Loaded Past

I don’t talk much, I bleed through beats, Every line got a piece of me, You heard noise, I was speakin’ truth, But you only heard what you needed to… I was meetin’ you where your pain lived, You was fightin’ me like I caused it, I was tryin’ to build somethin’ real, You was busy tryna prove you lost it… That’s the difference, I came open, You came guarded with a loaded past, I was standin’ there with both hands out, You was swingin’ like it wouldn’t last… ⸻ [PRE-HOOK – tension builder] And I swear I tried… I swear I did… But you can’t pour life where it won’t exist… ⸻ [HOOK – full power] I was built to walk through the fire, Even when hope feel like a liar, Gave you my soul, you fed your pain— Now I’m burnin’ just to feel alive… I don’t break, I just get colder, Flames don’t kill me, they mold me over, If it’s love, why it feel like war? Guess I was built… for this hell I’m in 🔥 ⸻ [VERSE 2 – this is where it HITS] Yeah I still got hope and I hate that shit, Know it’s dead but I babysit, Holdin’ onto what could’ve been, While reality keep breakin’ it… That’s the part they don’t talk about, When your heart don’t match your mind, When you KNOW you should walk away— But your soul still stuck in time… And I see myself, yeah I own my flaws, I done faced shit most avoid, I don’t run when it gets too real— I rebuild… I don’t destroy… But you can’t grow two people at once, That’s a war I’ll always lose, So I let you keep your version of me… I’ll go become the truth… ⸻ [BRIDGE – quiet, almost spoken] You ever give someone your purest form… and still not be enough? That’ll either break you… or make you dangerous… ⸻ [FINAL HOOK – biggest, layered, anthemic] I was built to walk through the fire, Even when hope feel like a liar, Gave you my soul, you fed your pain— Now I’m burnin’ just to feel alive… I don’t break, I just get colder, Flames don’t kill me, they mold me over, If it’s love, why it feel like war? Guess I was built… Yeah I was built… FOR THE FIRE 🔥
