[Intro - spoken word cold and dry] Yeah He came up with no safety net Nobody there to catch him when he fell Just him his demons And the sound that kept on playing [Verse 1] Homie grew up in an apartment full of pain and shame Two broken souls drowning bottles every day the same No hugs no hot meals no goodnight no peace of mind Just two walking ghosts who left their child behind So he built himself alone learning cold hard facts Figured out real quick ain't nobody got his back Rage in his gut and emptiness carved deep in his chest A kid thrown to the wolves --- life put him to the test Streets taxed him heavy just to show him how it goes Savage world where you learn fast or you fold Every slap received got carved into his brain like stone Life a cold arrogant b*tch who left him on his own But he had his crew --- not blood --- the real ones who stayed Brothers who never judged him --- knew his story every page Who understood the whole film without him saying a word The only ones who mattered --- the only ones who heard [Hook] No family but brothers holding it down for real No roof but the sound giving him something to feel Life owes him nothing --- he owes it nothing back He stays standing tall --- loyalty is all he had [Chorus - women chorus follow] Sound is his brother --- the only one who never left his side When everything collapsed the sound became his guide They share everything they clash they don't always agree But the message gets delivered --- that's the only creed Sound pulled him back from madness saved him from the worst An iron crutch on a broken mind about to burst For every soul out there who needs this just to breathe Sound like a brother --- teaching him how to believe [Verse 2] He breaks down every beat like others read the stars Finds in the melodies the story of his scars Feels what the next man buried deep inside his pain Because suffering through music is how he stays sane Sound is the language between the souls that bleed We recognize each other --- plant the same seed A message thrown in darkness always finds its light Landing on the ones who needed it to fight He studied every bassline like a map of his own wounds Found the warmth in frequencies filling empty rooms In every chord an answer to the questions no one solved Sound like a father --- sound like a mother --- problems dissolved He ain't bitter he ain't broken he just learned to stand Music gave him everything that life had never planned Built himself from nothing with a speaker and a track The sound became his armor --- and he never looked back [Hook] No family but brothers holding it down for real No roof but the sound giving him something to feel Life owes him nothing --- he owes it nothing back He stays standing tall --- loyalty is all he had [Chorus - women chorus follow] Sound is his brother --- the only one who never left his side When everything collapsed the sound became his guide They share everything they clash they don't always agree But the message gets delivered --- that's the only creed Sound pulled him back from madness saved him from the worst An iron crutch on a broken mind about to burst For every soul out there who needs this just to breathe Sound like a brother --- teaching him how to believe [Bridge - slowed down raw and direct] This right here is for you who recognize the tale For you holding on through a beat when everything goes stale For you searching in the sound for what life took away Know that he held on too --- and he still here today Music never judges takes whatever pain you throw Gives you back the pieces of yourself you didn't know Strips away the noise until the truth is all that's left Sound like a lifeline --- saving souls from certain death [Outro - fading over the beat] He had nobody But he had the sound And the sound showed him everything That love was supposed to teach him He spits now For those who need it Like he needed it Sound like a brother Forever [chorus follow]
