[INTRO]
Funny how space show you who really there (yeah)
Silence got loud, but the vision got clear (uh)
[VERSE 1]
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
[HOOK]
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)
[VERSE 2]
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
[BRIDGE]
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
[FINAL HOOK]
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
