Venom Bath

[Verse 1]
They drip venom in they voice when they talk my name
Still I step in the room, everything rearranged
Took a bath in the doubt that they poured on me
Came out cleaner, meaner, now they all gon’ see
Every “ouchie” that I swallowed turned to armor in my chest
Every time I had to suffer, that was training for the test
Had my back on the floor, ceiling lookin’ like a map
Now I’m chartin’ every scar, that’s the plan, that’s the path
[Chorus]
Venom bath, let it burn my skin (yeah)
Turn that pain to a crown I win
Every ouchie, every wound I’ve worn
Suffer long, then I’m reborn
Venom bath, I’ma sink down deep
Talk to the Lord when I barely sleep
If I’m crawling through the fire and ash
Watch me rise from the venom bath
[Verse 2]
Talk to the Lord in the late-night hush
Like, “Why I suffer this much for a rush?”
He said, “Boy, every drop, every cut, every bruise
Is a weapon in your hand if you choose how to use”
So I lace up, face up, never backin’ away
Got the ache in my bones, but it’s fuel for the day
Yeah, they laughed at my fall, try to cover they tracks
Now they whisper my name while I’m countin’ up plaques
[Chorus]
Venom bath, let it burn my skin
Turn that pain to a crown I win
Every ouchie, every wound I’ve worn
Suffer long, then I’m reborn
Venom bath, I’ma sink down deep
Talk to the Lord when I barely sleep
If I’m crawling through the fire and ash
Watch me rise from the venom bath

rap, Brooding trap-rap banger with male vocals; eerie bell loop over booming low-end and crisp hats, verses tight and conversational, hook explodes with stacked, slightly distorted vocals on the title phrase. Ad-libs tucked deep in the reverb, final chorus rides out with extra harmonies and filtered drums for a cinematic fade.
