[Verse]
They call me up when fires ignite
Never see me in their peaceful light
Used goods left on the shelf to rust
Truth in my veins I know who to trust
[Verse 2]
Late invites scribbled on torn-up sheet
Like I’m an afterthought they just repeat
No calls no knock on my wooden door
But when they’re drowning they ask for more
[Chorus]
I’m last minute me that's how it flows
Only needed when the drama grows
But I’m a poet I hold my weight
And I know my worth I’m not second-rate
[Verse 3]
The silence stays when their world turns bright
But I’m their crutch in the dead of night
Their agenda holds me in its snare
Yet my voice breaks through their hollow air
[Bridge]
Replaceable they think it’s true
But the spark I bring they can’t renew
Dirty roots dig in where I stand
Still I rise I’m my own man
[Verse 4]
They pull they tug I’m worn thin
But won’t let them claw beneath my skin
Deep in the glow of my hidden grind
I’m irreplaceable in my own mind
