Lost Before I Won

Описание: “Lost Before I Won” isn’t just a song — it’s a testimony.
A raw, cinematic anthem about the quiet years no one applauds, the hunger no one posts, and the scars that never make the highlight reel.
This record lives in the space before the crown — when belief is thin, bills are loud, and survival itself feels like a full-time job. Every bar is earned. Every hook is built from pressure. From cold kitchen floors to sold-out moments, this is the sound of resilience becoming royalty.
The verses pull you into the struggle with unfiltered honesty. The chorus rises like an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, underestimated, or written off — only to keep going anyway. There’s no luck myth here. Just tears, time, discipline, and the courage to keep moving when the map disappears.
This is for the ones who walked through hell quietly.
For the ones who paid in pain before they ever got paid in applause.
For the ones who were lost before they won.

Every crown has a backstory.
This one tells the truth.

[Intro]
Yeah…
They see the crown, never the cuts
Hear the roar, never the hush
I was broke in my spirit before I was rich in my name
Listen…

[Verse 1]
Cold nights, bare feet on the kitchen tile
Dreams heavy, stomach empty, still I smiled
Mama said “baby, don’t let this place decide ya”
But the block had a voice, and it tried to divide us

Trust was thin like the soles of my shoes
Every “love you” came with conditions and rules
I learned silence from doors getting slammed
And patience from waiting my turn with my hand out again

Sleep with the light on, fear in my chest
Bills on the table, hope under stress
They called it luck when I made it out alive
But luck don’t bleed just to see tomorrow rise

[Pre-Chorus]
I paid my dues in tears and time
Every scar was a dotted line
Signed my name with pain and truth
I was lost before I won—now look at you

[Chorus]
I was lost before I won
Yeah, I walked through hell with my head held numb
No map, no help, just a heart on run
I was lost before I won

From the dirt to the throne, from the nights to the sun
Every tear turned gold when the fight was done
Say my name when the anthem come on
I was lost before I won

[Verse 2]
Fake love loud when the lights came on
Same ones gone when the money was gone
They wanna eat off the plate I made
But never touched the stove where the hunger stayed

I learned power from saying “no”
And strength from letting some people go
Had to bury my fear just to breathe again
Turned every “can’t” to a dividend

Diamonds talk but they came from pressure
Same way queens are born from lesser
They see a boss, I see survival
Every mirror match was a title rival

[Pre-Chorus]
I paid my dues in tears and time
Every scar was a dotted line
Signed my name with pain and truth
I was lost before I won—now look at you

[Chorus]
I was lost before I won
Yeah, I walked through hell with my head held numb
No map, no help, just a heart on run
I was lost before I won

From the dirt to the throne, from the nights to the sun
Every tear turned gold when the fight was done
Say my name when the anthem come on
I was lost before I won

[Bridge] (Half-time, emotional)
If I could talk to the girl I was
I’d say “don’t quit, you enough, you tough”
Every closed door was a test of faith
Every delay was a sharper blade

Now I stand where the doubt can’t reach
Same scars, new air when I breathe
They love me now, but I been that one
I was lost before I won

[Final Chorus]
I was lost before I won
Came up bruised, still became someone
Turned my wounds to a loaded gun
I was lost before I won

From the gutter to the glow, hear the crowd go dumb
This ain’t luck, this is life well-spun
When they play this back, remember one
I was lost before I won

[Outro]
Yeah…
Every crown got a backstory
Every victory got a memory
I was lost…
Before I won
