Loyalty Shift

Verse 1 – Eminem energy, fast, internal rhyme heavy]

You perfected the posture, the practiced composure
Calculated exposure, selective disclosure
Taught me the trick — keep it neat, keep it sealed
If it threatens the system, pretend it ain’t real

I watched you pivot the second it shook
Swear you stood firm but I read the footwork
It’s funny how loyalty shifts with the light
When truth costs comfort and comfort feels right

You mirrored the heat you once said you’d outrun
Now you defend it like something you won
I bit my tongue till it tasted like rust
You called it dramatic — I called it unjust

Don’t worry — I kept it contained
I never went nuclear, never named names
But silence ain’t peace, it’s pressure in glass
And one crack away from shattering masks

⸻

[Pre-Hook – half-time, gritty]

I asked for breath
You handed me blame
Said I was fire
While you fed the flame

⸻

[Hook – Jelly Roll weight, big, anthemic]

You chose the quiet
Over what was true
Said it was easier
Than losing you

I was the fracture
You couldn’t face
So you kept the comfort
And gave up the brave

Some people sleep better
When truth don’t speak
So you chose the silence

And it cost me

⸻

[Verse 2 – Eminem sharper, more coded]

No villain speech, no dramatic scene
Just subtle erasure, wiped me clean
Like if you don’t look, it don’t exist
Like rewriting memory fixes it

You think I don’t see it — I do
The almost apology that never came through
That flicker of doubt you swallow whole
Before it reaches your control

You say I changed — yeah, that’s right
I stopped shrinking to fit your light
Stopped bending bone just to belong
Stopped calling survival “keeping strong”

You didn’t lose me.
You let me go.
There’s a difference you already know.

⸻

[Final Hook – Jelly Roll, bigger, wounded but steady]

You chose the quiet
I chose the scar
You chose the safe side
I chose who we are

I won’t expose you
I won’t compete
But you’ll hear this echo

Every time
you say
my name
