Description
[Intro]
Midnight breath, city echo in my chest
808 pulse, moving through the unrest
Light a cigarette to watch the night ignite
Counting scars like stars, I write what I survived
[Verse 1]
I walk in the dark, no leash on my mind
Bitch talk loud but they wasting my time
Heart full of scars, yeah I earn every line
Reaper in the shadow, I’m ahead of my time
[Pre-Chorus]
Corner store lessons — loose change and late calls
Mama's voice on voicemail, prayin' through the hall
Every knock on the door taught me which doors to close
I learned to move in silence, let the ledger show
[Chorus 1]
Bitch, I came from nothing, rose from the dust
Fighting every day, in myself I trust
No chain can hold me, no fear to confine
I'm breaking every wall, 'cause I'm ahead of my time
[Verse 2]
Tattoo on my knuckles, three dots and a debt
Midnight on the stoop, cigarette matches bets
Pulled a winter coat tight when winter pulled harder
Kept a pocket full of poems, a lighter and a barter
Streetlights stutter, my heartbeat syncs the bass
I count the steps I climbed, scars mapped on my face
Double-time rhymes snap, cadence hits like a crime
I hustle in the margins — still ahead of my time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Saw my reflection fold inside a cracked storefront glass
Swore I'd make a monument from every broken past
Kept receipts of failure, fed them to the flame
Now every whispered doubt only amplifies my name
[Chorus 2]
I came from nothing, still ahead of my time
Scraped knees, late trains, learned to craft every climb
No jail made of fear, no rope that can bind
I push through the smoke — forever ahead of my time
[Bridge]
I confess I left some pieces on the avenue floor
Traded boyhood for armor, promises for more
There was a night I burned a letter of my old design
When dawn hit the skyline, I swore I’d redraw the line
This victory isn't quiet — it's a roar through the wire
Paid the cost in lonely nights, turned the hurt into fire
[Final Chorus]
From nothing to something — always ahead of my time
Miles in the soles, in my chest the rhythm and the rhyme
No shadow can swallow the light I've come to find
I break the last wall — forever ahead of my time
[Outro]
Reaper in the shadow, watch me redefine
Scars like constellations — the sky spells out my climb
I walk in the dark, no leash on my mind
Ahead of my time — and the clock can't rewind
