Remember The Names Ft: IDALTA
It was a straight-up honor to collaborate with the incredibly talented IDALTA on this track. “Remeber the Names” is more than a song, it’s a lyrical clash of fire and calm, chaos and control, raw scars and unshakable truth. Two voices. Two flames. One inferno. I was made in the wreckage. IDALTA stands strong in the storm. Together? We forged something that cuts through both shadow and light. Go show love to my brother in bars, check him out at @jesus_frees_us 🎧 Here’s his version of the track: https://suno.com/song/6de11cdd-5276-4d3b-9406-e58f27973d04 You already know... When we both speak? You remember the names. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Tonic] I was born in the smoke, raised by the flame Every verse I spit got death in the name No peace in my pen, just static and scars I ain’t write songs, I fashioned 'em from wars They say I’m too raw, too off the rails My notebook bleeds where the halo fails But when the match hits and it all turns black (That’s when I whisper) (Call IDALTA back) [Tonic & IDALTA] Light the flame but don't get close Heaven and hell both ride this flow One talks wild, one moves cold But together? Boy, we break that mold We don’t flinch, we don’t freeze Scars on the page and blood in the beats Peace or pain, what path you choose Either way, we both break through [IDALTA] When I step in the ring, I hear the crowd shout the enemy’s name In these moments I feel peace, like the drops of water in heavy rain Whether I win or lose I think on the message I'm trying to convey Thinking 'bout what I say, trying not to just go away Closing my eyes Thinking only of breaths Makes me realize I have a lot left To give To do To achieve in this world So much there is left Time to watch it unfurl Death’s on standby In a timeout this time [Tonic] You tossed peace to the wind, I caught it in flames Built my throne outta smoke, gave my scars a name I don’t run from the storm, I scream at the sky If the world wanna burn, then I’m the reason why I don’t pray for the rain, I dance in the drought Voice like thunder when I let it out No puppet, no pastor, no leash on my lane You want clean verses? Look up a saint [Tonic & IDALTA] Light the flame but don't get close Heaven and hell both ride this flow One talks wild, one moves cold But together? Boy, we break that mold We don’t flinch, we don’t freeze Scars on the page and blood in the beats Peace or pain, what path you choose Either way, we both break through [Tonic & IDALTA] We walk through fire with voices raised Two paths, same war, same flames, same blaze One speaks light, one roars through pain But both still bleed in the sound we claim No masks here, no lines rehearsed This is purpose carved from hurt So if you listen close, you’ll hear the thread Two souls still fight where the silence bled [IDALTA] He tried messing with what's mine He won't be stepping out of line Satan trying to push me to thinking it's just luck Like success was just a chance and not God's love I won't fall for that lie, can't sell me out for a buck You'd think he’d know by now that I don't give a– What? Did you think I would cuss? (Hahahahahaha) When the fire ignites It grows with great bounds It consumes and then dies On that empty plain ground Whenever you see sparks The water wipes it out And all that's left is the dark Your thoughts are the only sound Some days you'll be low Wanting to burn it all down But how else will you grow When the rain’s not around? (When the rain's not around?) Don't give up, don't give in Don't give joy to the demons within Music influents so I keep it real, not off topic Try to find peace in the moment (back to you, Hypnotic) [Tonic] I breathe through chaos, born for the wreck Stare death in the eye with a mic to my neck So when IDALTA sends peace through the static and noise I amplify the signal, weaponize the void I've seen angels cry, seen devils sing Still spit truth with a shattered wing This ain’t rap, this is war paint and bone Cracked crown king in a smoke-stained throne [Tonic & IDALTA] So call it balance, call it fate, call it fire and hymn Where his words plant hope, I torch the limb No false prophet, just prophets with flame And when we both speak (You remember the names)
