[Verse 1]

It's long days, long nights, no aid, this is my fight

A small cage, but a big hype, all's at stake, it's my time to shine

Yeah, I'ma train hard, mistakes turn into learned scars (Learned scars)

To build a brickyard, it's one by one, each bar (Each bar)

So, build it tall, build it strong, build it large (Built it large)

And build the base first, so reliable, you could reach the stars (Reach the stars)

[Pre-Chorus]

Lights so bright, I can feel the rays

My lungs feel tight, I can barely breathe

Sleepless nights, waiting for the day

I wanna be strong, wanna be brave

Bloody hands wrapped, covered up in tape

I might not be the best, but I never break

I will not surrender, I am a contender

I gotta be strong, gotta be brave

[Chorus]

Lights so bright, I can feel the rays

My lungs feel tight, I can barely breathe

Sleepless nights, waiting for the day

I wanna be strong, wanna be brave

Bloody hands wrapped, covered up in tape

I might not be the best, but I never break

I will not surrender, I am a contender

I gotta be strong, gotta be brave

[Verse 2]

There's moments in time where you gotta step up

Be courageous and grind, when you come face to face (Grind, grind)

With the fears that you have do you cower or shine? (Shine, shine)

Today is the day, make a change to my life

I think it's about time, I won't let fear hold me back anymore (Time, time)

From me getting what's mine, I'll change my brain, my thoughts (Getting what's mine, my thoughts)

A new game, new rules, my laws, step up, slay down (My laws)

A new boss, I'll be the one starting my reign up at the top (A new boss, up at the top)

[Pre-Chorus]

Lights so bright, I can feel the rays

My lungs feel tight, I can barely breathe

Sleepless nights, waiting for the day

I wanna be strong, wanna be brave

Bloody hands wrapped, covered up in tape

I might not be the best, but I never break

I will not surrender, I am a contender

I gotta be strong, gotta be brave

[Chorus]

Lights so bright, I can feel the rays

My lungs feel tight, I can barely breathe

Sleepless nights, waiting for the day

I wanna be strong, wanna be brave

Bloody hands wrapped, covered up in tape

I might not be the best, but I never break

I will not surrender, I am a contender

I gotta be strong, gotta be brave
