[Chorus] Static in my veins, distortion in my chest Every breath feels louder than the rest Deep back hums like a ghost in my teeth When I scream these bars, I don't even breathe [Intro] Yeah Breath in my chest feel heavy But I love that Listen [Verse 1] Came up on hand-me-down shoes, loose laces Bus pass, cold hands, long faces Mama in the kitchen with the late-shift eyes Praying over dishes like "we still gonna rise" Notes in my phone full of half-wrote dreams Clock on the wall kept cutting my schemes Friends fell off, yeah, they dove off track Saw ‘em chase smoke, never made it back [Chorus] Pressure made the diamond outta all this dust Life keep swinging but it still got trust Heart been bruised, but it still gon’ beat So I stand on the pain, plant both my feet Pressure on my name, I don’t ever fold Turn another scar into solid gold If the world get loud, I just breathe, then push Every pressure point hit, still I rise from the crush [Verse 2] Boss talk slick, but the check come late Eating on vibes and a paper plate Scrolling through lives that don’t match my own Comparing my grind to a filtered phone Then I heard me say, "run your race" Stop begging for a seat, build your space Turned my doubts into fuel, that’s gas Every “you can’t” now a joke I pass [Bridge] [low vocal register] Head down, two hands, one shot [whispered vocals] “Keep going” on loop when it all feel lost Look back, see fire where the fear got tossed I ain’t break once, I just shed that cost [Chorus]
