Never Been Louder

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

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

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’

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

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’

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

Rise… rise… rise…

No sound but the soul survives

Rise… rise… rise…

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’
