, didn’t know the cost, Now I see the lesson in everything I lost. [Hook] What if the weight made my backbone strong, Every delay was guiding me along, I asked for a throne, not knowing the load, Now the load made me solid, now I’m built for the road. What if the pain was part of the deal, Pressure shaping everything I feel, I didn’t break, I adjusted my aim, Everything I walked through carved my name. [Verse 1] Started with hope and a pocket too light, Dreams on my mind every restless night, People said wait, I heard move instead, Learned real quick how to think ahead. I asked for progress, got tested hard, Every open scar left a calling card, Lost some trust, lost some friends, But I gained the sight to see fake ends. When it hurt the most, that’s when I grew, Had to stand alone just to see what’s true, I wanted respect, had to earn my space, Had to face myself face to face. [Hook] What if the weight made my backbone strong, Every delay was guiding me along, I asked for a throne, not knowing the load, Now the load made me solid, now I’m built for the road. What if the pain was part of the deal, Pressure shaping everything I feel, I didn’t break, I adjusted my aim, Everything I walked through carved my name. [Verse 2] Street taught lessons school never said, Who stays quiet, who talks instead, I wanted success, had to learn restraint, Not every blessing comes wrapped in paint. Short roads tempting, shining bright, But I seen too many lose that fight, So I took the long way, step by step, Built real strength with the cards I kept. They see confidence, think it came fast, Don’t see the nights fighting my past, I asked for growth, it stretched my skin, Now pressure don’t scare me, I wear it in. [Bridge] Heavy dreams don’t come light, You earn your future in the silent fights, If you still standing, you still in line, That means the struggle ain’t wasting time. [Verse 3] Now I move calm, no rush, no fear, Seen enough storms to see things clear, I know who I am without the shine, Met my strength in the hardest times. I don’t complain what I went through, Every scar taught me what to do, I asked for more than a simple life, So I learned how to carry the weight just right. [Hook] What if the weight made my backbone strong, Every delay was guiding me along, I asked for a throne, not knowing the load, Now the load made me solid, now I’m built for the road. What if the pain was part of the deal, Pressure shaping everything I feel, I didn’t break, I adjusted my aim, Everything I walked through carved my name. [Outro] So when it’s heavy, don’t question why, You asked for the view, that’s a higher climb, Everything you facing ain’t random at all, It’s building the version that won’t fall.
