(Intro — calm, low, steady) They think the story ends when you leave the streets. Nah. That’s when the real work starts. (Hook) Clean hands, dirty past, I don’t run from it, I just don’t let it steer when I’m done with it. Built slow, mind sharp, every move planned, Power feel different when you understand. No sirens sing me to sleep no more, I wake up early, put my feet on the floor. I ain’t innocent — I’m accountable, That’s what makes this life unbreakable. (Verse 1) Still got scars, I don’t hide ‘em, They reminders, not assignments. I don’t flex pain for attention, I turn lessons into alignment. Used to move off impulse and fear, Now I sit with discomfort till the path clear. Discipline louder than hunger ever was, I don’t chase shortcuts — I trust the process now, blood. Money clean hit different in the hand, Sleep deeper when you living off a plan. I don’t need eyes on me, I don’t need fame, I need consistency, peace, and a name I can stand on. Circle got smaller, vision got wide, I cut noise like dead weight off my life. Still alert, still sharp, just not possessed, I’m the driver now — not the mess. (Hook) Clean hands, dirty past, I don’t run from it, I just don’t let it steer when I’m done with it. Built slow, mind sharp, every move planned, Power feel different when you understand. No sirens sing me to sleep no more, I wake up early, put my feet on the floor. I ain’t innocent — I’m accountable, That’s what makes this life unbreakable. (Verse 2) I don’t judge those still stuck in the fog, I was right there — same hunger, same odds. But don’t confuse loyalty with chains, Some bridges only burn when you change. I invest in my health, my breath, my time, Stack habits now — that’s a different grind. Mind sharp like it used to be paranoid, Now it builds instead of destroys. I learned power ain’t takin’ from men, It’s wakin’ up daily and facin’ yourself again. No masks, no aliases, no lies I rehearse, Just truth, patience, and doin’ the work. If the past knock, I don’t answer with rage, I nod like “I see you” — then turn the page. (Bridge — stripped, reflective) Growth don’t clap. It don’t trend. It’s quiet mornings and promises kept. That’s the flex. (Hook — final) Clean hands, dirty past, I don’t run from it, I just don’t let it steer when I’m done with it. Built slow, mind sharp, every move planned, Power feel different when you understand. No sirens sing me to sleep no more, I wake up early, put my feet on the floor. I ain’t innocent — I’m accountable, That’s what makes this life unbreakable. (Outro — spoken, steady) Part One was survival. Part Two was awareness. Part Three is responsibility. That’s the real elevation.
