Echoes of silence

Yo, two years back, the world went dark,

Lost my pops, lost my sis, man, that hit my heart,

Every day's a struggle, tryna keep my head straight,

But some days, I break, man, it's hard to negotiate.

Echoes of silence, they drown out the fight,

I’m ballin’ through the pain, but it don’t feel right,

Got the weight of the world, like a motherfucka heavy,

Stay strong in the game, but I'm not always ready.

Bad news hit, like a punch to the gut,

Family’s a fortress, but mine’s fallen shut,

Thugs in the shadows, whisperin' my name,

But I flex through the sorrow, ain't playin’ no game.

Echoes of silence, they drown out the fight,

I’m ballin’ through the pain, but it don’t feel right,

Got the weight of the world, like a motherfucka heavy,

Stay strong in the game, but I'm not always ready.

Some days I smile, just a mask on my face,

But inside I'm a warrior, holdin' onto grace,

Bitches call me crazy, say I’m lost in the night,

But I'm just a soldier, ready for the next fight.

Memories haunt me, like ghosts in my mind,

Every laugh, every tear, they’re one of a kind,

Niggas try to flex, but they don’t know the pain,

I’m hustlin' through the storm, dancin' in the rain.

Echoes of silence, they drown out the fight,

I’m ballin’ through the pain, but it don’t feel right,

Got the weight of the world, like a motherfucka heavy,

Stay strong in the game, but I'm not always ready.

So I rise from the ashes, like a phoenix in flight,

Carrying my legacy, I’ll shine through the night,

Echoes of silence, won’t define who I am,

I’m still standing tall, here I make my stand.

Echoes of silence, yeah, echoes of pain,

But I’m fighting for my family, I'm breaking the chain.
