In the synopsis, Russ explains:
This is the final"battle" for me. Me vs me tho. I know that if
I wanna achieve self love and mastery and all those things I have to get out of my own way. I’ve been holding myself back refusing to let myself feel love and validation. I gotta let go of certain behavio...
[Intro]
Yeah (Yeah)
Ooh, Silky Santiago
Mm, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Proved it to you and I proved it to me
Yeah, I came a long way, yes, indeed
This isn't luck, this is pure perseverance
I came a long way, yes, indeed
I had my doubts, I'm ashamed to admit
But I realize now I am the one
My faith recessive, but I invested
In myself, watch me become
[Chorus]
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this), yeah
[Verse 1]
I need ultimate focus, I'm talkin' damn near hypnosis
To reach my upmost potential and fill the holes in my soul, it's
Somethin' I owe to the kid in me, didn't know he was broken
And every win for me is really givin' hope to the hopeless
The podium is my booth, I can never be silenced
And my connection with myself is my strongest alliance
Watch me elevate beyond the point you said was my highest
And I don't care if it gets dark 'cause that's when I shine my brightest, for real
[Bridge]
For real
Shit
Y'all thought
Huh
C'mon, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Proved it to you and I proved it to me
Yeah, I came a long way, yes, indeed
This isn't luck, this is pure perseverance
I came a long way, yes, indeed
I had my doubts, I'm ashamed to admit
But I realize now I am the one
My faith recessive, but I invested
In myself, watch me become
[Chorus]
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
[Verse 2]
Time and time again, I'm provin' that I can't be fucked with
I'm resilient, plus the universe is somethin' that I'm one with
To the bully in me swingin', yellin', "Yeah, right" (Yeah, right)
I beat 'em with love, I told 'em, "Yeah, right" (Yeah, right)
Gotta prove me wrong and prove myself right (Myself right)
Can't happen 'til I get myself right (Myself right)
The anxiety of it if I'm gonna make it as a whole
But in order to evolve, I gotta let go
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Proved it to you and I proved it to me
Yeah, I came a long way, yes, indeed
This isn't luck, this is pure perseverance
I came a long way, yes, indeed
I had my doubts, I'm ashamed to admit
But I realize now I am the one
My faith recessive, but I invested
In myself, watch me become
[Chorus]
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
The wind (Watch this, watch this)
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
It was you all along
It was you all along
You had it the whole time
You had it the whole time
It was you all along (You all along)
It was you all along (You all along)
You had it the whole time
You had it the whole time, whole
