The One Thing He Fears

[Intro]
Yeah
He know my name
He know my face
He don’t say it
[Verse 1]
I seen monsters in the mirror
Called ’em “me” and drew ’em nearer
Shook hands with every shadow in the room
Turned my childhood bedroom to a tomb
I made peace with all my anger
Sat down at the table with my danger
Learned to love the knife that cut me open
Now my scars speak louder than his omen (yeah)
He got tricks, I got truth, that’s a harder hit
He got chains, I got roots, I don’t bargain with it
Walked through every hell that he curated
Left footprints in the flame, never faded
[Chorus]
I’m the one thing the devil fears the most
I know every ghost that he boasts
Walked his halls, carved my name in the smoke
Turned every curse into gold that I broke
I’m the one thing the devil fears the most (fears the most)
Look him in the eyes, watch him choke
’Cause I already danced with all his hopes
And I came back laughing from the rope (yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
He don’t tempt me with the shiny, that’s beginner play
He try to hand me all my trauma in a silver tray
Show me every time I bled on people that I love
Tell me I’m a monster they could never rise above
But I sat in that guilt till it lost its teeth
Let it gnaw on my bones, then I pulled the beast
Held my breath in the depth of the panic and the dread
Found a whole other voice in my head
Said, “Stand up, don’t flinch, keep your stare steady”
If the sky rain knives, let the blade get ready
He can’t sell me what I’ve already owned
Can’t haunt me with a grave where I’ve already grown (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m the one thing the devil fears the most
I know every ghost that he boasts
Walked his halls, carved my name in the smoke
Turned every curse into gold that I broke
I’m the one thing the devil fears the most (fears the most)
Look him in the eyes, watch him choke
’Cause I already danced with all his hopes
And I came back laughing from the rope
[Bridge]
He afraid of the kid that survived his storm
Afraid of the heart that reshaped its form
Afraid of the mind that calls out his lies
Afraid of the soul that refuses to die (uh)
Every time I rise from the wreck, he shakes
’Cause I turn all his ruins into stairway shapes
When he whispers in the dark, I don’t even blink
I just smirk, take a breath, make him sit and think (sit and think)
[Chorus]
I’m the one thing the devil fears the most
I know every ghost that he boasts
Walked his halls, carved my name in the smoke
Turned every curse into gold that I broke
I’m the one thing the devil fears the most (fears the most)
Look him in the eyes, watch him choke
’Cause I already danced with all his hopes
And I came back laughing from the rope (yeah)

rap, Minimal, slow-rolling hip-hop beat around 72 BPM, ominous bell and reversed-pad samples, deep sub-bass. Male vocals with a cold, controlled delivery that swells into intensity on the hook. Sparse, echoing ad-libs, eerie choir stabs in the chorus, and a final verse where the drums thin out, leaving voice and bass to feel almost confrontational., hip hop, slow
