[Chorus] Every time that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone It went by like dust to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got their dues in life to pay [Verse 1] These thoughts are alarms to the homes that deny it Where the worst fear’s a kid who won’t stay quiet Every word that they throw never lands right In a place where the rules say emotions stay silent He walks the halls with the volume high Lost in a world where the pain won’t lie He’s labeled broken, but nobody sees All the weight that he carries from memories ’Cause his father disappeared, left him questioning Every mirror feels like an enemy If he ever crossed paths, it’d get violent fast So he buries it deep, lets the anger pass Mind’s unstable, he’s biting back Pulled between the riffs and the rhythm tracks Bruised by hands that were meant to guide So he swung back once just to feel alive Now the walls don’t stand, it’s a fractured zone No direction left, just emotions blown [Chorus] Sing with me, sing for the pain Sing for the nights that still remain Sing it loud, even just today Maybe tomorrow it all slips away [Verse 2] Culture’s shifting, the lines are bending Truth and fiction keep intertwining Every voice from the streets gets amplified While the anger and hunger get monetized Heroes fall but the words stay holy Crowds feel close yet the road feels lonely Funny how a sentence can heal a scar Or ignite a spark that goes too far Kids hang on to every phrase we say Build their lives off the tracks we play From empty rooms and broken beats To stages under restless screams Now the suits wanna rewrite truth Turn every flaw into headline proof Push you till you crack, then call it news Pray you lose control so they can use Say I’m danger just to make it stick While their own kids know every lyric If the sound is guilty, then explain How I stand here raising a name [Chorus] Sing with me, sing for the pain Sing for the nights that still remain Sing it loud, even just today Maybe tomorrow it all slips away [Verse 3] They say music shapes how we feel inside But it don’t pull the trigger, it just lets us cry If expression’s the crime, then blame the truth For every mirror it shows to you We speak what we live, then take the blame While the scars stay real, not the fame From nothing to something, it’s still surreal But the hunger never lets you heal So we rap for the ones with empty rooms With broken dreams and borrowed tunes They pin our words up on their walls Know every verse, feel every fall For anyone drowning in their head Lying awake wishing they were dead Till a song comes on and they breathe again That’s the moment the music wins So we grip these seconds, hold them tight ’Cause they shine the darkest nights And maybe when we’re gone someday These echoes are what remain [Chorus] Sing with me, sing for the pain Sing for the nights that still remain Sing it loud, even just today Maybe tomorrow it all slips away [Outro] Sing with me, sing for the pain Sing for the nights that still remain Sing it loud, even just today Maybe tomorrow it all slips away
