As we approach the end of the year, I found myself reflecting on everything 2025 has thrown at us—both the beautiful moments and the difficult ones. That reflection is exactly what inspired my Afritunes Week 194 Freestyle. This piece is deeply personal because it speaks to a reality many of us are facing: the year is closing in, but some of the goals we set at the beginning still feel far away, especially when it comes to financial growth and stability.
The truth is, life doesn’t always move at the pace we expect. Sometimes it slows down, sometimes it surprises us, and other times it tests us with pressures we never saw coming. But even in the struggle, there is a certain strength that rises from refusing to quit. That spirit of resilience—the decision to keep going even when things are tight—is what shaped the heart of this Freestyle.
While creating the song, I kept thinking about how easy it is to lose hope when progress seems slow. Yet, the very fact that we are still standing, still trying, and still believing means we haven’t been defeated. I wanted the freestyle to capture that feeling of “I’m challenged, but I’m not done.” It’s an anthem for everyone who is carrying responsibilities, fighting silent battles, and still moving forward with faith as their anchor.
I also wanted this track to remind us that God can still turn things around at any moment. The year isn’t over yet, and blessings don’t follow calendars. Sometimes breakthroughs come at the last minute. Sometimes the light shines right when we least expect it. So, this freestyle is a declaration that we haven’t given up and we still believe anything can happen.
If you’ve ever felt discouraged or pressured by life, this song is also for you. It’s a reminder that your journey is still unfolding and your story is still being written. We keep pushing. We keep praying. We keep believing. Because the same God who carried us through the year can still make us shine before it ends.
Thank you for rocking with me on this Afritunes journey. Let’s finish the year with hope, strength, and faith.
