What Is Winning?

Written by S.Thompson

 

Old Sam

Yo, it’s me, your darkest dream, the nightmare in your mind,

I’ve been here from the start, every step, I’ve defined.

I’m the voice that says “Quit,” when you’re tryna break free,

I’m the shadow in your soul, sayin’ “You’ll never be.”

I’ve seen you fall down, and I laughed at your pain

You’re weak, you’re fragile, you’ll never remain

You think you can change? That’s a joke, can’t you see?

You’re chained to the past, you’ll never be free.

I’m the fear in your heart, the doubt in your brain,l

Every time you rise up, I drag you down again.

You talk about hope, but I see the truth,

You’re stuck in a loop, your future’s a spoof.

New Sam

Nah, I’m not the same, that old me’s dead,

I’ve broken your chains, got you outta my head.

You fed on my fears, but now I’m fed up,

It’s time for the new me to step up and erupt.

I’ve been into prison, but I climbed out the pit,

I’ve learned from the struggle, now I’m too legit.

You thought you could own me, control every move,

But I’m stronger than ever, with something to prove.

You can’t hold me back, I’m a beast unleashed,

My future’s my own, and I’m ready to feast.

I’ve faced every challenge, and I’m still on my feet,

So take your last shot, ‘cause I can’t be beat.

Old Sam

Oh, you think you’re tough? You think you’ve won?

I’m the doubt that lingers, I’m never really done.

You might feel strong now, but I’m in your core,

I’ll be back when you’re weak, make you question once more.

You’re just a facade, a mask for the pain,

When life hits hard, you’ll call my name again.

I’ve seen ‘em all rise, just to fall back down,

And when you hit the floor, I’ll be wearing the crown.

New Sam

Nah, you don’t get it, I’m built to survive,

I’m not just living, I’m truly alive.

You had your moment, but your time has passed,

I’m carving my future, I’m free at last.

I’ve stared in the mirror, seen who I am,

I’ve faced every fear, I know I can.

You’re just a relic, a ghost in my mind,

I’m moving forward, leaving you behind.

You can try to haunt me, but I’ve seen the light,

I’m the hero of my story, I’m ready to fight.

So step back, demon, your reign’s at an end,

This is my life now, and I’m here to ascend
