Title: “Margins”
Intro (spoken / filtered)
Yeah
They love the surface
I live in the margins
Chorus
I been movin’ through the dark with a purpose
Silence loud when the vision get nervous
They see wins, never study the process
I was built in the margins
I don’t need hype, I need leverage
Faith heavy, doubt weightless
They chase moments, I chase alignment
I was built in the margins
Verse 1
Lost time tryna explain myself
Then I learned silence scale itself
Everybody want the outcome
Nobody want the mental health
I cut noise like a budget plan
Trim the fat, let the vision expand
They ask God for a miracle
I ask God for a better hand
Pre-Chorus
I been off-grid, off-script
Still land where I’m supposed to
They play roles, I play chess
Difference show when it’s crunch time
Chorus
I been movin’ through the dark with a purpose
Silence loud when the vision get nervous
They see wins, never study the process
I was built in the margins
I don’t need hype, I need leverage
Faith heavy, doubt weightless
They chase moments, I chase alignment
I was built in the margins
Verse 2
Pressure make diamonds, or debt
Depends what you carry it with
I been readin’ the room too well
That’s why I barely speak in it
They perform for approval
I perform when it’s necessary
Whole life felt transitional
Guess that’s how you get legendary
Bridge (auto-tuned, spacey)
Yeah
I don’t fit in the frame they drew
I redraw lines when I move
This ain’t luck, this is layered truth
Took time, now it’s overdue
Beat Switch
Verse 3 (short, confident)
I don’t rush, I compound
That’s the flex they don’t tweet
I don’t prove, I position
Then let history speak
Final Chorus
I been movin’ through the dark with a purpose
Every loss left a mark, still worth it
They want proof right now, I want permanence
I was built in the margins
If I vanish, it’s strategy
If I’m quiet, it’s clarity
When they ask how I stayed ahead
I was thinkin’ ahead of me
Outro (spoken)
They celebrate peaks
I studied the climb
