[Verse 1] Clock says late I still get up Cold coffee ring On a dented cup Mama called twice I sent a text I been in the fire Still want what's next Rented room, thin walls Big dream, small bed Counted every doubt Then I counted bread They said sit down I learned move through Every slammed door Made my grip tighter too [Pre-Chorus] I been bruised up I been boxed in Still I hear gold When the night begins Hands in the dirt Eyes on the climb I don't need luck I need one more try [Chorus] Late night ambition I don't fold, I don't fold Late night ambition Watch me glow in the cold Late night ambition I been built for the race Late night ambition I'ma take my place [Verse 2] Papers on the floor Plans in red ink Had to lose sleep Just to make them blink Sneakers scuffed hard From the city steps Every failed bet I still double left My name in my phone On a note to self If I want that life I don't wait on help Dark in the mirror But my eyes stay lit I turned every scar Into a diamond hit [Pre-Chorus] I been bruised up I been boxed in Still I hear gold When the night begins Hands in the dirt Eyes on the climb I don't need luck I need one more try [Chorus] Late night ambition I don't fold, I don't fold Late night ambition Watch me glow in the cold Late night ambition I been built for the race Late night ambition I'ma take my place [Bridge] If I shake, let me shake I won't break, I won't break I been down in the dark Now I'm wide awake Say my name, say it clear I'm not here by chance I made pain work for me Now I make it dance [Final Chorus] Late night ambition I don't fold, I don't fold Late night ambition Watch me glow in the cold Late night ambition I been built for the race Late night ambition I'ma take my place Late night ambition I don't fold, I don't fold Late night ambition Watch me glow in the cold
