[Verse 1] I get clear Long enough to stop Not long enough to rest Nothing followed me out That matters Everything else did [Pre-Chorus] I check what still responds What lags What didn’t come back at all [Chorus] This wasn’t a warning This was a test And I barely passed it They know where I can go They know how I move But they didn’t finish it [Verse 2] They kept it contained They kept it quiet That tells me something This wasn’t about speed Or force It was about control [Pre-Chorus] They expected compliance They planned for panic They didn’t plan for friction [Chorus] This wasn’t a warning This was a test To see if I’d break clean Now they know I won’t And I know They’ll come back louder [Bridge] If they wanted me gone I wouldn’t be here If they wanted me erased They wouldn’t hesitate That means I’m still useful And that means I still have time [Final Chorus] This wasn’t a warning This was a test And now it’s different They made the first move In public And they don’t get that back
