No Borrowed Lane

Yeah, count it in

No borrowed lane, no borrowed name

Came through the side door, keys in my palm

Cold cup on the counter, still keeping calm

They want the quick route, I mapped every turn

Put a match to the doubt, let the lesson burn

Old shoes on the pavement, new weight in the step

I don't talk about the climb, I just show what is left

Every no got filed, every loss got a date

Now the room goes quiet when I walk through the gate

I been up, up, up, no ceiling in sight

Turn the pressure into fuel, make the dark feel bright

If you came for the crown, better come with a plan

I was built from the ground, now I stand where I stand

Up, up, up, let the whole block know

Made a road out of rubble, now I'm ready to go

No pause, no plea, no hand on the wheel

When I say it's my season, you know that it's real

Phone face down, I don't bargain with noise

Had to cut a few ties just to sharpen the choice

They were counting my steps, I was counting the cost

Found a map in the mess, found a win in the loss

Black ink on the notebook, red line through fear

Put the goal on the wall, kept the target near

Now the bass in the room got the floor on tilt

I don't need their approval for the house I built

Tell me who can take the weight and stay composed

Tell me who can face the gate when it stays closed

I learned patience from the days that moved slow

Now I strike when the moment says go

I been up, up, up, no ceiling in sight

Turn the pressure into fuel, make the dark feel bright

If you came for the crown, better come with a plan

I was built from the ground, now I stand where I stand

Up, up, up, let the whole block know

Made a road out of rubble, now I'm ready to go

No pause, no plea, no hand on the wheel

When I say it's my season, you know that it's real

No borrowed lane

No borrowed name

Still moving forward

Remember the frame
