Cagged

INTRO (low, eerie)
Mmm… (mmm…)
They call it crazy… (crazy…)
I call it contained… (contained…)
You don’t know what sit in that dark…
HOOK
Am I crazy? I just suffer in silence (silence…)
Got her caged, chained up—kept in confinement (confinement…)
You don’t want her comin’ to the light (nah…)
‘Cause everything she touch gon’ ignite (ignite…)
PROLOGUE
It ain’t madness, it’s managed pain
It ain’t rage, it’s a locked-down flame
I ain’t scared of her—I know her name
I just keep her still so the world stay safe
VERSE 1
Deep in the dark where I buried that side (that side…)
Chains wrapped tight, yeah she claw from inside (inside…)
Every breath feel heavy in my chest (heavy…)
Holdin’ storms that I never expressed (nah…)
They see calm, they don’t see the cage (cage…)
They see smile, they don’t feel the rage (rage…)
I did work just to keep her contained (facts…)
You play crazy, you unlockin’ pain (don’t…)
PRE-CHORUS
(hold up…)
You don’t hear what I’m sayin’ clear (clear…)
This a warnin’, not a game right here (nah…)
CHORUS
Am I crazy? I just suffer in silence (silence…)
Got her caged, chained up—kept in confinement (confinement…)
You don’t want her comin’ to the light (nah…)
‘Cause everything she touch gon’ ignite (ignite…)
VERSE 2
I done trained what was built to explode (explode…)
Turned chaos into somethin’ controlled (controlled…)
But control don’t mean she disappear (nah…)
She just waitin’, sittin’ patient in here (in here…)
Every trigger got a lock I made (made…)
Every thought get checked, then I cage (cage…)
But don’t push like you don’t understand (don’t…)
I been givin’ you a chance after chance (facts…)
PRE-CHORUS
(yeah…)
You see peace, but it’s pressure below (below…)
One wrong move and she lettin’ it go (go…)
CHORUS
Am I crazy? I just suffer in silence (silence…)
Got her caged, chained up—kept in confinement (confinement…)
You don’t want her comin’ to the light (nah…)
‘Cause everything she touch gon’ ignite (ignite…)
VERSE 3
Now the cage start rattlin’, feel that shift (shift…)
Energy change when I tighten my grip (grip…)
I don’t yell, I don’t need to be loud (nah…)
Real ones feel when the air get clouded (clouded…)
This that side I don’t ever display (ever…)
This that line you don’t cross or you pay (pay…)
I kept her down for the sake of it all (all…)
But don’t be shocked if I answer that call (don’t…)
BRIDGE
(low → rising tension…)
You don’t want her… (nah…)
You don’t need her… (nah…)
I kept her buried for a reason… (reason…)
But pressure build… and chains weaken… (weaken…)
FINAL CHORUS
Am I crazy? Or you scared of the truth? (the truth…)
That I’m holdin’ back more than I show you (show you…)
You don’t want her comin’ to the light (nah…)
‘Cause everything she touch gon’ ignite (ignite…)
OUTRO (calm, chilling)
Mmm… (mmm…)
Don’t play with me… (don’t…)
That ain’t emotion… that’s a warning… (warning…)
I’m in control…
But don’t make me prove it…
