Cold Nights

Verse 1

I came from the silence where the echoes stay,

Had to build a future from a yesterday.

Every scar on my skin got a story to tell,

Walked through the fire but I never fell.

People switched lanes when the road got rough,

Said I wouldn't make it, said I wasn't enough.

Now I'm standing on my own with a heart of steel,

Every word I spit comes from something real.

Pre-Chorus

No shortcuts, no handouts, no easy ride,

Just a dream and a fire I refuse to hide.

Chorus

I've been chasing daylight through the longest nights,

Turning every setback into city lights.

Can't erase my name, can't rewrite my path,

Built a better future from the broken past.

If I fall, I'll rise, that's the code I keep,

Eyes wide open while the whole world sleeps.

Verse 2

Pressure made diamonds, I was made the same,

Every loss added fuel to the flame.

They can throw dirt but the roots grow deep,

Promises I make are the ones I keep.

I don't need a crown just to know my worth,

I've been proving that since the day of birth.

Now the vision's clear, I can see the view,

Everything I said, now it's coming true.

Bridge

I'm not running from the storms anymore,

I'm the thunder people can't ignore.

Final Chorus

I've been chasing daylight through the longest nights,

Turning every setback into city lights.

Every chapter written with a steady hand,

Built my life instead of waiting for a chance.

If they ask who I am, tell 'em this I know—

I survived the dark, now I'm built to glow.
