Tempted to Crash Out

Lyrics [Intro | spoken] Tempted… yeah. But I’m not stupid. [Hook] Tempted to crash out, but I don’t Tempted to black out, but I won’t They want chaos, I don’t I turn that rage into gold Tempted to crash out, but I rise Pressure hit different when you wise Lose control, lose the prize I lock in, that’s why [Verse 1] I been holding my tongue like it’s taped shut Smile on my face, but my heart say “wake up” They poke, they prod, they think it’s a joke Til you snap, then they act like you broke Nah, I’m not broke, I’m overloaded Too many problems, not enough notice I been the solid one, the calm one, the “cool” Til the pressure start talking like it run the room But I learned: rage ain’t leadership Rage ain’t freedom, it’s a leech and shit So I step back, breathe deep, then I aim Cause crashing out just lets them rename my name [Pre-Hook] I feel it in my chest, that heat But I don’t let it drive my feet [Hook] Tempted to crash out, but I don’t… [Verse 2] I’m not scared, I’m just smarter now I don’t need to prove I’m hard right now I need peace, I need paper, I need progress I need goals hit, not a moment of nonsense They want a clip of me losing my mind I want a life where my kids doing fine I want a wife smiling, home feeling safe So I turn all that anger into weight in the gym, into work, into faith [Bridge | stripped] Self-control is power. That’s the flex. [Final Hook] Tempted to crash out, but I don’t…
