(Intro) Ight,.. ight,.. with the speed as fast as light, When I pick up this pen, better be ready, to see me ignite. (Verse 1) They hurled them names, sharp like shattered glass on the floor, Narcissistic stain, parasite leechin', leavin' me raw and sore. Sperm donor whisper, a venomous dart aimed right at my pride, Sorry excuse they spat, I'm finding places to rise. (Verse 2) Deadbeat dad echo, a hauntin' refrain in the lonely night, No good drug addict label, tryin' to extinguish my inner light. Absentee father branded, a scarlet letter burned in my soul, A never-endin' saga of judgment takin' its heavy toll. (Chorus) Ight, ight, with the speed as fast as light, When I pick up this pen, better be ready, to see me ignite. I don't write 'cause it's just somethin' I like, I write 'cause this is my life. I don't go soft, I go hard, better be ready if you someone tryna stay buried, 'Cause my past is comin' unhurried, keep up, keep up, my past is 'bout to erupt! (Verse 3) But those weaponized words, they lost their venom, their poisonous sting, Each cruel accusation a hammer blow, makin' my spirit sing A different tune now, a defiant and powerful sound, From the depths of the darkness, solid ground I finally found. (Verse 4) Like, "Bitch, who the hell you think you are, standin' there so high?" Lookin' down your nose, while my broken pieces beneath you lie. You see the surface shimmer, but you ain't felt the undertow's pull, Listen close now, the echoes of yesterday still breakin' the rule. (Verse 5) Of silence I once kept, the pain I tried to conceal, They dissect my present moment, with wounds that refuse to heal In their narrow perception, their limited, judging sight, "Jo… hold up, slow down there… that ain't your path, not right…" (Verse 6) "That ain't your rhythm, your speed will surely lead to your fall," Trapped in their small boxes, never breakin' free from the wall. Like they holdin' a stopwatch, on the essence of who I am deep inside, But this pen unties the knots, no longer will the real me hide! (Verse 7) A furious torrent of truth, against the insidious creep of doubt, This ain't a polished performance, nothin' carefully laid out. Raw, unfiltered honesty, from the core of my very bein', Witness the transformation, the authentic self now seein'. (Bridge) The fragments of the old me, scattered like dust in the bitter breeze, Reflectin' a resilient spirit, puttin' my troubled mind at ease. Movin' at a velocity that shatters their stagnant, narrow view, Leavin' their outdated opinions in the dust, somethin' brand new! So let their condemnin' whispers chase the whirlwind in my wake, Their rigid definitions of "real" are boundaries I'm destined to break! (Chorus) Ight, ight, with the speed as fast as light, When I pick up this pen, better be ready, to see me ignite. I don't write 'cause it's just somethin' I like, I write 'cause this is my life. I don't go soft, I go hard, better be ready if you someone tryna stay buried, 'Cause my past is comin' unhurried, keep up, keep up, my past is 'bout to erupt! (Verse 8) My fire ain't dimmin', it's burnin' intensely bright, A truth that ignites the fadin' light of their prejudiced notions. That raw, unvarnished "fuck you" ain't malice, it's a liberatin' decree, Findin' inner peace, finally settin' me free! This ain't a gentle murmur, it's the full force of a hurricane firsthand! My foot's planted firm on the gas, ain't lookin' back anymore. The past is a blurry landscape, vanishin' from my hopeful view. Chartin' a brand new course, on solid, unshakeable ground. (Outro) Their judgmental reign is done. I'm buildin' unstoppable momentum, future's my gaze. The raw and honest truth takes flight! Yeah! This ain't no slow ride, this is the future comin' alive!
