Title: Quiet Victories
(Intro)
Yeah…
They only celebrate the loud wins
This one’s for the quiet ones
(Verse 1)
They don’t clap when you choose peace over pride,
Or when you walk away from wars inside
They only love the shine, never ask what it cost,
Never count the nights where your faith felt lost
I seen success turn friends into strangers quick,
Seen loyalty bend when the numbers get big
Every bar I write come from learning restraint,
‘Cause power ain’t rage — it’s control over pain
(Chorus)
These quiet victories don’t come with a crown,
No cameras roll when you put your demons down
But every step forward when nobody sees,
That’s a win to me, yeah, a win to me
These quiet victories don’t shine like gold,
But they keep your heart warm when nights get cold
If you still stand tall when the world disagree,
That’s a win to me, yeah, a win to me
(Verse 2)
I had to unlearn things they taught me to chase,
Like validation from a stranger’s embrace
I confused being busy with being fulfilled,
Confused being numb with being strong-willed
The hustle had me running with no finish line,
Every goal reached still felt behind.
So I slowed my breath, let my spirit talk,
Turns out growth ain’t loud — it’s a patient walk.
(Verse 1)
They don’t clap when you choose peace over pride,
Or when you walk away from wars inside.
They only love the shine, never ask what it cost,
Never count the nights where your faith felt lost
I seen success turn friends into strangers quick,
Seen loyalty bend when the numbers get big
Every bar I write come from learning restraint,
‘Cause power ain’t rage — it’s control over pain
(Chorus)
(Outro)
I measure progress by the way I react,
When life throw curves and I don’t snap back
By the love I give when it ain’t returned,
By the lessons kept from the bridges I burned
If I break generational pain in my blood,
That’s deeper than money, deeper than love
So when they ask what I gained from the climb,
I say “my peace” — yeah, that’s mine
Not every win need applause
Some just need honesty
