Heat don't sleep

Night crawls in but I rise on flame

Built from the hurt, not a drop of shame

Pulse in the chest like a runaway train

I don’t play safe, I don’t walk tame

Raised in the back where the cold won’t speak

Had to carve out light in a town too bleak

When the world turned gray, I would still stay sleek

Pressure made pace and my path stayed unique

Shadows on the wall try to pull me back

But I slip through cracks with a silent track

Where the weight of the past would’ve broke that stack

I just lift that heat, never fold, never slack

They don’t know what it took just to stand

All the nights I bled just to build this plan

Now I walk with the strength of a thousand hands

Every step got fire that the weak don’t scan

No trace in my wake when I move like smoke

I burn what binds and I breathe unbroke

Let the rhythm shake floors with the words I spoke

I rise, I break, I bend, I provoke

Can’t chain what the heart already set free

No cage big enough for the soul in me

Let the beat drop heavy where the lost can see

I don’t break, I shift — I just let it be

Every second I was told I should wait in line

But I pressed through the glass ‘til the light was mine

Took heat from the hurt and I made it shine

Never begged for a chance, I create my time

Let 'em doubt when they see what they can’t decode

I was built in a place where the cold gets sold

Where your name means nothin’ if your stance ain’t bold

So I carved out gold from the weight I hold

Now the rhythm run deep like it’s part of my skin

I don’t ask, I earn, I don’t lose, I win

Let the floor shake loud when I breathe within

This the part where the fallin’ stops and I begin

No trace in my wake when I move like smoke

I burn what binds and I breathe unbroke

Let the rhythm shake floors with the words I spoke

I rise, I break, I bend, I provoke

Can’t chain what the heart already set free

No cage big enough for the soul in me

Let the beat drop heavy where the lost can see

I don’t break, I shift — I just let it be

Now I dance on the edge like I own that line

Got scars in the shape of a war-time sign

Took each one proud, never blurred that spine

I’m a storm in the still, with a voice refined

Every door that closed just fed my climb

They can’t steal what's been forged in grime

From the depth of the dark to the peak I time

Every move I make got a higher rhyme

Let the beat flip fast like a pulse gone wild

Got the grit of a soldier, the calm of a child

Now the echo I drop got the silence riled

I don’t need no crown, I just move in style

No trace in my wake when I move like smoke

I burn what binds and I breathe unbroke

Let the rhythm shake floors with the words I spoke

I rise, I break, I bend, I provoke

Can’t chain what the heart already set free

No cage big enough for the soul in me

Let the beat drop heavy where the lost can see

I don’t break, I shift — I just let it be
