[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
To build a brickyard, it's one by one, each bar
So, build it tall, build it strong, build it large
And build the base first, so reliable you could 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 with the fears that you have
Do you cower or 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 from me getting what's mine
I'll change my brain, my thoughts
A new game, new rules, my laws
Step up, slay down, a new boss
I'll be the one starting my reign 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
