I came from the silence, from streets full of smoke
Where the truth gets twisted and the strong barely cope
No silver plates, just cold nights and cement
Learned more from the struggle than the money ever meant
I walked with the ghosts, had meals with the doubt
Built a mind like a fortress when the lights all went out
They said I wouldn’t make it, that I’d fold like the rest
Now I carve through the noise with a fire in my chest
Never begged, never broke, never bent to the pressure
Kept my soul clean while I counted my lesser
Lost friends to the void, but I’m still on my lane
Now I rhyme with the pain, every bar leaves a stain
Eyes wide in the silence, I don't flinch when it's dark
Got a storm in my blood and a flame in my heart
They can watch from the distance, I don't need their cheer
I’ve been fighting with the shadows, I got nothing to fear
Let the violins cry, let the drums hit slow
This is more than a beat – it’s a story I know
When the walls start to close and the lights start to dim
I just look at the sky and remember to win
I seen hope disappear like smoke in the breeze
Seen loyalty turn to lies with shocking ease
Had to smile through the loss, had to bleed through the doubt
Kept a blade in my thoughts and a map for my route
They don't know what it's like when the fridge is all air
When the heat don't work and the world don’t care
But I carried my name like a jewel in the dirt
Now I speak for the quiet ones, silenced by hurt
Not a product of trends, I’m a mirror of truth
With a past that was heavy and a future uncouth
But I polish my scars, turn the pain into gold
And I write what I lived, every verse gets bold
Eyes wide in the silence, I don't flinch when it's dark
Got a storm in my blood and a flame in my heart
They can watch from the distance, I don't need their cheer
I’ve been fighting with the shadows, I got nothing to fear
Let the violins cry, let the drums hit slow
This is more than a beat – it’s a story I know
When the walls start to close and the lights start to dim
I just look at the sky and remember to win
And if I fall, I fall forward, no shame in the bruise
‘Cause I chose every path, even knowing I’d lose
But I rose every time with a sharper mind
Built a throne out of trials that the world left behind
This ain’t music for the rich or the flawless kind
It’s a hymn for the kids with the haunted mind
So if you feel me, let it ride with the strings
This is more than a verse – this is soul with wings.
Eyes open wide,
Not chasing applause, just a reason to rise.
Let ‘em talk, let ‘em laugh, I’ve seen worse in the mirror,
But I never lost hope – I just made it clearer.
