Black Circuits Life

Grew up where the codes don’t run right

Cracked screen glow in the long night

Mama countin’ change by the fridge light

I was countin’ pages tryna flip life

Cheap laptop, dream in the hard drive

Whole block froze when the sparks fly

They said “pick a lane, you can’t mark sky”

I wrote my own map, made the stars mine

This that black circuits life

Where the pain still hums, but the plans ignite

Turn that shorted-out hope into overtime

We don’t just survive, we redesign

This that black circuits life

From the board to the block, we splice

Every scar, every wire, every fight

I’m plugged in deep to the black circuits life (yeah)

Hand-me-down code, had to patch that

Bug in my soul, had to catch that

Teacher said “kids like you don’t match that”

Now my name in the cloud where the stats at

Wi-Fi droppin’ while I chase proof

Signal goin’ out but the will roots

I don’t need their gate for a clear route

I just reroute pain into pure truth

This that black circuits life

Where the pain still hums, but the plans ignite

Turn that shorted-out hope into overtime

We don’t just survive, we redesign

This that black circuits life

From the board to the block, we splice

Every scar, every wire, every fight

I’m plugged in deep to the black circuits life (oh)

Power cut out, we still brainstorm

Whole hood hot, we create storms

They built walls high, we just trace forms

Lay tracks so the next ones transform

This that black circuits life

Where the pain still hums, but the plans ignite

Turn that shorted-out hope into overtime

We don’t just survive, we redesign

This that black circuits life

From the board to the block, we splice

Every scar, every wire, every fight

I’m plugged in deep to the black circuits life
