People know I got the message, pressure make it clearer Truth heavy in my chest, couldn’t whisper if I feared ya Locked out, censored halls, still I walk in uninvited Hundred questions in my pocket, every one of ’em ignited So why you break when she stand unscarred? Programmed rage look weak from where we are They made the cage gold, called the lock a dream Clock-punch religion, paper moldin’ the seams I been barefoot in the static, found peace in the mess World built for touch, not a cubicle test (Feel that) Full-moon pupils, I don’t miss what’s implied Truth cut clean when you stop pickin’ a side Above and below hum the same refrain (Listen) What I chased my whole life was inside my veins From the shadow I rise, from the hush I ignite Breath make the form, yeah, I’m breathin’ it right They gave fear a mic, I unplugged the lie Every word I release redesigns the sky (Redesigns the sky… yeah) Mask on in public, role-dealer on stage Private storms turn a breakdown to alchemy rage I look human mid-breakthrough, live-wire glowin’ Planet in my chest, you can hear it when I’m flowin’ Free will ain’t chains, it’s a map with some burn I bend with the wind, let the lesson return From silence I rose, from shadow I sing “Never was the lock, always been the key ring” They want me boxed in a title, confined to a name But I’m breath before language, fire before flame (You hear me?) Still barefoot walkin’ like I’m headed home (Barefoot, yeah) Truth heavy in my chest, couldn’t whisper if I feared ya From the shadow I rise— (Rise!) Above and below hum the same refrain What I chased my whole life was inside my veins From the shadow I rise, from the hush I ignite Breath make the form, yeah, I’m breathin’ it right They gave fear a mic, I unplugged the lie Every word I release redesigns the sky Still barefoot walkin’ like I’m headed home (Headed home… yeah) From silence I rose, from shadow I sing “Never was the lock, always been the key ring” (Always been the key…)
