Verse 1 ()
I came from the static where the signal was weak,
Had to talk to myself just to sharpen my speech.
They told me “wait your turn,” I said “time don’t exist,”
I been carving my lane with the edge of the risk.
I’m the proof of the pressure, the stain in the suit,
I don’t rap for acceptance—I bleed in the booth.
I turned hunger to syntax, my pain got a grammar,
Every bar like a brick, I’m constructing a hammer.
I seen stars fall fast tryna mimic the glow,
I was learning the dark, I was building the code.
You can hear it in cadence—this ain’t overnight,
This is years of restraint finally touching the mic.
I don’t flex for the crowd, I converse with the void,
Every doubt I defeated just sharpened my poise.
If the crown ever slips, I won’t scramble or plead,
I was born with the weight, I been training to lead.

Vocal Refrain (Beyoncé-style)
(Majestic, slow-burn, almost spiritual)
🎶
I’ve been holding the fire
In the palm of my hands
Every tear turned to power
Now I finally stand
If the world tries to break us
We rise when it calls
From the cracks in the pavement
We were born to evolve

Verse 2 ()
They mistake being silent for lacking a voice,
I was loading the cannon, not making the noise.
I don’t need validation, I been chose by the grind,
Every scar on my heart left a gem in my mind.
I ain’t chasing the moment, I am the arrival,
If they doubted the flame, let ‘em stand in the fire.
I survived where belief was a luxury item,
Had to learn how to win when the odds weren’t inviting.
I been dancing with failure, it taught me my steps,
Every loss was a rep, now I breathe under stress.
They say “pressure make diamonds,” well I’m cut from the core,
I don’t shine for the light—I bend light when I walk.
If the gatekeepers listening, don’t blink or you’ll miss it,
This ain’t luck, this is destiny sharpened by distance.
When they speak on the future, my name in the thread—
I didn’t come to go viral, I came to be legend.
⸻
Final Vocal Refrain (Beyoncé-style – Lift & Resolve)
🎶
We don’t fade, we ascend
Through the smoke, through the pain
Every fall made us kings
Every loss left a flame
If the heavens are watching
Let ‘em witness it all
From the ground to the stars
We were born to stand tall
🎶
