I’m Back

(Indie Cinematic Rap Anthem/Indie Pop

Where is the music?

Where is the heart?

(beat)

All I hear is noise.

Rappers talk about their spot, but I don’t see a throne,

Words full of profanity, but substance? Gone.

Chantin’ the same lines like a ritual song,

If that’s the culture now, then something went wrong.

Where is the music? Where is the art?

You call it heart but it’s manufactured parts.

Say you’ve been here since the start — okay,

But pressure reveal who fade away.

I don’t care. I honestly don’t.

Not here to argue, not here to gloat.

Not sayin’ I’m the best — I’m sayin’ I’m real.

Know my name. Know I’m here. Know the deal.

If I’m not top three, that’s laughable talk.

I bled for this sound while y’all just walk.

Embarrassed the “crown” worn by kings in disguise —

Half these rulers are jesters in designer ties.

You flex the money — I don’t see it.

You say you run it — I don’t believe it.

You chase the hype — I don’t need it.

Different blood in my chest — I breathe it.

I don’t need a crown —

I just need to inspire.

If one soul hears this

And climbs a little higher —

That’s enough for me.

That’s enough to fight.

I’ll be doin’ this

Until fear lose his life.

I’m back.

And I’m not leavin’.

You rap about money, I don’t see stacks.

You rap about power, I don’t see facts.

You run from storms when the sky turn black,

I build in the rain — that’s why I’m intact.

You talk longevity — we’ll see in a year.

Times get hard, watch half disappear.

I fight every day with a voice in my head,

You fight for attention — we are not the same thread.

I don’t need applause, I don’t need approval,

I need to know pain wasn’t useless or brutal.

If one kid vibin’ and singin’ along,

Feel a little less broken — that’s why I’m strong.

Fear knock daily — I answer the door.

He say, “You done?” I say, “Not anymore.”

He say, “You tired.” I say, “For sure.”

But I’m still standin’. Still at war.

I don’t need your crown —

Y’all can keep that stage.

Built mine brick by brick,

You just built a page.

When the hype burn out,

When the lights go dim,

I’ll still be standin’ —

Where you been?

Top three?

That’s light work.

I been top tier

Since the dirt.

I’m back.

Remember that.

I don’t need a crown —

I just need the fire.

I don’t need the throne —

I’m already wired.

I’m here to stay.

Here to fight.

I’ll be doin’ this

Till I win that fight.

I’m back.

And when times get hard?

I’ll still be here.

Can’t say the same for them.

I’M BACK
