Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was the boy on the back row, lunch tray bent
Sneakers with the soles half gone, rent by rent
Mama worked nights, hands split, mind tired
Dad gone deep in the dark like the house on fire
Kids laughed loud when he walked past slow
Called him “less than,” called him “gone, no show”
So he swallowed that shame like a mouthful of nails
Kept it locked in his chest where the good light fails
At home he practiced a stare in the cracked cheap glass
Told that boy, “One day they gonna feel my past”
Every bruise turned hard, every tear went cold
And the soft kid in him started losing hold
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, “Watch me now”
The room went still
He fed on the hurt
Til the hurt got real
He said, “Watch me now”
When the pressure hit
That little boy died
And the shadows gripped
[Chorus]
He became the monster
Monster in the mirror
He became the monster
Now they all see clearer
He became the monster
Built from all that pain
He became the monster
And it know my name
[Verse 2]
First it was fists in the locker room rain
Then it was lies that he fired like chains
Stole him a crown from a mouth full of fear
Wore it too tight, but the fit felt near
Now he walked in cold like a door with no hinge
Talked real clean with a poison grin
Every bridge he crossed left ash in the wake
Every friend he had learned how to break
He didn’t want love, he wanted the room to shake
Wanted every scar to mean something they’d make
So he fed that beast with a bite and a glare
Till the kid he had been disappeared in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, “Watch me now”
The room went still
He fed on the hurt
Til the hurt got real
He said, “Watch me now”
When the pressure hit
That little boy died
And the shadows gripped
[Chorus]
He became the monster
Monster in the mirror
He became the monster
Now they all see clearer
He became the monster
Built from all that pain
He became the monster
And it know my name
[Bridge]
Mama said, “Baby, come home”
He said, “Home left first”
He kept on running from the kid in the dirt
Then one night, alone with the smoke and the blame
He saw those same old eyes look back in the frame
Not a demon from hell, not a king, not a myth
Just a hurt little child with a knife in his fist
And for one split second he wanted to fall
But the monster in him would not let him call
[Final Chorus]
He became the monster
Monster in the mirror
He became the monster
Now they all see clearer
He became the monster
Built from all that pain
He became the monster
And it know my name
[Outro]
Tell the boy he’s gone
Tell the beast stay near
One made me survive
One made me feared

Hip-hop storytelling rap with a cold boom-bap swing and trap percussion accents; verse rides sparse piano stabs and rubbery bass, pre-chorus strips to handclaps and a snapped snare, chorus hits with grim gang vocal punches and a distorted chant. Lead vocal stays close-mic and gritty with doubled end-rhymes, ad-lib echoes on key words, reverse swells into section turns, and a final chorus lifted by siren-like synths and hard sidechain pump. Bright, hard-edged mix with dusty low end., rap, hip hop
