Midnight Run
Ansu Mathew
2:43[Verse 1 – The Beginning] Started with nothin’ but blood on the street, Runnin’ uphill in worn-out sneaks. They laughed at the name, said I’d break fast— But I’m still standin’, still outlast. (Still here!) One room flat, bag on a chain, Dreams in the dark, fightin’ the pain. I didn’t ask for a crown or cheers— (Did I ever?) Just give me gloves... and my fears. [Pre-Chorus] You hear that sound? That’s the fight in my chest. A million no’s made me obsessed. I’m not born brave—nah, I was built in the sweat. So tell me—who’s scared now? (Say it!) I ain’t done yet. [Chorus – Viral Hook with Ad-libs] I’ve got a southpaw heart Beatin’ loud in the dark. (you hear it?) They said I’d fall apart Now I’m rippin’ the doubt apart. (rip it!) Punch by punch, round by round, (round 1, round 2...) From the canvas to the crown. No fame, no façade, no fear I was born to fight right here. [Verse 2 – The Climb] Every scar is a line in the map, Every loss taught me how to adapt Didn’t grow up with diamonds or keys— Just fists and fire and busted knees. They put giants in my way— (Yeah, they did!) I made ‘em blink, I made ‘em sway. It’s not the size of the man they see It’s the storm inside of me. [Pre-Chorus] You think I fold? You think I run? (You really think so?) I’ve been battling shadows since day one. Hit me once, I rise again Is that all you got, my friend? [Chorus – Bigger Energy + Group Vocals] I’ve got a southpaw heart Carved from struggle, torn apart. They said I’d fall apart— (fall where?) Now I’m rippin’ the fear apart. Step by step, blow by blow, Even legends start slow. I wasn’t born for gold or fame But I’ll bleed for this name. [Final Chorus – Anthemic End] I’ve got a southpaw heart Beatin’ loud in the dark. No odds, no past, no doubt— (uh-uh) Just me and what I’m about. From the alleys to the stars, (hands up!) This is real, these are the scars. No script, no stunt, no part— Just grit... and a southpaw heart.
