Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie I ran from the truth, but the truth caught my eye Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Looked in the mirror, can’t hide when you die Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Hurt too many, now I’m asking why Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Wasn’t made forever, now I’m scared to try Used to think I’m built for the throne, Heart made of stone, cold to the bone. Did dirt, threw words like sticks and knives, Didn’t care who I cut just to feel alive. Ghosted love, burned bridges with pride, Laughed when they cried, now I swallow my tide. Death ain’t a myth, it knocked at my soul— Said, “Clock’s ticking, time to pay what you stole.” I got blood on my hands, silence in calls, Text threads empty, names on walls. I ain’t bulletproof, I ain’t divine— I’m just another lost soul on a deadline. Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie I ran from the truth, but the truth caught my eye Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Looked in the mirror, can’t hide when you die Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Hurt too many, now I’m asking why Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Wasn’t made forever, now I’m scared to try Told myself I’d live like a legend, But legends die too, that’s the lesson. Stacked up pain, never made confessions, Now my heart’s full of missed connections. Momma prayed, I laughed and swerved, Friends got close, I broke their nerves. Now I’m tryna make peace with the past, But some scars don’t fade, they just last. So I write with a pen dipped in guilt, On pages stained with the life I built. If grace is a bridge, I’m tryna walk it, But first, gotta own it—I can’t just talk it. Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie I ran from the truth, but the truth caught my eye Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Looked in the mirror, can’t hide when you die Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Hurt too many, now I’m asking why Ashes don’t lie, nah, ashes don’t lie Wasn’t made forever, now I’m scared to try Ashes don’t lie
