[Verse 1]
Blood on my conscience, stains on my name
They talk on my past like they know all the pain
Old shootings in my shadow when I walk in the rain
See the flash in my mind every time that it rain
I was sleepin’ with the guilt, now I’m grindin’ awake
Trauma in my chest that a bandage can’t fix
Had to clean my own hands, had to wrestle my rage
Turn the trigger finger focus into turnin’ the page
[Chorus]
I been fightin’ all my demons in the dark, in the dark (yeah)
Still grindin’ like I never had a start, had a start
I don’t listen when they doubt me, they just bark, they just bark (nah)
‘Cause my old shootings come outta me and tear ’em apart
I been wrestlin’ with the man in the glass, in the glass
Turnin’ every single scar to a path, to a path
They keep talkin’ but I’m leavin’ ’em in past, in the past
‘Cause my old shootings come outta me and move me fast
[Verse 2]
Voices in my head say I’ll never be free
Same ones outside tryna laugh at me
They ain’t seen late nights, sweats, bad dreams
Floor full of shells only I can see
Had to learn self-love with a chip on my teeth
Put the pain in a verse, put the hurt on a beat
Every doubt that they throw, that’s a drill for me
I do laps round hate, that’s conditioning
[Chorus]
I been fightin’ all my demons in the dark, in the dark (yeah)
Still grindin’ like I never had a start, had a start
I don’t listen when they doubt me, they just bark, they just bark (nah)
‘Cause my old shootings come outta me and tear ’em apart
I been wrestlin’ with the man in the glass, in the glass
Turnin’ every single scar to a path, to a path
They keep talkin’ but I’m leavin’ ’em in past, in the past
‘Cause my old shootings come outta me and move me fast
