Intro
Rise and grind reminder, six fifty-three Reflection in the ring light staring back at me
Verse 1
Half-eaten chicken and a laptop glow Motivational clip on two-times, volume low Talk to the mirror like a coach before a game Tell him bout the metrics, tell him bout the name "I see you" Sixty ounces logged, streak forty-seven days Blocked the social feed then checked it, same old haze Read the stoic quotes, wrote the morning pages out Then doubled back and counted what I'm still without
Pre-chorus
"stay balanced... stay balanced..." Stay balanced, one more push Stay balanced, one more push, go "push"
Chorus
Miles logged, check, dollars saved, check Screens off, check, streak held, check I am living right, I am doing the work "for who though?" I am living right, every quarter it hurts
Verse 2
Somebody posted Bali, I refreshed it twice Another person's exit year, I checked the price I'm on track, just one quarter away ROI compounds if I don't decay Nah wait, I wrote that quote, it's on the board The mirror's got a smirk like it's been keeping score Same playlist since the third week of the grind He knows the next bar before I call it mine
Pre-chorus 2
Stay balanced, one more push Stay balanced, one more push, go
Chorus
Miles logged, check, dollars saved, check Screens off, check, streak held, check I am living right, I am doing the work "for WHO though?" I am living right, every quarter it hurts
Verse 3
Cold plunge at five A.M., dopamine detox week DCA the portfolio, down eleven, peak to creek Seven tabs open: side hustle, grind, and track Unopened texts from Marcus, three weeks, no callback Sleep is just a symptom that the weak ones need The reflection's color better than the man I see Smell of cold ceramic from the shower tile His eyes clearer than mine, been a while
Bridge
"...doing the work... for who though... one more push..." It got quiet in here Like he stopped copying me
Verse 4
Mirror paused mid-motion, that ain't supposed to go He asked me something slow I hadn't thought to know "Who are you doing this for, the chart or the chest?" 808 cut to static, skipped the rest
Verse 5
Wiped the mirror, made another list Gratitude, line one, just existing in this Affirmations over the heartbeat low and numb I'm chasing peace the same way other people chase the funds "...and I know it" Lessons learned, compiled, filed under Q2
Outro
One more push...
Inside the recording
Rise and grind reminder, six fifty-three Reflection in the ring light staring back at me
"stay balanced... stay balanced..." Stay balanced, one more push
One more push...
