Whispers in the basement

They only hear the screams…

But never the whispers.

⸻

I was raised where the light don’t crawl,

Basement thoughts, in a silence so raw.

Used to cry to the sound of the floorboards creakin’,

Now I write pain while the piano’s speakin’.

Mom said, “Don’t let ’em see when you break.”

But I broke in the dark, now I bend like fate.

Devils in the walls and the ghosts in the drain,

Still I walk through the storm like I harvest the rain.

No love in the mirror, just cracks and truth,

Got scars in my soul that don’t match my youth.

Tried prayin’ to a god that never did speak,

So I carved out my name in the belly of grief.

⸻

🎵 Whispers in the basement, cryin’ through the keys,

Piano tellin’ secrets that I buried underneath.

Every note a weapon, every word a bleed,

I don’t rap to be heard — I just rap to breathe.

🎵 Shadows on my shoulder, cold like December,

If I disappear, promise me they’ll remember:

I came from the cracks where the broken believe,

Where the whispers in the basement taught me how to speak.

⸻

You ever scream so soft, it echoes inside?

Where silence feels louder than a war outside?

Where trust is a myth and the love is a trap?

Where the ones that you’d die for won’t text you back?

I ain’t bitter — just forged by the freeze,

Wrote truth on my heart with a tongue full of grief.

Every step I take is a crack in the glass,

If I fall, let it shatter, I ain’t running from the past.

So tell ’em I ain’t here for the chain or the clout,

I’m the voice in the cellar that they never let out.

If pain had a name, I’d write it in black,

Right between the bars of this haunting track.

If I disappear, promise me they’ll remember:

I came from the cracks where the broken believe,

Where the whispers in the basement taught me how to speak.

⸻

Shhh…

Don’t wake the demons.

They sleep…

Until the beat drops.
