Intro (spoken)
Yeah…
Everybody loud all day.
This what comes after.

Verse 1
I don’t rush shit, I move composed
Eyes half-lidded but I stay focused
Whole world loud, I tune it out
After the noise, that’s where I’m found
Work boots dusty, hands still sore
Same grind I been on before
They talk fast, they talk brave
I let silence earn its place
Bike leaned back, engine ticking
Mind still racing but the ride keep fixing
I don’t chase peace, I let it come
Usually shows up when the talking’s done
⸻
Hook
After the noise
When it all dies down
That’s where I hear myself
That’s where I’m grounded now
After the noise
No rush, no choice
Just breathing slow, letting go
That’s the calm I enjoy
⸻
Verse 2
Late night courts with the lights half dead
Couple bad shots still clear my head
Hoops echo soft on empty ground
Same rhythm helps me settle down
Smoke rings float, don’t say a thing
Just circles breaking everything
I don’t need highs, I stay level
Peace ain’t loud — it’s subtle
Stress knock once, I don’t slam doors
I learned what quiet’s for
Some nights fast, some nights slow
This one’s where I let it go
⸻
Hook
After the noise
When the world quits yelling
I don’t need answers yet
I just feel it settling
After the noise
No flex, no voice
Just small wins stacking up
In the calm I choice
⸻
Bridge (rap, stripped, honest)
I been calm in chaos, still standing
Ain’t perfect, just understanding
Life hit hard, I hit back slow
Not everything gotta explode
Hoops bounce once, smoke fade thin
That’s how I reset again
If it’s heavy, I don’t complain
I let it burn, I let it drain
⸻
Final Hook
After the noise
That’s where I stay sane
Same me, still breathing
Just moving different lanes
After the noise
No rush, no rings
Just quiet wins and clear thoughts
And the peace that brings
⸻
Outro (spoken)
Everybody hears the noise.
Not everybody stays for what comes after.
AFTERLIFE
