Title: “Waves Don’t Lie”
(Intro – talking)
Yeah…
Somewhere between peace and paranoia,
Between thankin’ God and askin’ why He chose me.
Between love that’s real and love that’s convenient.
You ever been there?
Yeah…

(Verse 1)
I been floatin’ through my city like the only one who made it out,
Dreams too vivid, they couldn’t fade it out.
Mama said patience, pops said grind,
Had to mix both just to balance my mind.
Now I’m watchin’ investments while the sun rise over oceans,
Thinkin’ how far I came from emotion to devotion.
I seen friends fold when the pressure came,
Turn pain into fashion, still the hunger remains.
Came from the side where ambition feel foreign,
Now I’m signin’ docs while my phone steady callin’.
They want a piece of peace I fought for,
Tryna stand next to me but they ain’t walk war.
Whole team changed once the paper got thicker,
Now I toast with a smile but my spirit feel sicker.
Funny how success turn believers to doubters,
And the realest talks happen far from the shouters.
I had nights where my thoughts too loud,
Talkin’ to God in the dark, no crowd.
He told me, “Son, keep the circle pure,”
‘Cause love with a motive don’t ever endure.
Now I’m cuttin’ ties like loose threads on a suit,
Tailor-made path, every stitch absolute.
You can measure the growth by the silence I keep,
Peace expensive when your mind runs deep.

(Hook – soft melodic tone)
They see the wins, not the war scars,
They see the cars, not the late bars.
They see the glow, not the grind behind,
They see the crown, not the sleepless mind.
Waves don’t lie, they come back in time,
Everything I lost had to realign.

(Verse 2)
I’m talkin’ late calls with my conscience, real debates,
Like, “You blessed, but are you great?”
It’s a marathon, not a lap around fate,
Still I’m runnin’ circles ‘round the ones that hate.
Every move I make got intention inside it,
You can’t teach hunger, you gotta survive it.
They was doubtin’ me heavy, I remember the laughter,
Now it’s Forbes lists and private chapter after chapter.
I done seen loyalty bend like smoke,
People change fast when the envy awoke.
Still, I move calm, sip tea in the chaos,
They wanna play boss but they never pay costs.
I’m from the side where opportunity rare,
Now I’m manifestin’ millions in the thin air.
I used to chase fame, now I’m duckin’ exposure,
I learned real peace don’t come with a poster.
Convos with shorty, she say I’m too distant,
Told her, “Baby, greatness ain’t instant.”
I’m tryna build legacies, not just moments,
I can’t water love if I’m still growin’.
Still I think of home when I’m overseas,
Cape breeze remind me how to breathe with ease.
Now the same hands that played in the dark
Hold pens that shift somebody's heart
I dont need validation , I need purpose
Too many crowns but non fit worth it
