Intro – Dontayẽ] (hushed, layered harmonies) Yeah… We turned scars into scriptures… Listen… ⸻ [Hook – Dontayẽ] I been writin’ my pain in invisible ink Now it show when the light hit the side of me Every tear left a stain they could never unlink Now the glow got a price, that’s the irony If you read through my soul, you’ll see poetry Every line got a cut, that’s the code in me I was lost in the dark, now it notice me Turned my echoes to gold, now they quote me ⸻ [Verse 1 – Travis Bentley] I etched truth in the margins of nights I survived Where the silence was loud and the fear felt alive Had to stitch up my will with the thread of my pride Now my presence a storm they can’t stand or divide I remember the hunger had teeth and it bit Every dream felt distant, every win counterfeit Now I balance my past like a scale never tip ‘Cause the weight made me solid, I don’t crumble, I grip I don’t flex, I compose what they fail to decode Every bar like a map, every line like a road From the bottom where hope felt too heavy to hold To a throne built of lessons I paid for in soul ⸻ [Hook – Dontayẽ] I been writin’ my pain in invisible ink Now it show when the light hit the side of me Every tear left a stain they could never unlink Now the glow got a price, that’s the irony If you read through my soul, you’ll see poetry Every line got a cut, that’s the code in me I was lost in the dark, now it notice me Turned my echoes to gold, now they quote me ⸻ [Verse 2 – Travis Bentley] I converse with the shadows that followed my steps Turn regret into rhythm, now I profit from depth Every scar got a language, I’m fluent in stress Now my voice cut through noise like it’s carved in finesse I done danced with despair, made it partner my grind Turned the void to a vault where I sharpen my mind They was lookin’ for flaws, I was searchin’ for signs Now I move with a purpose they can’t redefine I’m a product of pressure but polished in fire Every doubt I dismantled became my supplier Now my reach touch the sky but my roots in the wire Where the struggle still hum like a live amplifier ⸻ [Bridge – Dontayẽ] (soft, haunting) If I bleed on these keys, let it harmonize Every wound got a note when it’s vocalized I was drownin’ in silence, now I’m amplified Turn my pain to a song they can’t categorize ⸻ [Verse 3 – Travis Bentley] I don’t chase validation, I author my worth Every verse like a rebirth, I’m birthing the earth From a place where your value get measured by hurt Now I flip that equation, redefine what it’s worth I’m a mirror to those who ain’t facin’ they truth A reflection of fire that was raised in a booth Where the mic was confession, every take was the proof That the pain had a purpose, I was raisin’ the roof Now they study my cadence like scripture in class Tryna copy the soul but they missin’ the past You can mimic the sound but can’t live what I cast ‘Cause my ink got a heartbeat, it breathe when I rap ⸻ [Final Hook – Dontayẽ + Travis ad-libs] I been writin’ my pain in invisible ink (yeah… speak it…) Now it show when the light hit the side of me Every tear left a stain they could never unlink (pressure turned poetry…) If you read through my soul, you’ll see poetry Every line got a cut, that’s the code in me I was lost in the dark, now it notice me Turned my echoes to gold… now they quote me
