[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus / Outro]
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
