Lyrics
[Intro]
Past is heavy
Heart gone feral (yeah)
Teeth to metal
Survival primal
[Verse 1]
I was raised on rust
Cold spoons, hot cuffs
Whole block prayed, same night
same luck
Two phones, one buzz
Rent due, thin blood
Dreams in a shoebox
Hidden in the vent dust
Eyes on the exit, back to the wall
Learned quick, every favor got a tag, every smile got a flaw
They talk love
But the love turned law
When the bread ran short
And the blade came raw (skrrt)
[Chorus]
Past is heavy, neck on chain
Carry that weight in my veins
Survival’s primal, I don’t play tame
Claws out first when they say my name (say my name)
Past is heavy, can’t rewind
Turn that pain to a sharper mind
Survival’s primal, fight or flight
I bite back hard when they dim my light (bite back)
[Verse 2]
I don’t flinch at the sirens, slept through raids
Shared one plate, split crumbs, still gave
Trust got taxed, every word got weighed
Only thing free round here’s the grave
Mama with the eyes that ain’t slept in years
Daddy was a rumor, just smoke and beer
So I married my fear, made it sharpen my spears
Every scar on my skin just a souvenir
Now they wanna talk peace, but the wound’s too deep
I was bargaining with God for some secondhand sleep
If the reaper want mine, better come this week
‘Cause I’m growing new teeth
Under every old grief (yeah)
[Chorus]
Past is heavy, neck on chain
Carry that weight in my veins
Survival’s primal, I don’t play tame
Claws out first when they say my name (say my name)
Past is heavy, can’t rewind
Turn that pain to a sharper mind
Survival’s primal, fight or flight
I bite back hard when they dim my light (bite back)
[Bridge]
Who am I
If I drop my guard
If I lay this armor
In the neighbor’s yard
Can I breathe
If I don’t stay hard
Or do I turn to smoke
When they cut the scar (woah)
[Chorus]
Past is heavy, neck on chain
Carry that weight in my veins
Survival’s primal, I don’t play tame
Claws out first when they say my name (say my name)
Past is heavy, can’t rewind
Turn that pain to a sharper mind
Survival’s primal, fight or flight
I bite back hard when they dim my light (bite back, bite back)

Style
rap, Dark trap beat, detuned bells and eerie vocal chops over rattling hi-hats and a trunk-rattling sub; verses in a tight, aggressive pocket, ad-libs tucked wide. Hook explodes with layered male vocals, distorted doubles, and booming 808 stabs hitting on the title phrase. Bridge strips to bass and clap for a tense, intimate confessional before the final chorus slams back in., hardcore, beats
