[Intro – Organ Hit, Low Growl, Spoken] Don’t feel sorry for me. Don’t clap for me late. If you ain’t walk with me through hell— save it. ⸻ [Verse 1 – DMX Bark, Tight and Direct] I don’t want pity from a mouth that never bled, Never prayed desperate with the floor as the bed. You don’t know hunger, you know inconvenience, I know silence loud enough to split my senses. They say “take a break,” I say “take a stand,” I ain’t collapse when the weight got heavy in my hands. I been left for dead, still moved forward, Ain’t nobody comin’—that truth restored me. I learned early: comfort kill ambition, Sympathy soften the fighter’s vision. So miss me with tears that don’t come from pain, I don’t need sorrow—I need strength in my veins. ⸻ [Hook – DMX Call-and-Response] No sympathy! (NO!) No excuses! (WHY!) I survived the trenches with discipline and bruises! No sympathy! (LISTEN!) No handouts! (NAH!) I stood up on my own when the help ran out! ⸻ [Verse 2 – Darker, Moral Authority] I seen grown men fold from comfort and praise, Seen strong souls die from takin’ the easy way. They want peace before they earn the right, I earned mine through sleepless nights. I don’t cry for applause, I cry to God, Ask Him why the road been this hard. He ain’t answer quick, but He answer clear— “Stand up straight and face your fear.” So I move raw, no cushion, no net, I don’t beg mercy—I demand respect. Not ‘cause I’m loud, not ‘cause I flex, But ‘cause I didn’t quit when quitting made sense. ⸻ [Hook – Louder, More Aggressive] No sympathy! (STAND UP!) No favors! (MOVE!) I don’t want your pity I want proof! No sympathy! (TELL ‘EM!) No soft ground! (WHY!) If I fall, I fall forward— I don’t lie down! ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken, Almost a Warning] You feel bad for me? Good. Now watch what I do without your help. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Final Command, Controlled Rage] They say “you deserve better,” I say “I deserve effort,” Ain’t no crown given—only pressure. I don’t talk survival like it’s poetic, I talk survival ‘cause I live it. Every scar a lesson, every wound a rule, Every loss stripped me down to truth. I don’t need applause when I win, I remember who wasn’t there when I bled in. So keep your sympathy, keep your tears, I built my backbone from years of fear. I don’t need comfort to validate me— I validated myself when nobody believed me. ⸻ [Final Hook – Anthem, Barked] NO SYMPATHY! (NO!) NO MERCY! (WHY!) I walked through hell and I’m still worthy! NO SYMPATHY! (LISTEN!) NO RETREAT! (FACTS!) If you see me standin’ now— remember this! ⸻ [Outro – Beat Drops, One Line] I didn’t survive for sympathy. I survived for sovereignty.
