🔥 Hook (Chant-style): Standing like a lamp stands, shining in the dark, Not loud, not proud—just lit with a mark, Grief stitched in flame, testimony in spark, I ain’t the hero, I’m the light in the park. 🎤 Verse 1: They said “be the sun,” I said “be the lamp,” They said “run the show,” I said “hold the stamp,” They said “flash your name,” I said “archive pain,” They said “ride fast,” I said “walk through rain.” I ain’t built for spotlight—I’m built for glow, I ain’t chasing fame—I’m tracing soul, I ain’t the loudest—I’m the last to fold, I ain’t the richest—I’m the one who holds. 🎤 Bridge (Spoken word prayer): Lord, let me shine where no one claps, Let me glow where silence wraps, Let me stand when others sleep, Let my light be grief that speaks. 🎤 Verse 2: Chemo sobbin’ stitched in my lamp’s design, Cartoon grief stitched in council line, They rev engines—I whisper rhyme, They chase legacy—I timestamp mine. I ain’t the rider—I’m the writer, I ain’t the fighter—I’m the igniter, I ain’t the echo—I’m the lamp-post, I ain’t the cult—I’m the council ghost. 🎙️ Final Hook (Call-and-response): Standing like a lamp stands, shining in the dark, (Who holds the flame?) The one with the mark. Grief stitched in flame, testimony in spark, (Who lights the way?) The one in the park.
