Black Suit Heart

[Verse 1]
I was raised on shut up
Taught to swallow the storm
Smile in a black suit
Bleeding under the form
Mama said “pray soft”
Streets said “talk loud”
So I learned to cry quiet
While I fought for the crown
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar on my chest got a name
Every friend in the ground like a flame
I been dancing on glass in the rain
Still I rise, still I rise through the pain (yeah)
[Chorus]
Black suit heart, but it’s turning gold
I was born in the dark, now I’m burning bold
I was breaking, shaking, dying slow
Now I’m standing on the fire like it’s all I know
(oh, oh) black suit heart, but it’s beating clean
High voices in my head like a choir scream
I was lost in the pit where the shadows glow
Now I’m shouting from the edge, I’m the miracle
[Verse 2]
They said “toughen up, boy
Hide the tremor in your hands”
So I wrapped my hurt in hustle
Built a kingdom out of sand
Had to rage for my life
Every night, every fight, every slight
Spit truth so sharp
Cut the chains off my mind mid-flight (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the fear in my throat sound thin
Every “never” they spoke wearing thin
Got my back to the wall, but I grin
I was carved by the loss, not the win (yeah)
[Chorus]
Black suit heart, but it’s turning gold
I was born in the dark, now I’m burning bold
I was breaking, shaking, dying slow
Now I’m standing on the fire like it’s all I know
(oh, oh) black suit heart, but it’s beating clean
High voices in my head like a choir scream
I was lost in the pit where the shadows glow
Now I’m shouting from the edge, I’m the miracle
[Bridge]
[Choir rises, distant, then close]
Let ’em talk, let ’em doubt, let ’em throw that shade
I was built from the bruise, from the debt unpaid
Every tear that I hid is a war I won
Every “you ain’t enough” just a loaded gun
Now I bite that fear, spit steel, spit flame
Drop weight from my back when I say my name
If my pain is a price, then I overpaid
So I cash that hurt in a brighter day (yeah)
[Chorus]
Black suit heart, but it’s turning gold
I was born in the dark, now I’m burning bold
I was breaking, shaking, dying slow
Now I’m standing on the fire like it’s all I know
(oh, oh) black suit heart, but it’s beating clean
High voices in my head like a choir scream
I was lost in the pit where the shadows glow
Now I’m shouting from the edge, I’m the miracle (yeah)

rap, Moody R&B/rap hybrid with male vocals front and high female background choir. Dark, pulsing low-end and sparse piano stabs in the verses; tight, dry drums leave space for sharp, percussive diction. Choruses bloom into wide, cinematic strings and stacked female choir on soaring harmonies, lifting the hook. Occasional distorted synth swells add menace under the vulnerable lines; last hook punches harder with extra choir layers and ad-lib runs for a triumphant, battle-won feel., r&b, raw, emotional
