GRAND CHAMP

It sounds like an anthem for those who stubbornly cling to their dreams, even if they started from the very bottom. The words here are heavy, like concrete slabs, but they also become the foundation on which confidence is built: you can fall, but you cannot stop.

There is the intensity of a street manifesto and the spark of a sports stadium. The dirt under your trainers turns into medals in your imagination, and sleepless nights become part of the legend. It's all too loud, too straightforward, too honest to be taken as a pose. And that's where the strength lies: sometimes victory isn't a shiny trophy, but the ability to not run away from the stage when the spotlight hits you right in the eyes.
