The devil in my chest

Verse – “The Devil in My Chest”]

I been tryna move clean, tryna live right

But the devil in my chest still beggin’ for a fight

He say, “Look at you now—soft, playin’ polite

Where was that mercy when we starved every night?”

“You forget who bled so you could breathe?

Who took every hit and refused to leave?

I held it down when the world turned cold

Spit teeth, cracked skulls, never lost control”

“I was rage in the flesh, heart full of smoke

Every word a blade, every swing a joke

I ain’t break, choom—I broke shit

And you sittin’ here worried ‘bout emotions and growth?”

And I feel that.

Some days I miss the fire

The way fear shook the room when my eyes got wired

The way they stepped light when I stepped in the zone

Like I was war walkin’, built outta stone

Chorus – “War Walkin’” | Roared like a war cry]

🔥 I’m war walkin’—calm face, riot inside 🔥

Got peace on my lips, but my fists don’t lie

Every step I take got ghosts in tow

Tryna bury that heat, but it’s ready to blow

I’m war walkin’—don’t test my line

I ain’t healed, I’m just buyin’ time

Two minds clashin’, one breath away

From losin’ control and lettin’ it spray

He say, “You tryin’ to heal what made you strong

But peace don’t sing—it’s a funeral song

You forgivin’ suits who woulda left you to rot

You lettin’ ‘em talk like you forgot”

Truth is—

I ain’t forget sh*t, I just got tired

Of livin’ every moment with my hands on fire

But when I feel that twitch, I know he’s near

Sayin’, “Crash out. Snap. Remind ‘em who to fear.”

So now it’s me vs. me, same scars, new name

One tryin’ to change, the other wantin’ pain

I walk with calm—but it’s thin as glass

And the old me’s smilin’, waitin’ for it to crack

Tryna bury that heat, but it’s ready to blow

I’m war walkin’—don’t test my line

I ain’t healed, I’m just buyin’ time

Two minds clashin’, one breath away

From losin’ control and lettin’ it spray
