I Am the Standard

V6-WILD

Standards don’t announce themselves They’re recognized I don’t hunt, I draw what’s meant I don’t force—the rhythm bends to me Fire refined me, scars taught the still I don’t step in spaces, the air rearranges They clock the stride, try to steal the calm But essence can’t be borrowed, it’s carved in the bone I took the weight, I claimed the ground Now the measure stays elevated wherever I’m found No measuring sticks, I don’t race I hold the line, they fall into place I speak in clarity, rooted in proof Once the call is made, there’s no soft retreat I am the standard. Don’t forget what you just heard. I write the code and it holds without give. When I declare—yes you caught it clear— I meant every word. I am the standard so don’t get it twisted By shadows that try to echo. I am the standard and I never drift. I don’t justify what the results already show My worth is fixed, never on the table Lines drawn sharp, purpose locked in If it won’t honor it, it stays outside They copy the frame, sample the current But realness isn’t rehearsed, it’s walked every day I don’t yield, I don’t blur the edge What I raised still stands when the noise fades No measuring sticks, I don’t race I hold the line, they fall into place I speak in clarity, rooted in proof Once the call is made, there’s no soft retreat I am the standard… Don’t forget what you just heard… I write the code and it holds without give… I meant every word. This isn’t posture This is calibration This is paid for This is proven I don’t seek permission I am the benchmark I am the standard. Don’t forget what you just heard. I write the code and it holds without give. When I declare—yes you caught it clear— I meant every word. I am the standard, don’t get it twisted. I am the standard—I don’t deviate.
