[Verse 1] Lights hit, I blinked, didn’t fall They said, “Don’t get high unless you want the crawl” I climbed anyway—bare hands, loose rope Laughed the whole way with a slit-throat hope Now I eat gold on a paper plate Laughed off love ‘til it turned to hate She left. He changed. They talked. I bled. Now I sleep with ghosts and I call them cred Everyone here’s got a knife or a smile I stopped checking which one in a while But I walk like I own this breath I live like I buried death [Pre-Chorus – Fast, Spitting Through Teeth] Every scar on my name is proof I paid Every friend gone quiet? Price I made If you're hoping I trip, then bitch, keep count— I rise so hard it don’t discount [Chorus – Trumpets Blazing, Shouted Like a Rally Cry] Eat your heart out, babe—I made it Built from spit and the mess you hated I’m not kind, I’m not clean, but I arrived On the back of a scream and I survived You want the fall? Keep waiting I’m ten toes down and devastating Yeah, the road’s cracked, and the throne’s rusted— But I’m here. I’m loud. And I’m not to be trusted [Verse 2 – Faster, Meaner] Talk slick ‘bout the path I chose But you were busy folding while I rose I bled style, I cried in code I loved people who still don’t know Now they toast to the mask I wear Act like pain’s not under there But this smile’s duct-taped pride And I dare you to say I didn’t try No net, no guide, no hand to hold Just a mic, a snarl, and a lung full of bold This ain’t luck, it’s blood in form This ain’t grace—it’s goddamn storm [Pre-Chorus 2 – Breathless, Bitter Glory] They said I’d burn, I said “watch me blaze” They said “don’t go,” I said “get out my way” If this is sin, then paint me proud— I made a life, now hear me loud [Chorus 2 – Even Bigger, Horns Screaming] Eat your heart out, babe—I did it With every chain you swore I’d fit in You left, you lied, you sold me short But I cashed that in and built a fort Yeah, the lights burn and the walls lean But I’m more alive than I’ve ever been seen You want me broken? You want me done? Well, sorry—I already won [Bridge – Spoken, Tight, Controlled] This ain’t success. It’s resistance. This ain’t peace. It’s persistence. This ain’t a gift. It’s earned. Every cut. Every turn. And if I fall next? I still stood taller than anyone ever expected me to. [Final Chorus – Shouted Like a Final Word] Eat your heart out, babe—I'm thriving Through every wound you thought I’d die in No love left, no map, no script Just nerve, and grit, and a need to exist I’m not lucky. I’m not blessed. I’m just too damn stubborn to rest Yeah, I’m cracked. I’m frayed. I’m lit. But I’m here. I’m loud. And I never quit.
