[Spoken Intro – Deep Voice Over Piano, Like a Farewell Letter]
Through the crash, through the hurt, through the silence…
Y’all ain’t always understand me.
But y’all built me.
Both of y’all did.
⸻
[Hook – Anthemic Trap Melody, Real + Heavy]
I ain’t break ‘cause y’all built me strong
Mom’s soft touch, Pop’s hands like stone
Didn’t see all the tears I spilled
But the reason I breathe is the house y’all built
Through hell, through fights, through nights with no sleep
It was both of y’all that held that seat
So if I’m still standin’, if I still dream
It’s ‘cause both of y’all raised a fuckin’ machine
⸻
[Verse 1 – From the Pain, Pops First]
Pops ain’t say much, just moved like war
Taught me more in his silence than lectures or lore
Showed me how to walk when the floor collapse
How to take pain, turn it into a trap
He ain’t hug much, but I felt that pride
In the way he stared when I stepped outside
Taught me how to fight for respect, not clout
Now I walk like I earned every scar I shout
He was rough, but the love ran deep
Built the man who ain’t fold in heat
When I almost died in that whip, no cap
His voice said, “Survive. Don’t look back.”

[Hook – Stronger Now, More Clarity]
I ain’t break ‘cause y’all built me strong
Mom’s soft touch, Pop’s hands like stone
Didn’t see all the tears I spilled
But the reason I breathe is the house y’all built
Through hell, through fights, through nights with no sleep
It was both of y’all that held that seat
So if I’m still standin’, if I still dream
It’s ‘cause both of y’all raised a fuckin’ machine
⸻
[Verse 2 – Mom’s Strength, Emotional + Honest]
Mom held space when my heart went cold
Spoke with peace when the anger took hold
She ain’t judge when I slipped in pain
Just sat close till the storms got tame
She seen the cracks, knew what I hid
Loved the broken me like she always did
She ain’t raise no fake, no punk, no fraud
She raised a king who still talk to God
Held the light when the room went black
Taught me to feel and still fight back
Every rap I spit, every breath I take
Got a piece of her soul in the moves I make
⸻
[Hook – Full Energy, Background Harmonies]
I ain’t break ‘cause y’all built me strong
Mom’s soft touch, Pop’s hands like stone
Didn’t see all the tears I spilled
But the reason I breathe is the house y’all built
Through hell, through fights, through nights with no sleep
It was both of y’all that held that seat
So if I’m still standin’, if I still dream
It’s ‘cause both of y’all raised a fuckin’ machine

[Outro – Spoken, Soft Guitar Fading Out]
I took a lot of Ls.
Nearly died.
Nearly gave up.
But I ain’t fall…
‘Cause both of y’all… built me to rise.
Always systematic
