(Heavy breath in)
Sometimes the loudest battles are the ones you fight in silence...
---
[Verse 1]
I don’t sleep much...
My thoughts got a mind of their own, and they run when the lights go off
I sit in silence, talk to a God I ain't sure is even listenin’
Feelin’ like I’m fallin’ behind while everybody else keeps winnin’
They say “be strong,” but never teach you how to carry this pain
It’s like breathin’ in trauma and exhalin’ shame
I write bars like letters —
Notes to myself hopin' maybe one day they’ll make sense
In a world that’s quick to judge but slow to understand
And I’m tryna stand...
But my knees shake from the weight of what I never planned
---
[Chorus]
I put my soul in the ink, let my scars do the speakin’
A broken heart on the beat, but I’m still breathin’
This ain’t just rap, it’s a mirror of my fight
A diary of nights I had to battle for my light
If you wanna know my pain... don’t ask — just read my verse
Every line bleeds truth, every word still hurts
So don’t judge what you hear if you ain’t lived my curse
If you really wanna know me…
Then read my verse
---
[Verse 2]
19, I'm young... dumb... trapped in my head
Tryna move from a boy to a man, but the pressure never rests
The struggles keep hittin' — like wave after wave
Feels like I’m trapped in a world full of crime, hatred, and rage
But what keeps me movin’ is the word from my mom
Said “Never give up, son — just hold on, stay strong”
“It’s your time, you’re gettin’ close, that's why it’s tough”
'Cause the devil throws hands when the harvest is up
And what’s for me... will find me — soon
---
[Chorus]
I put my soul in the ink, let my scars do the speakin’
A broken heart on the beat, but I’m still breathin’
This ain’t just rap, it’s a mirror of my fight
A diary of nights I had to battle for my light
If you wanna know my pain... don’t ask — just read my verse
Every line bleeds truth, every word still hurts
So don’t judge what you hear if you ain’t lived my curse
If you really wanna know me…
Then read my verse
---
[Verse 3]
I lost the only woman who never played with my pain
My mama — the one who held me down through every hurricane
They took her life... not with reason, but with envy and spite
Wicked hearts, jealous minds — they couldn't stand her light
She didn’t get to see the seeds she planted start to grow
Didn’t taste the fruit of her labor or hear my name echo
No goodbye... just silence
No last words, just violence
I still hear her voice when I’m lost in the dark
Sayin’ “Keep goin’, son — let your wounds make art”
---
[Chorus, Final Emotional Delivery]
I put my soul in the ink, let my scars do the speakin’
A broken heart on the beat, but I’m still breathin’
This ain’t just rap, it’s a mirror of my fight
A diary of nights I had to battle for my light
If you wanna know my pain... don’t ask — just read my verse
Every line bleeds truth, every word still hurts
So don’t judge what you hear if you ain’t lived
