[Intro—Melodic Instrumental with 808 Kickers] Quiet don’t mean weak Sometimes it mean locked n loaded [Verse 1] I been walking with the weight but I never showed strain Feelings in a cage, Mind in a maze Locking in resilience I unblock the gate Power in the silence, pressure make diamonds from the pain Had the spark all along, just asleep inside the haze They wanted me play small keep the peace and stay in my lane But a lion don’t roar till it recognizes its name Every loss was a lesson, every scar brought clarity Every night I was praying, not knowing what lived inside me Built walls just to survive the weather Didn’t know the calm and the storm lived together I was searching for signs in the sky above Whole time the source was in my blood - In my lungs [Pre-Chorus] Breath slow, feel the ground under feet Heartbeat sync with the kick and the beat I don’t chase, I align, then I move What was dormant inside of me, now breaking through [Chorus] I been glowing in the dark, I was never off track Just asleep to the fact I been holding this back Now the pressure turn calm, and the calm turn flame I don’t look for the power — I remembered my name Yeah, I remember my name Woke up, felt the change I was built for the weight Now I walk in my strength [Verse 2] Mirror talk got me peeling the layers Found gold in the cracks, found truth in the failures No words spoken, presence felt, heavy in the room Real kings don’t rush when building a kingdom. Every doubt was a test of belief Every fear tried to put me to sleep But the mind get sharper when the soul gets still Now my vision clear and my will strong enough seal the deal I don’t flex for the crowd - I breathe I don’t beg for the throne - I see Everything I need - within my reach I was energy learning lessons life had to teach [Pre-Chorus] Bass hum like a pulse in the chest Guitar cries dreams I ain’t said yet I don’t force, I allow, I choose What was locked inside finally able to let loose [Chorus] I been glowing in the dark, I was never off track Just asleep to the fact I been holding this back Now the pressure turn calm, and the calm turn flame I don’t look for the power — I remembered my name Yeah, I remember my name Woke up, felt the change I was built for the weight Now I feel great walkin’ in my strength [Bridge] Still waters, deep mind Late bloom, right time Every step divine When you trust the design I don’t fight what I am I don’t run from the fire I inhale, then I rise This the calm before higher [Verse 3] No rush in my stride, I’m exact Future talkin’ back when I act Ain’t no luck, just alignment I was rich before I defined it Old me was asleep, new me aware Same soul, just breathe different air I don’t chase validation or proof I move quiet, but I move the truth [Outro / Chorus Soft Reprise] (Drums strip back, bass and guitar breathe) I been glowing in the dark… Remembering who you are… Yeah… Sometimes the power don’t wake up loud It wakes up calm
