[Intro]
Yeah…
Scrapin’ my knuckles on the edge of survival…
[Verse 1]
Look-
I been fightin’ through the static, erratic, mind fractured
Back against the wall with a jaw full of shattered chapters
Ladder to the top got snapped in the climb
Now I’m rappin’ through the pain like it’s trapped in a rhyme
Blackin’ out time, every second’s a weapon
Depression’s a lesson I’m stressin’, confessin’ aggression
Obsession with breathin’, but breath feels borrowed
Every step forward’s a threat to tomorrow
Follow the hollow, I swallow the sorrow
Bottle it up then I model the motto
“Never break down,” but the cracks keep showin’
Mask stays strong while the back keeps bowin’
Crowded thoughts in a drought of peace
Loud heartbeat like a countdown beat
Ground shakes every time I slip
But I dig my nails in—won’t drown, won’t quit
[Pre-Chorus]
I been bent, never broke, yeah I choke but I breathe
Every scar got a story that’s been carved into me
I don’t fold, I reload every ounce of belief
Even ghosts in my head can’t compete when I speak
[Chorus]
I been fightin’ too hard just to live this life
Every bar’s like a scar, every word’s a knife
Cut deep but I keep standin’ tall in the storm
Yeah I’m torn, but I’m still transformin’
I been fightin’ too hard, yeah I bleed, I bruise
But I refuse to lose when I got nothin’ to lose
If I fall, I evolve, turn the pain into art
Yeah I been fightin’ too hard—but I still got heart
[Verse 2]
Brain like a battlefield, shrapnel thoughts scatter
Mad chatter climbin’ up the ladder of what matters
Patterns of panic, mechanical damage
Every plan I imagined got abandoned in fragments
Stand in the flame, I don’t flinch when it burns
Learned pain’s a page that I gotta turn
Earn every inch with a clenched jaw grit
Spit venomous sentences, relentless with it
I’m a storm in a form that was never supported
Every norm I deform, every loss I recorded
Reinforce every core that was torn from within
Now I war with myself just to score me a win
Sin in my veins but I cleanse through the pen
Bend but I don’t ever end, I ascend again
Tend to the wounds but they bloom into power
Every second I suffer just devours the coward
[Bridge]
So if I break—
I rebuild from the rubble I made
If I fall—
I evolve through the struggle and pain
[Verse 3]
Product of pressure, compressin’ the panic
Till it bursts from my chest—mechanical, manic
Patchin’ the past but it keeps on bleedin’
Every mask that I wear got cracks for a reason
Demons keep feedin’ on doubt in my mind
I drag ‘em to light, leave ‘em dyin’ behind
Chaos inside but I silence the riot
Turn pain into power, defiant, I rise
Backhand fate, I don’t play with the odds
Rewrite every loss like I’m challengin’ gods
Flawed but I’m forged in the furnace of fear
Every tear I shed made my purpose more clear
[Outro]
Yeah…
Still breathin’, still swingin’…
Still here.
