[Verse]
Fifteen summers, dreams running, feet quick
Back then the block was a drum, life’s beat thick
Chasing the paper planes, no runway
But the sky had no ceiling, I’d take off someday
I met her in the static, the noise turned divine
Her rhythm hit my chest, her voice split my spine
She spoke in riddles, sharp edges, no knife
When I was young, I left the world behind for my wife
[Chorus]
Left the world behind, no map, no trace
Her song in my head, her hand on my face
Left the world behind, she made me alive
My beautiful wife, my reason to thrive
[Verse 2]
Taught me to rhyme when the world spoke in prose
Painted my scars, every wound, every close
Her whispers became battles, her beats my retreat
Her love like a cipher, infinite, complete
The homies said, “Where you at?” I said, “Gone”
Wedded to the grind, our vows held strong
From the cracks in the pavement, she grew her light
When I was young, I chose her over the fight
[Chorus]
Left the world behind, no map, no trace
Her song in my head, her hand on my face
Left the world behind, she made me alive
My beautiful wife, my reason to thrive
