[Intro – Whispered / Controlled]
I don’t arrive loud.
I arrive correct.
Some names are noise.
Some names are necessary.
Verse 1
I read the room before I read the file
Watch who talks when the room goes still
You stand back, let the younger lead
That’s how I know what you used to be
You don’t chase glory, you don’t rush truth
You teach patience like it’s bulletproof
Hands folded, eyes that weigh the cost
Every lesson leaves something lost
He trusts you when the nights run long
Still hears your voice when the trail goes wrong
You say, “Slow down. Let patterns speak.”
Funny how patterns led me to you
Pre-Chorus – Low
I don’t need hate
I don’t need flame
I just need time
And a name
[Chorus – Cold, Minimal]
This isn’t violence
This is focus
I don’t break lives
I re-locate them
Every rule you ever taught
Still works
Just not how you thought
Verse 2
You taught him lines he won’t cross twice
You taught him justice wears a price
You never taught him what to do
When the lesson is standing in the room
I don’t touch what I can watch decay
I don’t rush what will walk my way
You still believe in clean resolves
I believe in unfinished calls
You trained him to look for the cut
Never told him who holds the blade
Never told him that guidance fades
When the teacher becomes the page
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Whispered]
I measure weight
Before I lift
I choose the moment
Before it exists
Bridge – Almost Spoken
You won’t be first.
You won’t be loud.
You’ll just be
Correct.
[Final Chorus – Slightly Heavier]
This isn’t chaos
This is craft
Every ending
Earns its path
When the silence finally breaks
He won’t blame fate
He’ll blame what you made
Outro – Spoken
Lesson observed.
Lesson scheduled.
Lesson… pending.
