The Fight Never Stops

They say there's always someone better.

So prove them wrong.

I learned early that the top

Has a price nobody sees

Every victory gets smaller

When the hunger never leaves

I have watched them rise beside me

Watched them disappear

Every fighter that I passed

Left another name to fear

Isadora took the lead

Sota followed close behind

Aamu carved her way through blood

While I sharpened mine

Kaez never missed a weakness

Poppy never stood still

Vicarious kept returning

Every loss became a skill

So I learned to love the pressure

Learned to breathe inside the noise

When the room is full of killers

You don't get to lose your poise

One more fight

One more chance

One more reason

To advance

If I fall

Let me fall

I'll come back

Through it all

I won't stop

I won't break

I won't give

What I take

Every scar

Every loss

Every line

That I crossed

Made me harder

Made me colder

Made me hungry

Made me stronger

If the crown

Is what you want

COME AND TAKE IT.

I've been beaten by the better

I've been humbled by the best

I've sat alone with every failure

Till it burned into my chest

No excuses

No retreating

No pretending I was cheated

If they beat me

They deserved it

So I study

Then return

Every weakness has a pattern

Every fighter leaves a trace

Every champion eventually

Has somebody take their place

Morrow, Zwei, Vivi, Brady

Names that echo through the fight

But I don't need to hate them

I just need to be tonight

Better than I was before

Better than the one I faced

Better than the version of me

That was standing in my place

Pressure in my lungs

Fire in my blood

Never looking down

Never waiting for the luck

Every loss becomes a lesson

Every lesson becomes instinct

Every instinct becomes action

Every action gets relentless

They can take the lead

They can take the throne

They can knock me to the bottom

But they can't make me go home

Because somewhere underneath

Every doubt I ever had

There's a voice that keeps repeating:

GET BACK UP.

Maybe there is no finish

Maybe that's the point

Maybe being number one

Means protecting what you've earned

Because someone is always coming

Someone stronger

Someone faster

And tomorrow I'll be standing

Where they're standing now

So let them come.

I won't stop

I won't break

I won't give

What I take

Every scar

Every loss

Every line

That I crossed

Made me harder

Made me colder

Made me hungry

Made me stronger

If the crown

Is what you want

COME AND TAKE IT.

The fight never stops.

Neither do I.
