Intro (Steam hiss, soft piano loop, ambient pad) Spoken (Crazynapz): "Pressure don’t ask permission. It just builds. And I just breathe." --- Verse 1 (Crazynapz) Steam risin’ off the plate, off my chest, off my name I walk through heat like it owe me somethin’, never chase fame I see my reflection in the fog, but it don’t look the same It look like a man who been tested, who still play the game I hear the hiss of the pan like it’s whisperin’ truth Like it’s tellin’ me, “Keep goin’, even when they doubt you” I feel the weight in my bones, but I still lace the boots Still clock in, still write, still feed, still produce I ain’t just cookin’ meals—I’m cookin’ legacy slow Every burn, every scar, every shift I show I’m the silence in the storm, the calm in the blow I’m the man who don’t fold, who let the pressure grow --- Hook (Melinoe + Child Voice) Steam risin’, Daddy still breathin’ Pain heavy, but he still believin’ Eyes low, but the vision clear He move through the fog, no fear Steam risin’, Mama still prayin’ Hands tired, but she still stayin’ House quiet, but the love loud We hold it down, we make them proud --- Verse 2 (Crazynapz) I hear my son in the steam, sayin’ “Daddy, you strong” I hear my wife in the silence, sayin’ “Baby, hold on” I hear my past in the sizzle, sayin’ “You been here too long” But I hear my future in the rhythm, sayin’ “Keep buildin’ this song” I don’t need applause, I need peace in my chest I don’t need fame, I need sleep and some rest I don’t need shortcuts, I need time to invest I just need space to breathe and give my best I’m the echo of the grind, the hum of the flame I’m the man who show up, who don’t need acclaim I’m the verse that bleed truth, the soul in the frame I’m the father, the cook, the poet with aim --- Hook (Melinoe + Child Voice - Repeat) Steam risin’, Daddy still breathin’ Pain heavy, but he still believin’ Eyes low, but the vision clear He move through the fog, no fear Steam risin’, Mama still prayin’ Hands tired, but she still stayin’ House quiet, but the love loud We hold it down, we make them proud --- Outro (Steam fades, soft piano loop continues) Child Voice (echoed): “Daddy, you don’t stop.” Melinoe (soft harmony): “You were made for this.” Spoken (Crazynapz): "I ain’t just in the heat. I am the heat. And I’m still risin’."
