[Intro]
[whispered, distant]
They only hear the screams…
But never the whispers.
⸻
[Verse 1]
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.
⸻
[Chorus] [sung]
🎵 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.
⸻
[Verse 2]
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.
⸻
[Chorus]
🎵 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.
⸻
[Outro] [spoken, fading echo]
Shhh…
Don’t wake the demons.
They sleep…
Until the beat drops.
