Lyrics
No shortcuts. No refunds. I don’t tell the story loud, I tell it right Some nights took more from me than they gave me life Every plan had dents, every win had weight Every smile learned how to wait I didn’t rise clean, I climbed hurt Hands still shaking when it finally worked If you only see me standing tall You missed the part where I crawled Nothing about this was easy Nothing came free If I look calm now It’s what it cost me Nothing about this was easy I paid in real I don’t explain it I let it feel Pressure don’t leave, it trains you Pain don’t ask, it claims you I kept going when the math said quit When belief felt counterfeit I lost sleep, lost friends, lost time Still showed up on the dotted line I ain’t proud of every scar I keep But I won’t lie about what it took to breathe Nothing about this was easy Nothing came free I don’t defend it I let it be I don’t celebrate it I inventory it Count what I lost just to stand in it If I sound calm now That’s discipline That’s learning how not to panic in it Some truths don’t shout They sit Heavy And wait to be lived with If it looks simple now It’s because it already happened Because the weight already landed Because I already paid it I’m not explaining scars I’m explaining survival Nothing about this was easy (don’t confuse it) Nothing came free (not a thing) If I look calm now It’s what it cost me Nothing about this was easy (still standing) I paid in real I don’t explain it I let it feel Survival doesn’t shine. It settles.
