Verse 1
First day in the gym, baggy hoodie like a shield Stairs got me gasping, mirror staring back, no appeal Scroll through the feed, perfect bodies on fire Wonder if it's genetics or just the game they require
Pre-chorus
Pressure rising, quick fixes whispering lies Pills and shots promising the prize But deep down I know there's more to the fight
Chorus
I own my before, I own my after No shortcuts, just the grind that matters Sweat and tears, no fake laughter This body mine, this story, no chapter, yeah I own my before, I own my after Every rep I'm building, no disaster Progress real, no social disaster Own the change, own the master
Verse 2
See the extremes, the shots and the edits People chasing numbers, ignoring the credits Tempted by the fast lane, the easy reset But that ain't the way, that ain't my set Late nights fighting cravings, early mornings sore Friends asking questions, some mocking the core
Chorus
I own my before, I own my after No shortcuts, just the grind that matters Sweat and tears, no fake laughter This body mine, this story, no chapter, yeah I own my before, I own my after Every rep I'm building, no disaster Progress real, no social disaster Own the change, own the master
Verse 3
Months in the grind, early alarms ringing loud Sore mornings calling, social life in a cloud Plateaus hitting hard, old habits pulling back Comments from the sidelines, some support, some attack Social media screaming, the perfect lives on display Wonder if it's worth it or just another game they play
Bridge
Stopped chasing timelines, started choosing my lane Metrics that matter, energy over the fame This body ain't a trend, it's a long-term home Self-respect over the pressure, no more alone
Verse 4
Now the small wins stacking, stairs don't burn the same Clothes fitting better, strength replacing the shame No more hiding the progress pics, own every frame Grateful for the journey, no more playing the blame
Verse 5
Training with a calmer mind, cheering others on No silent competition, the grind feels like home Want the gains, want the visible proof in the light But the real flex is the balance, doing it right
Chorus
I own my before, I own my after No shortcuts, just the grind that matters Sweat and tears, no fake laughter This body mine, this story, no chapter, yeah I own my before, I own my after Every rep I'm building, no disaster Progress real, no social disaster Own the change, own the master Own it all… own the mirror
Outro
Own the before… own the after…
Inside the recording
First day in the gym, baggy hoodie like a shield Stairs got me gasping, mirror staring back, no appeal
Pressure rising, quick fixes whispering lies Pills and shots promising the prize
Own the before… own the after…
