I pull my cap down low, fade into the crowd,
No one sees the war beneath the calm and proud.
Every “bro” and handshake, I play my part,
But the silence hits deeper than the scars on my heart.
(Pre-Chorus)
They talk like wolves, all teeth and smoke,
Don’t know the weight behind the jokes.
I laugh along, but inside I bleed,
‘Cause they don’t see the man I had to be.
(Chorus)
I’m walking stealth through a world that’s blind,
Carrying truth they’ll never find.
See the worst of toxic men and lies,
Still I rise — still I rise.
Built from pain, but I stand tall,
Every mirror knows it all.
I’m more than they could ever define,
A man reborn, walking the line.
(Verse 2)
Locker room talk like loaded guns,
I dodge their hate and play it numb.
They chase a strength they’ll never feel,
While mine was forged in something real.
(Pre-Chorus)
They don’t see the nights I cried,
Or the years I fought just to align.
Now I move through smoke and steel,
Invisible — but every step is real.
(Chorus)
I’m walking stealth through a world that’s blind,
Carrying truth they’ll never find.
See the worst of toxic men and lies,
Still I rise — still I rise.
Built from pain, but I stand tall,
Every mirror knows it all.
I’m more than they could ever define,
A man reborn, walking the line.
(Bridge)
They see a brother, I see a fight,
A thousand suns to earn this light.
If they only knew what freedom costs,
The years I burned, the skin I lost.
(Breakdown)
But I won’t hide in shame or fear,
I made this man from blood and tears.
The world’s still cruel, but so am I —
I live my truth, I won’t deny.
(Final Chorus)
I’m walking stealth through a world that’s blind,
Carrying truth they’ll never find.
See the worst of toxic men and lies,
Still I rise — still I rise.
Every wound a badge of pride,
A warrior soul I cannot hide.
They’ll never know, but that’s just fine,
I’m free at last — walking the line.
