[Verse]
I was new on the court, still learning the plays
Shots felt shaky but I showed up every day
Pen felt awkward, tryna find my own lane
Had a vision in my head even lost in a way
Hands in a fight, still learning my range
Missed a few swings but I stayed in the game
Controller in hand, tryna master the pace
Lost some rounds but I sharpened my aim
Songs felt messy, then my confidence changed
Then the fire in my soul erupted in flames
People talkеd but I kept my eyes straight
Lockеd on my goals, never looking away
Every wrong turn showed me what to improve
I wasn’t there yet, but I knew what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
All this pressure made me focus
Every doubt just made me notice
What I lacked I started building
Now my will is never broken
[Chorus]
Things change when I stand my ground
Things change when I don’t back down
Things change when I fight my fear
Things change when I’m still right here
[Verse]
Now I’m deep in the grind with a plan in my head
Every rep, every rhyme got me closer instead
In the gym, on the pad, on the mic every night
Turning sweat into skill, turning wrongs into right
Studying every move till my timing is clean
Breaking down every loss like a code on a screen
What was weak now is strong, what was slow now is fast
Every failure I had built the strength that I have
No more guessing my steps, now I walk with intent
Every ounce of my effort is money well spent
They can doubt all they want, I don’t answer that noise
I’m investing in me, that’s the ultimate choice
From the ground to the top I’m aware of the climb
Every second I work makes me better with time
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar made me sharper
Every loss made me smarter
I don’t run from the doubt
I just drown it out
[Chorus]
Things change when I stand my ground
Things change when I don’t back down
Things change when I fight my fear
Things change when I’m still right here
[Verse]
Now my focus unbreakable, locked in my sight
Every move that I make feel precise when I strike
What was once just a dream now is built in my hands
Every skill that I honed got me running the plans
I can step in any arena and handle the test
From the mic to the fight I’m prepared for the stress
Every hour I put in is paying me back
Now the grind in my past is the strength that I stack
I don’t fold under pressure, I rise when it’s real
Turn the doubt into drive, turn the hurt into steel
What I started for hope now I finish with pride
I don’t just survive, I control the whole ride
Sticking with it took me further than fate
Now I conquer more than I ever set out to take
[Pre-Chorus]
From the doubt to the crown
I was lost, now I’m found
I stayed true to my flame
Now things change
[Chorus]
Things change when I stand my ground
Things change when I don’t back down
Things change when I fight my fear
Things change when I’m still right here
[Chorus]
Things change when I bet on me
Things change when I finally see
Everything I was meant to be
Things change, yeah things change
