[Intro]
Head high
Jaw locked
Breath slow
(we up now)
[Verse 1]
Day one
Cold floor, bare chest
Phone face down
Heart beating in my neck
Calendar on the wall
Red X, red X
Every night I win
I feel that in my legs
Eyes clear
Walk heavy, no rush
Every girl feel the stare
Every dude feel the hush
Used to scroll, feel sick
Click, crave, crash
Now I hold that storm
Turn it all into cash (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m on war mode, no hands on me
Turn that pressure into prophecy
All that hunger in my arteries
I don’t waste it
I don’t waste it
I’m on war mode, guard my mind
If it ain’t purpose, hit decline
All that fire in my spine
I elevate it
I elevate it
[Verse 2]
I don’t chase, I choose
I don’t beg, I move
Every “no” I stack
That’s fuel for the groove
She say “why you hard?”
I say “that’s my drive”
I ain’t here to leak life
I’m here to stay alive
Used to be a slave
To a small blue screen
Now the king in the mirror
Lookin tall, lookin mean (woah)
I breathe deep, transmute
Turn urge into truth
Whole body like a weapon
Whole spirit bulletproof
[Chorus]
I’m on war mode, no hands on me
Turn that pressure into prophecy
All that hunger in my arteries
I don’t waste it
I don’t waste it
I’m on war mode, guard my mind
If it ain’t purpose, hit decline
All that fire in my spine
I elevate it
I elevate it
[Bridge]
Every demon that I fed
Now it starvin in the dark
Every drop that I saved
Put a battery in my heart
This that monk rage
This that clean flame
You can feel it in the room
When I say my name (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m on war mode, no hands on me
Turn that pressure into prophecy
All that hunger in my arteries
I don’t waste it
I don’t waste it
I’m on war mode, guard my mind
If it ain’t purpose, hit decline
All that fire in my spine
I elevate it
I elevate it
