PROGRESS is Bassvoid at its coldest and most confident. A trap-driven anthem built on heavy 808s, sharp hi-hats, and a rasping female voice that moans and cuts with boss-level attitude. It’s cynical, unapologetic, and addictive — a song about ambition, control, and stepping through the doors of progress on your own terms.

Lyrics:

(Yeah…)
They told me to settle, play quiet, play safe
But silence was never the move I would chase

808s rumblin’, tension high
They talk about balance, I talk about rise
They talk about comfort, I talk about PROGRESS

They build routines, neat little lives
I build empires where pressure survives
They chase approval, I’m chasin’ control
I sharpen my hunger, it’s cuttin’ my soul
Every deal, every glance, every hand that I shake
Just another step up in the path that I make
I don’t need luck, I don’t beg for chance
I walk through the door, and I own the stance

Pressure heavy, it fuels my flame
Locked-out doors still call my name
They find comfort, I find the climb
I take what’s mine, time after time

They slowin’ down, I’m movin’ ahead
Turnin’ their doubts into gold instead
Respect ain’t gifted, it’s mine to demand
I don’t wait for doors, I build with my hands
This is my rise — my vision’s clear
No ceiling above, no limit here
While they count hours, I count success
Every step forward is PROGRESS, PROGRESS

(PROGRESS… mine… higher…)

[Verse 2 – Steady flow, confident beat]
They frame their stories with ribbons and rings
I frame my story in tangible things
They call me cold, but I call it wise
Power’s a game that don’t wear disguise
Every whisper just builds my claim
Every rival just feeds my flame
I don’t chase love, I don’t chase praise
I chase the future I’m bound to raise

I don’t do favors, I don’t do small
I don’t say maybe, I take it all
Watch how I move, it’s all by design
Every closed door gon’ end up mine
I’m not your muse, I’m not your friend
I’m the beginning, I’m the end
PROGRESS written in the way I climb
You’ll quote my name when you’re outta time

They slowin’ down, I’m movin’ ahead
Turnin’ their doubts into gold instead
Respect ain’t gifted, it’s mine to demand
I don’t wait for doors, I build with my hands
This is my rise — my vision’s clear
No ceiling above, no limit here
While they close chapters, I claim success
Every step forward is PROGRESS, PROGRESS

(PROGRESS… PROGRESS… higher…)
