ENCORE
They said the show was over...
That the curtain came down a long time ago.
But I never left the stage.
Half my life is a long time to carry what I've carried
Every scar, every surgery, every dream I almost buried
I remember when they told me that the best days were behind
That the body breaks eventually and the clock is never kind
But something in me wouldn't let the credits roll that way
Something in me heard the music and it made me want to stay
Not for glory, not for trophies, not to prove somebody wrong
Just to feel what it feels like to remember you were strong
And I know that sounds simple — like it shouldn't be enough
But when you've been through what breaks most people? Simple things are tough
Getting up is tough. Believing is tough. Showing up when nobody's watching —
That's the realest thing I've done, and I wouldn't trade it for nothing
So if this is the last song — let it breathe, let it burn
Let it carry every lesson that I had to bleed to learn
One more round — that's all I ever needed
One more chance to prove I'm not defeated
Every fall, every fire, every fight that tried to end me
Just made the encore louder — can you hear me?
I came back for the ones who said I couldn't
I stayed for the ones who said I shouldn't
And I'd do it all again — every scar, every lesson
This is my encore — my final confession
I've been the underdog and I've been the last one standing
I've been the one they pitied and the one they stopped demanding
I've been so far behind the pack I couldn't see the dust
But I kept putting one foot forward 'cause the quit in me went bust
And yeah — the critics had their season, had their moment in the sun
Talking loud about the things I'd never be and never become
But the beautiful thing about an encore is the timing and the proof
That the person they counted out was counting on the truth
That broken doesn't mean finished, that wounded doesn't mean weak
That the ones who stay the quietest are the dangerous ones to beat
So this verse is for the grinders — for the ones still in the gym
At midnight with the lights off, fighting battles from within
One more round — that's all I ever needed
One more chance to prove I'm not defeated
Every fall, every fire, every fight that tried to end me
Just made the encore louder — can you hear me?
I came back for the ones who said I couldn't
I stayed for the ones who said I shouldn't
And I'd do it all again — every scar, every lesson
This is my encore — my final confession
This isn't about winning anymore.
It's about standing in the fire and choosing not to move.
It's about looking at everything that tried to break you...
And saying — "Thank you. You made me what I am."
So here I stand — end of the road, beginning of the legend
Twenty tracks deep and every single one of them a weapon
From Harder To Kill to right here, right now, this moment
Every bar was a brick and this is the atonement
For every time I quit on myself before I learned to fight
For every time I let the darkness win instead of chasing light
This is the payoff — not the trophy, not the stage, not the crown
It's the man in the mirror finally not backing down
And to everyone who rode with me through every single track
Who felt the bars hit different 'cause they lived it front to back
This was never just for me — this was always meant for you
The proof that encore energy lives in everything you do
Twenty songs.
Every scar on the table.
And I'm still here.
The show's over.
...but I'll never stop.
