[HOOK – Soulful, chant-style, repeated w/ backup vocals]
Got gold in my hands, purpose in the blade
Vista where I stand, legacy I made
Fade built clean, truth in the line
Swole cut deep, transform with time
From the 7-6-0, every stroke got weight
You ain’t just a client — you steppin’ out great
⸻
[VERSE 1 – Real, introspective, lyrical fire]
I ain’t just cuttin’ hair — I’m changin’ how you feel
I give ‘em more than style, I give ‘em something real
A mirror ain’t just glass — it’s a truth reveal
When the fade hit right, your soul start to heal
From Camp Pendleton to city blocks with pride
Been through war, pain, pressure — still I rise
Retired from the Corps, but I kept that code
Now I shape crowns with a chair and a comb
Garage to the shop, every step got fight
Took my story, made a brand, now I give ‘em light
I don’t sell a cut — I sell self-belief
And I do it in a place where my roots run deep
⸻
[HOOK – With intensity building]
Got gold in my hands, purpose in the blade
Vista where I stand, legacy I made
Fade built clean, truth in the line
Swole cut deep, transform with time
From the 7-6-0, every stroke got weight
You ain’t just a client — you steppin’ out great
⸻
[VERSE 2 – Grammy-level depth, storytelling, clarity]
I seen young men lost, come sit in my chair
By the time they leave, got a mission, got a stare
Talk life while I edge it, that’s more than a blend
I’m the counselor, the brother, sometimes the end
Barber cape like armor, station like the booth
I lay bars in the silence while I sharpen truth
Every clip got rhythm, every taper got grace
From a Marine with the trauma to a father with faith
I got blades that cut, but I build not break
They feel ten feet tall when they walk out the gate
It’s not about fame, not about fame — it’s impact
Legacy deep when your name never slip back
⸻
[OUTRO – Spoken word mantra / fade-out with reverb]
This ain’t a fade… this a transformation
This ain’t a cut… this a proclamation
This ain’t just business… it’s belief with a blade
I’m Swole the Barber. 760. Vista made.
