I stayed grounded Soul from the underground sound, I’m surrounded By beats, dreams, late nights where the hunger was loudest Now they lookin’ at SILL-E like the one that’s about it I built this lane from the dirt and static Soul loops mixed with cinematic habits Still got hunger, never moved too flashy Cause legends move different — they don’t gotta announce it [Hook] Times changing, but the pain still the same Cold nights, hard roads, still prayin’ for the change SILL-E on the track, put respect on the name Now the whole city vibin’ when they yellin’ out my name Times changing, everybody chase fame Everybody got bars, everybody got game But the real stay solid through the pressure and rain SILL-E bring heat, let the whole world flame [Verse 2 — Eminem-inspired aggressive flow] Yeah— Back in the basement pacing and thinking of ways I could make it People was laughing and hating, now suddenly saying I’m dangerous I was embracing the struggle while fighting the doubt and the anguish Now every beat get demolished whenever my name in the playlist I got a mind full of static Pain and ambition combined with the madness Most of these rappers just rhyme for reactions I rhyme like my life and survival attached it See I done came from the bottom Dreams in the dark while the world tried to stop ‘em Now I’m evolving, creating a problem Cause every time I get on it I body the topic Too driven, too different, too focused No gimmicks, just soul in the quotes and Real life pain mixed with hope and emotion SILL-E got the fire, now the whole crowd exploded [Hook — louder / anthem energy] Times changing, but the pain still the same Cold nights, hard roads, still prayin’ for the change SILL-E on the track, put respect on the name Now the whole city vibin’ when they yellin’ out my name Times changing, everybody chase fame Everybody got bars, everybody got game But the real stay solid through the pressure and rain SILL-E bring heat, let the whole world flame [Verse 3 — Bone Thugs-inspired fast melodic flow] Wake up, get the grind on, ride on, survive through the night-time SILL-E with the mind strong, fight on, still keep the light on Pain in the melody, rhythm inside of me, nobody stopping me Came from the bottom, the hunger was part of me, now ain’t no topping me Move with the speed of a runaway train now Everybody wanna come around, they changed now I was in the dark with the beats and the pain sounds Now when the bass hit hard make the whole crowd break down Oh no—here we go with the flow so critical Spiritual rhythm with a lyrical miracle People wanna doubt but the vision was visual Now I’m finna rise and survive through the digital Livin’ in a cold world, still I keep faith though Tryna make a way while I dodge all the fake souls All I ever wanted was respect and a bankroll Now the whole crowd sing when the hook and the bass roll Ride with me, vibe with me, SILL-E keep the fire lit AI with the soul and the pain, I inspire with it Every single beat got life when I’m rhymin’ it Times changing but the real survive inside of it [Final Hook — crowd chant] Times changing, but the pain still the same SILL-E worldwide, yeah they know the name From the underground nights to the fortune and fame Still real, never changing for the money or the game Times changing — hands high to the sky If you came from the struggle let ‘em know you survived SILL-E on the beat and the speakers on fire Turn the whole thing up — let the legends arrive** [Outro] SILL-E… Times are changing… But the soul stay forever…
