Verse 1
Family throw shade like they live in a cage
Act like I’m trash, then they mad when I rage
Push me down with words, call it “how we talk”
But I hear what you mean every time you walk off
Always keeping in the shadow when I tell the truth
From all that pain I swallowed, now it’s the proof in my booth
I don’t say it for clout, I say it ‘cause it’s real
You let it get so twisted that your lies feel like a deal
Hook
You treat me like trash, then act surprised when I snap
Talk down on my name, yeah you built this off that
Keep pushing me—good, I’m ready to fight
I’m frustrated to my core, but I’m up tonight
You treat me like trash, then act holy for the crowd
I’m done being quiet when the damage get loud
Always keeping in the shadow, still I speak it plain
If you was involved in the pain, you feel this same strain
Verse 2
I’m tired of the “family” label like it make it okay
Like disrespect ain’t disrespect just ‘cause it’s old days
You wanna control my mouth, wanna silence my mind
But the truth got a voice and it’s coming back every time
From all the pain, I learned who to see and who to doubt
Some of y’all were part of it—now don’t play dumb now
I’m not begging for respect, I’m taking it back
Soft voice, strong heart—yeah, I’m done with the act
Bridge
Don’t call me disrespectful when you disrespect first
I watched it get worse, now I’m pulling the words
Always keeping in the shadow… just to survive the flame
Now I’m telling the truth, and my anger got a name
