Verse 1)
Yo, growing up, I was searching for a guide,
But every time I reached out, you pushed me aside.
Thought a father’s love was supposed to be strong,
But you were never there, man, it felt so wrong.
Memories of silence, not a word to say,
Left me feeling lost, like I’m drifting away.
You chose your battles, I was never in the fight,
Now I’m left with shadows, haunted every night.
(Verse 2)
Every birthday came, but you never showed,
Left me waiting, wishing, feeling so low.
Tried to understand, but the wounds run deep,
You were my father, but your promises, they sleep.
I learned to stand tall, even when you weren’t there,
Found my own strength, learned to fight and to care.
Now I’m writing my story, flipping the page, Turning all this hurt into fuel for the stage.
(Chorus)
I’m breaking these chains, I’m finding my way,
No more living in your shadow, I’m done with the pain.
Thought I needed your love, but I’m stronger alone,
Building up my own empire, I’m claiming my throne.
(Verse 3)
Late nights alone, just me and my dreams,
Wondering if you ever heard my silent screams.
Every time I fell, I had to pick myself up,
You were my blood, but you never filled my cup.
Had to learn the hard way, life ain"t a game, Trusting in myself, I’m the one to blame.
But now I’m rising, I’m breaking the mold,
Turning all this pain into stories untold.
(Verse 4)
Saw you in the rearview, fading from sight,
No more chains holding me, I’m ready to fight.
I’m building my future, brick by brick,
Learning from the past, I’m finding my kick.
Every tear I shed, it’s a lesson I learned,
Fueling my fire, watch the tables turn.
I’m not a victim, I’m a warrior at heart,
With every beat of my drum, I’m making my mark.
(Chorus)
I’m breaking these chains, I’m finding my way,
No more living in your shadow, I’m done with the pain.
Thought I needed your love, but I’m stronger alone,
Building up my own empire, I’m claiming my throne.
(Outro)
So here’s to the future, I’m ready to rise,
No more tears for a father who never tried. I’m carving my path, I’m chasing my dreams,
No more looking back, I’m bursting at the seams.
With every word I spit, I’m reclaiming my voice,
In this life that I’m living, I’m making my choice.
