Must include: catchy hook, 2 adlibs, 1 punchline

Funny how space show you who really there (yeah)

Silence got loud, but the vision got clear (uh)

I was ten toes down when the room went empty

No applause, just drive and a mind on steady

I told my pain “wait”, I got work to do

Turned long nights into a better view

They said “trust me”, then they switched sides

Left me with truth I couldn’t disguise

I took that hurt, put it straight in the grind

Now every scar got a dollar sign

I don’t hate you, I just learned the math

If loyalty fake, I subtract your path

I gave chances out like free advice

Now access cost and the fee is life

I used to chase people, now I chase peace

Cut off the noise, let the progress speak

Built from distance, I don’t beg, I build (I build)

Cold world made my focus steel (focus steel)

They left when it hurt, came back for the thrill

But the door stayed locked and it always will

Built from distance, now my circle tight (so tight)

No fake love in my line of sight (line of sight)

Betrayal cut deep but it healed me right

Now I move in silence and I sleep at night (yeah)

I remember days I was doubting myself

Same ones watching now proud of my health

Funny how time make the story flip

They ain’t help row but they want the ship

I don’t argue, I archive names

File them under lessons, not under pain

Punchline — hear it clear when the bass drop low:

I don’t need closure, I just let go

I keep receipts in the way I move

If you switched once, you got something to prove

I got dreams too big for revenge

Every minute forward is money I spend

I don’t chase shadows, I walk in light

If you left in the dark, stay out my sight

Yeah… it stung, but it set me free

Some doors close for clarity

If you real, you don’t disappear

If you fake, you was never here

Built from distance, I don’t beg, I build

Cold world made my focus steel

They left when it hurt, came back for the thrill

But the door stayed locked and it always will

Built from distance, now my circle tight

No fake love in my line of sight

Betrayal cut deep but it healed me right

Now I move in silence and I sleep at night
