[Intro – Spoken, raspy tone]
Life don’t hit pause, dawg.
It either breaks you… or you break through.
UH! LET'S GO!
---
[Verse 1]
I came with scars, not a roadmap,
Streets raised a beast, had to own that.
No love, just cold eyes starin’ back,
Mama cried, daddy ghost — I stayed strapped.
Hunger made me hunt in the night,
Every block was a war, every breath a fight.
Brothers dropped, mothers prayed, hope got killed,
But I stood, even when the devil came to seal the deal.
---
[Hook – shout this like a war cry]
NO WAY BACK – once you deep in the dirt, son!
NO LUCK – just the pain and the hurt, son!
NO LIGHT – but I bite through the black!
NO PEACE – ‘til I’m king with a crown on my back!
UH! – NO WAY BACK!
---
[Verse 2]
Feel the pressure like a gun to my head,
Dreams die fast when the rent’s in the red.
No mentor, no path, just the beat in my dome,
Every verse a growl, every rhyme a stone.
Too many graves in my heart to sleep,
Too many nights with no food to eat.
But I don’t fall – I snap, I bark, I fight,
‘Cause this dirt is my kingdom and I earn my right.
---
[Hook – repeat like a prayer with fists up]
NO WAY BACK – once you deep in the dirt, son!
NO LUCK – just the pain and the hurt, son!
NO LIGHT – but I bite through the black!
NO PEACE – ‘til I’m king with a crown on my back!
UH! – NO WAY BACK!
---
[Bridge – low, cold tone]
I bled for respect,
Fought every demon in my chest.
And if I fall, I fall loud, with my teeth in the ground —
‘Cause I live with no regrets.
---
[Outro – Spoken like a threat]
This ain’t rap for clout.
This is bark-from-the-gut sht.*
Either you feel me… or get outta the way.
DMX forever. We don’t fake pain.
