Deathnote

no cape, no pearls

truth on my tongue

whole world in a swirl

Speak your truth

don’t steal mine

so you can see you

quit tryna read my spine

I’ve been through fire

charcoal lungs, black rain

I rise from the ashes

burnt wings, still plain

I fall, I break

floor cracks when I land

heart taped with mistakes

ink stained on my hand

got a family to feed

no time for your shade

I’ll give you a page

in my book of fate

But then I’ll walk away

Death note girl

I don’t fold, I don’t curl

been through hell, still twirl

this that Deathnite rap girl

I fall, I break, still stand

empty pockets, full hands

from the smoke to the world

You want my scars

for your cover art

you want my bars

not this battered heart

You wasn’t there

when the power died

stomach talking in tongues

mama trying not to cry

Every no in my throat

turns to gasoline

every door that slammed shut

made a new machine

You can quote my pain

but you can’t own my name

I’m the glitch in your game

raw code in the flame

Speak your truth

I’ll keep mine

etched in bone

between the lines

Page by page

I bend that fate

Deathnote girl

I don’t break, I create

You got your page in my death note

Sign your name in my death note

I’ll still walk away
