[Intro]
Yeah…
They don’t write like this no more…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I plant pain in these papers, watch the ink resurrect it
Every line got a spine, you can feel the perspective
They say pressure make diamonds—I apply it aggressive
Now my thoughts cut precise like a mental machete
I was broke but rich in intent, that’s a dangerous blend
Had to bargain with doubt, turn my fear to a friend
Now I talk to my past like “we made it again”
While my future keep callin’, I can’t answer with trends
I don’t follow the wave, I architect tides
Built a bridge outta struggle now I walk what I write
Every bar got a pulse, I’m embalmin’ the mic
If they livin’ off gimmicks, I’m prolongin’ they life
I put soul in the syllables, pain in the placement
Every breath got a message, every pause got a statement
They be rappin’ in circles, I’m breakin’ the radius
Turn a thought to a weapon then sharpen the cadence
⸻
[Hook]
I don’t rap, I translate what the silence been sayin’
Every line got a cost, I been payin’ in patience
If it don’t come from scars, I don’t even replay it
I don’t chase validation, I create it
I don’t flex for the image, I reflect what I been through
Every loss turned a lesson I can lend you
They want smoke but don’t know what it tend to
I been burnin’ through pages like a stencil
⸻
[Verse 2]
I got verses that breathe, you can hear ‘em inhale
Every metaphor layered like a story in jail
Where the truth do time and the lies make bail
So I smuggle real life through the rhyme detail
I done danced with depression, made peace with the dark
Had a war in my chest, had to sleep with the scars
Now I speak like a prophet, every beat get a spark
Turn a sentence to scripture when I bleed through the art
They be countin’ they streams, I’m accountin’ my growth
You was loud for the crowd, I was silent for both
Now the room get still every time that I quote
‘Cause my words hit deeper than the surface you wrote
I don’t need me a co-sign, I sign with the truth
Every bar got receipts, I got proof in the booth
If they question the pen, I can write in a noose
Still survive every line, I got life in the noose
⸻
[Bridge]
This that write-in-the-dark, candle flicker flow
Where the pain talk fluent and the real ones know
I don’t make songs, I make moments froze
If you feel it in your chest, that’s the code
⸻
[Final Hook]
I don’t rap, I translate what the silence been sayin’
Every line got a cost, I been payin’ in patience
If it don’t come from scars, I don’t even replay it
I don’t chase validation, I create it
I don’t follow the crowd, I create the direction
Every loss gave me sight, every scar a reflection
Now my voice hit heavy like a moral confession
I don’t write for the moment—I write resurrection
