[Intro]
Ooooh, yeah
Lights flashin’ in the mirror like a daydream cry
Step in the room and the silence say hi
But I move with the thunder, never shy
[Verse 1]
They thought I fell off, guess they don’t know
I built this from echoes and sidewalk flows
No stage light needed, I still glow
I’m the fire in a cold world, movin’ slow
Back to the rhythm where the steel drums knock
Mouths stay shut when the real ones talk
I’ve been patient, silent, calm, and still
Now it’s rush hour and I’m drivin’ the will
It’s the rumble in your chest that you can’t deny
When the quiet one talks and the loud ones hide
[Chorus]
Can’t dim what’s burnin’ inside
I was made from the storm, not the tide
Every no turned a crack to a rise
Now they whisper when I walk by, I
I never been louder
Even when I said nothin’
Never been louder
Now the whole world’s buzzin’
[Verse 2]
Tell ‘em don’t measure me in moments missed
I’ve been stackin’ heartbeats in the quiet abyss
All them late nights, eyes won’t blink
Had to build my own ladder from the kitchen sink
Let ‘em mock, let ‘em sleep, let ‘em scroll
They ain’t ready for a whisper that explodes
No post, no tag, no filter face
Just truth wrapped deep in a velvet bass
You can trace my scars to a golden beat
Every line from pain now soundin’ sweet
[Chorus]
Can’t dim what’s burnin’ inside
I was made from the storm, not the tide
Every no turned a crack to a rise
Now they whisper when I walk by, I
I never been louder
Even when I said nothin’
Never been louder
Now the whole world’s buzzin’
[Verse 3]
Every lesson was a beat in disguise
Every silence was a stage in my mind
I don’t flex, I reflect and apply
Now the pressure just fuels my climb
No shade, no blame, no rewind
They had the mic, but I had the time
See, my roots deep where the basslines dig
Now my voice got wings like a choir kid
Whispers can build an empire too
Now look what a murmur grew into
[Bridge]
Rise… rise… rise…
No sound but the soul survives
Rise… rise… rise…
[Chorus]
Can’t dim what’s burnin’ inside
I was made from the storm, not the tide
Every no turned a crack to a rise
Now they whisper when I walk by, I
I never been louder
Even when I said nothin’
Never been louder
Now the whole world’s buzzin’
