I'm a father, a son, a mister
Every word got a pulse, every bar got a bone
I've been walking through the silence with the real ones high
Where the truth don't shine, it just learns to survive
They told me keep it simple, I made it complex
Pain turned poetry, nihilism my chest
I don't flex for the crowd, I reflect in the dark
Every scar got a story, every beat got a mark
I see dreams fall apart like a house made of sand
Watch loyalty fade quicker than lines in your hand
So I trust in the moment, not the words that they say
'Cause the loudest voices usually drift away
I've been building my soul like a gold in the night
Every error I made just correcting my sight
Now I move with intention, every step calculated
No love for illusions, I'm done being faded, yeah, I came from the—
Face where the silence was loud
Where you smile in the light but you bleed in the crowd
Where the ones you forgot don't stay when you fall
And the echo of real doesn't mean it at all
So I learned how to stand with my back to the wall
Turn the pain into rhythm, now I'm owning it all
No chains on my mind, I broke out of the cage
Now my thoughts hit harder every time I engage
Don't chase validation, I just chase what is true
They don't understand and it's not for their view
It's a deep-end music, it's a war in my brain
Every verse like a bullet, every hook like a chain
And I'm still moving silent but the impact is loud
I don't need their applause, I'm not built for the crowd
I'm a product of pressure, yeah, I came from the low
Now I rise like a shadow that they never could know
So don't talk about—
