**(Verse 1)**
"Justify why," in my fresh way,
What I do, pay for heaven's sake?
Standards coalesce, trust a lie,
Yo, re-up anything, 'fore I say goodbye.
The questions burn, a low, dark flame,
Whispers of your past, a twisted game.
**(Hook)**
Respect's a debt, I know you're deep,
Creepin' shadows, secrets you keep.
Heed the need, no one's gonna see,
What you did for me, what you did to me.
**(Verse 2)**
Too young for us, too close to then,
This past you drag, again and again.
Fire chap, you burnin' bright,
But trust is ash, in this fading light.
The stories twist, the lines all blur,
A hidden motive, I'm not so sure.
**(Hook)**
Respect's a debt, I know you're deep,
Creepin' shadows, secrets you keep.
Heed the need, no one's gonna see,
What you did for me, what you did to me.
**(Bridge)**
These questions linger, heavy and cold,
A story untold, a truth to be sold.
But I ain't buyin', I ain't playin' your game,
This fire's burnin', with a different kind of flame.
The "noticeable creep," the shadows you cast,
A reckoning comin', built to last.
**(Verse 3)**
You built your walls, with lies and deceit,
A fragile empire, bittersweet.
The echoes of your past, they start to rise,
Reflected in your cold, calculating eyes.
The debt you owe, it's time to pay,
Your secrets crumble, come what may.
**(Hook)**
Respect's a debt, I know you're deep,
Creepin' shadows, secrets you keep.
Heed the need, no one's gonna see,
What you did for me, what you did to me.
**(Outro)**
Fresh way justify, in the shadows I creep,
Secrets burnin' while you are asleep.
Fire chap fading, to a distant glow,
The truth you hid, now everyone will know.
Ashes and answers, scattered and wide,
The reckoning's here, you've nowhere to hide.
