Rage

Intro (talking):

Yeah…

All that pain they gave me?

I ain’t throw it away, I turned it into fuel.

Welcome to the vision…

Hook:

Rage in my veins, I been fightin’ through the pain,

City on fire, I’m just walkin’ through the flames.

Voices in my head say destroy, not create,

Turn the anger to a bag, I’ma flip it into weight.

Rage in my veins, I ain’t runnin’ from the smoke,

Took every doubt, turned it into what I wrote.

If I ever fall, know I’m comin’ back insane,

’Cause I learned how to turn all this rage into gain.

Verse 1:

Started off broke, pockets full of frustration,

Every “no” that they gave me built my foundation.

Teachers told me “pipe down,” never had patience,

Now they kids quote my bars like they affirmations.

Used to punch walls, now I punch in at the stew,

Used to wanna swing first, now I swing with the truth.

I was lookin’ for a war, tryna bleed for respect,

Now I’m buildin’ up a legacy, need me a check.

All this trauma in my chest, had to sort that,

Same hurt turned me to a wolf, never brought back.

I don’t beg for a seat, I’ma own the table,

I was prayin’ for a sign, now I’m feelin’ able.

Verse 2:

Got a chip on my shoulder like a gold plate,

All this pressure made a diamond, that’s a cold fate.

Every time they tried to box me, I broke shape,

Turned the cage to a stage, made the whole place shake.

I ain’t really had a model for this lifestyle,

Only saw dudes crash out, die young or get wiped out.

Had to learn from what they did, not what they said,

’Cause the ones that gave advice never bled how I bled.

Rage got me wide awake, I don’t like sleep,

Dreams feel better when you feel ’em in the light, deep.

I remember all the jokes that they cracked on me,

Funny how they quiet now, no laughs on me.

Hook

Verse 3:

I was close to losin’ it, knuckles all bruisin’ it,

Heart so cold had me feelin’ I was losin’ wit.

Then I heard my inner voice say “You control the route,

You gon’ either burn it down or you gon’ build a house.”

So I took every grudge, every scar, every slight,

Wrote it all in my notes, turned it all into light.

Now the same dark thoughts that was hauntin’ my brain

Be the same type of lines that be runnin’ the game.

I ain’t perfect, I still feel like I could snap any minute,

But I put it in the beat, let the hi-hats spin it.

If the world wanna war, then I’m fully engaged,

But I’d rather get rich off this rage.

Bridge (melodic):

All this fire in my chest, I can’t let it go,

If I do, who I be, I don’t even know.

So I ride with the storm, let the thunder roll,

Turn the chaos to a crown, that’s the only goal.
