Story Behind The Song

Headed to the Top. Nobody slowing me down. I've put in all the hard work.

Lyrics

[Intro - Smooth Synths + Snap Beat]
Yeah...
This one's for the dreamers, the movers, the go-getters.
Jace Monroe.

[Verse 1]
Late nights, early flights, I've been on my grind,
Every scar, every doubt, left it all behind.
They said I couldn't do it -- now they watch me shine,
'Cause faith hit different when it's your own time.

City lights in the mirror, I can see my fate,
I was patient with the pressure, now I'm feeling great.
Every "no" that I heard just raised the stakes,
Now the whole world's watching every move I make.

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, they tried to hold me down,
But I found my way somehow.
Ain't no ceilings, ain't no chains,
Can't stop destiny when it calls your name.

[Chorus - Anthem Drop]
I'm headed to the top, can't slow me down,
Been through the storm, now I wear the crown.
I put the work in, I earned my sound,
Now they singin' my name all over town.

?? I'm headed to the top, can't fade my drive,
Energy like lightning, feel so alive.
From the ground to the clouds, I'm in my prime,
Yeah, this moment right here -- it's mine.

[Verse 2]
I remember dark days, no cash, no sleep,
Now I'm living in the vision that I used to dream deep.
Every loss taught me how to keep the faith,
Now I move with a purpose they can't erase.

Champagne goals, R&B soul,
Every beat I touch, I make it gold.
Yeah, the glow-up's real, you can feel the vibe,
When you're built from the struggle, you don't need to hide.

[Pre-Chorus]
They can talk, let 'em talk, I don't mind,
Every hater's just a fan out of line.
See, I'm too blessed to stress, too fly to fake,
I'm the storm and the calm after the break.

[Chorus - Full Power]
I'm headed to the top, can't slow me down,
Been through the storm, now I wear the crown.
I put the work in, I earned my sound,
Now they singin' my name all over town.

?? I'm headed to the top, can't fade my drive,
Energy like lightning, feel so alive.
From the ground to the clouds, I'm in my prime,
Yeah, this moment right here -- it's mine.

[Bridge - Smooth Breakdown / Falsetto]
No shortcuts, I paved the way,
Dreams don't sleep, they call your name.
From the basement to the bright stage lights,
I'm the proof that wrong turns still lead you right.

[Final Chorus - Anthem Outro]
Headed to the top, no looking down,
King of my lane, I run this town.
They doubted the vision, but look at me now,
Every move I make, heaven's proud.

?? Headed to the top, can't fade my drive,
Energy like lightning, feel so alive.
From the ground to the clouds, I'm in my prime,
Yeah, this life right here -- it's mine.

[Outro - Soft Fade]
Yeah...
From the struggle to the sky,
Keep rising, keep shining -- never let 'em dim your light.
Jace Monroe.
