Past Your Picture

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You wrote a rumor on my back in pen

Thought that little story was the shape I'm in

Boxed me, locked me

Cheap little summary

You don't know the nights that rewrote my skin

You don't know the corners that I had to fight in

You only met the version you could manage

Never saw the hunger under all that damage

You love the label more than you love the person

Kept that frame tight while the pressure kept worsenin'

Smile in my face

Talk in a code

But I'm not your forecast, I'm my own weather pattern

[Chorus]

You drew a picture

Tried to make me live inside it

I'm past your image now

You can't even recognize it

You called me broken

I turned every crack to lightning

You wrote my story small

Watch me make the ending frightening

I'm not your rumor

I'm louder than what you told

You had me buried

I grew roots around your stones

You drew a picture

I burned it, see the smoke

You named me failure

Now I'm the one that spoke

[Verse 2]

You said "too quiet," I became a storm

You said "too strange," I made that the norm

You said "no way"

I said "say less"

Turned all that doubt into blood in my form

You never saw me reading when the room got dark

Practicing alone just to sharpen my art

You just saw grades, clothes, posts, gossip

Never saw the grind or the weight on my heart

I was busy buildin' while you were busy judgin'

Stacking every second you were casually grudgin'

You kept receipts, I kept receipts too

Every word you ever used, I feed that to the fuel

[Chorus]

You drew a picture

Tried to make me live inside it

I'm past your image now

You can't even recognize it

You called me broken

I turned every crack to lightning

You wrote my story small

Watch me make the ending frightening

I'm not your rumor

I'm louder than what you told

You had me buried

I grew roots around your stones

You drew a picture

I burned it, see the smoke

You named me failure

Now I'm the one that spoke

[Bridge]

You said "that's all you'll ever be" (ever be)

Repeat that line, I'll count to three (count with me)

One for every time I bled in silence

Two for every scar they called defiance

Three for when I walk right past your shade

Head so high that the sky feel afraid (hey!)

[Chorus]

You drew a picture

Tried to make me live inside it

I'm past your image now

You can't even recognize it

You called me broken

I turned every crack to lightning

You wrote my story small

Watch me make the ending frightening

I'm not your rumor

I'm louder than what you told

You had me buried

I grew roots around your stones

You drew a picture

I burned it, see the smoke

You named me failure

Now I'm the one that spoke

Style

rap, Moody boom-bap with modern punch, male vocals. Hollow piano loop and dusty hats in the verses, giving space for tight, syllable-dense flow. Chorus widens with layered, shouted doubles and a deep, steady kick. Bridge strips to vocal and bass hits then slams back into the last hook for a triumphant finish.
