Trigger Don’t Lie (Adebayo Rap)

Yeah…

Born in the shadows of Waller, that legacy heavy as hell in the marrow

Momma said “Do what you gotta,” no question, no conscience, no fear, just the barrel

I ain’t ask for this mission, this isn’t ambition, I’m drowning in secrets I carry

Watching the team that I’m sent here to sabotage growing on me, damn it gets scary

They thinking I’m loyal, they thinking I’m honest, they thinking we bonded

And part of me wanting that bond too, guess trauma respondin’ to trauma, ironic

Chris looking at me with trust in his eyes, and I’m dyin’ inside

He just want someone to ride, someone to say “I got you, even when shit ain't alright”

But I’m lying daily, fake smiling lately, I hate me, I’m shaky

Mission on paper was simple, but real people’s lives ain’t written so vaguely

I ain’t no soldier, I ain’t no killer — but watch how the world gon’ force me to be

Man, they don’t teach you to breathe when the guilt in your lungs is the enemy

---

I ain’t tryin’ to be Waller, but the blood in my veins ain’t clean

Put a mask on, walk calm, but inside I’m split at the seams

Loyalty ain’t never been simple — when the truth ain’t ever been free

But if pulling this trigger gon’ break me

Then fuck it — I’ll shoot to be me.

Yeah, I betrayed the squad, that’s facts

I sold Chris out clean behind his back

Watched him bleed for a country that didn’t want him

Watched him break, rebuild, then become something

And I’m the snake they planted to end him

But he still called me friend — that’s the venom

You don’t know pain ‘til forgiveness is given you don’t deserve

You don’t know weight ‘til the truth hit harder than any gun burst

You don’t know fear ‘til you choose to stand up to the system that made you

I saw myself in the mirror and said, “Girl, the only one caging you is you.”

The butterflies came, the world went mad

Guns went blazing, choices got bad

Lines got crossed, sides got swapped

But when the smoke cleared?

I still stood. I didn’t drop.

Took the mic, spoke truth lyve

Told the world who the hell my mother really was, no lies

I ain’t hiding no more behind legacy ties

If being real means breaking bloodlines?

Then break them — cut that thread — sever spine.

I ain’t tryin’ to be Waller, but the blood in my veins ain’t clean

Put a mask on, walk calm, but inside I’m split at the seams

Loyalty ain’t never been simple — when the truth ain’t ever been free

But if pulling this trigger gon’ break me

Then fuck it — I’ll shoot to be me.

This ain’t redemption

It’s reclamation

Not saving the world

Just saving my damnation

Chris — I see you

Harcourt — I feel you

Econ-uh-mous — you bleed too

We ain’t heroes, we just people

Caught in wars we ain’t agree to

But if I fall

At least I fall see-through

---

No mask

No lies

No mother’s orders disguised

Just me — flawed, shaking, alive

Trigger steady

Hands ready

This time — I choose which side.
