03: "Conqueror" — A Song About Becoming Who You Are

We share the story behind Conqueror, a song shaped by fear, grit, and a decision to remember our strength. From the first reflective bars to the final anthem, we show how identity, not approval, powers real change.

• why we wrote Conqueror from lived battles
• how fear disguises itself and how to answer it
• the shift from victim to victor as a daily practice
• the lyric themes that anchor self-belief
• the musical arc from tension to triumph
• practical ways to reclaim inner truth
• choosing identity before achievement
• using music as a tool for courage

If this song speaks to you I hope you'll check out Conqueror on Spotify or Apple Music or wherever you watch things maybe on YouTube here and let it remind you of your own power to rise above your fears

Dr. Pelè (00:05):
Welcome to Songs and Stories from the Soul, where
every melody carries a messageand every story reminds us who
we really are.
I'm Dr.
Pillet, and today I want totalk to you about a song that
comes straight from my ownpersonal battles and victories,
a song called Conqueror.

(00:27):
So let's go ahead and check outthe song and I'll talk to you
about it on the other side.
The song is called Conqueror.
It's about conquering yourfears.
You got it.

(00:48):
Come on, let's just do a boat.
Yeah.
I am a conqueror.
I conquered my fears.
I am a cacti.

(01:10):
I'm gone.
So survive by fears I'm gone.
Come with me in from the coast.
I'm gone.
I'ma get a soul trap.
I am a cacti.

(01:31):
Can nobody stop this?
I believe the bit You thoughtthat I be down and out You
probably thought I'd never winYou think it know I'd do a doubt
I finish whatever I begin Walkit with a lip cause I baby down

(01:58):
if all of those around theycould first stop baby and so How
you think they gon' stop me nowthat my favorite school grow I
am a kango to fight by the goldI'm a ghetto school dad I am a

(02:28):
guru Light time to fight bynobody's got to make I believe
it mate Just because I failedonce Don't mean I'm a failure

(02:51):
Long as I be learning I becominga fish Aid it think I'm crazy
cause I can't stop I be fightinglong after they all die I be
doing what they say I can do Ibe pointing to the sky where my

(03:12):
becomes come to the club schoolto fight by the getting so fine

(03:48):
to cut it my heart to fit I'mfine I see the sky with that oh
there's no me I am meant to bedown the world to fight for the

(04:29):
code I'm gonna get a schooljacket I get a man life time to
fight back nobody's got to makeonly that believing mate I am a

(04:52):
taking right life time to fightbetter nobody's not for me there
was a time in my life when Ifelt like everything around me
was trying to define who I wascircumstances failures opinions

(05:15):
fear but one day I realizedsomething powerful we were never
meant to live as victims ofwhat happens to us we were meant
to rise to conquer what triesto hold us down that realization
sparked this song it's not justabout winning it's about

(05:36):
remembering who we already arebecause before the fight even
begins we're already equippedwith everything we need one of
my favorite lines from thechorus goes I am a conqueror
soul survivor coming in from thecold I'm a ghetto soldier I am

(05:57):
a conqueror longtime survivorcan't nobody stop me as long as
I believe in me now I feel asthough the world is constantly
trying to tell you that you arenot enough that there's always
something else outside thatyou've got to aspire to or that

(06:19):
you've got to get permissionfrom in order to be and the idea
behind Conqueror is that we canconquer our fear fear does not
have to rule us we can riseabove it.
And so that message is theheartbeat of this song it's a
reminder that strength isn'tsomething we earn it's something

(06:43):
we remember musically the songbuilds from tension to triumph.
The groove starts in areflective space but grows into
an anthem of confidence andfaith.
It's meant to feel like avictory unfolding not because
everything is easy but becausecourage is louder than fear at

(07:07):
its core Conqueror is aboutreclaiming the truth that's been
inside of you all along youdon't need anyone to tell you
you're strong.
You already are you don't needto wait for proof you are the
proof so when life tries towhisper that you're not enough
remember you are not a victim ofyour story.

(07:29):
You are a victory you are notdefeated you are a conqueror
