[Verse 1] (rap delivery with light melody in cadence)
“Justin Damico”
Yeah…
I never rap I just let go
No cap I get cash it’s simple
I move alone, I don’t care who knows,
I do a Post to promote, like my name is Malone, I don’t mean to boast
But I earned my own, planted a seed I don’t need no hope
I’d like to propose a toast to those
From the east coast, (Portland) who has a goal shout out to the west
Grew up on the streets, where I got beat to pass a test
I’m still up beat, cause I came from the north
Now I’m down south, (Tampa) never ran my mouth.
“Defeat” (what’s that) even when I’m down and out
Pick myself up, keep it movin’ without no help — Believe me, I’ve been through hell
It ain’t easy I believe one day I’ll make it out
I’d Rather rap than take a nap on the couch
I Don’t mean to brag, that’s not what I’m about
I don’t play games, I don’t chase clout never chase fame, never checked out
Even on the worst days where I felt doubt
I bet on myself, then I cashed out
⸻
[Chorus] (melodic, catchy, Russ-style)
Give me truth, give me peace, give me love, that’s what I need to know
Give me time, and I’ll show you what I need to grow
I don’t fold, I don’t slow, I don’t fall in doubt — I’ma make it out
I don’t chase, I align what’s meant to be
I invest my time, into what’s made for me
If I fall, I rise — no time to sleep
This ain’t a dream, this is destiny
⸻
[Verse 2] (quieter tone, deeper delivery)
I keep my mind open, and my heart safe
Even when I’m frozen in a dark space,
I knew I was chosen for a time place
I don’t need a sign, to see I’m assigned dates
No contracts, I just cash checks, what’s congress gonna pass next?
I don’t need approval to cash flow on an asset
Learned to move smart — now I’m past stress
I don’t miss steps, and I don’t lose sleep
I don’t second guess, what do you think?
Even when it’s quiet, I’m still on beat
Stayin’ on the grind while they fall asleep.
Every step I take got a reason beneath.
I spent every dime on my skill, now I charge what I speak
⸻
[Chorus] (repeat with added harmony or layered vocals)
Give me truth, give me peace, give me love, that’s what I need to know
Give me time, and I’ll show you what I need to grow
I don’t fold, I don’t slow, I don’t fall in doubt — I’ma make it out
I don’t chase, I align what’s meant to be
I invest my time, into what’s made for me
If I fall, I rise — no time to sleep
This ain’t a dream, this is destiny
⸻
[Verse 3] (stripped-back beat, intimate tone)
Built it myself — don’t depend on nobody else Kept it lowkey while they shouted out loud
Moved in silence, let the work be the sound
Roots run deep, can’t tear this down
They chase quick wins, I play through the years
Turned doubt to drive, faced all my fears
Didn’t fold once, even through the tears
I gave it my all, never waited for signs
They took the fast lane, I took my time
Now they burn out while Im still on the climb
Lessons I learned I had to make up my mind
⸻
[Outro Chorus] (repeat with added harmony)
