Stealth Mode

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.
