Popeye

[Intro] Yeah, call me Popeye Running straight against the wind That’s my style Standing on the roughest waves Mic in my hand Still blowing up like dynamite [Verse 1] Back when I was young Watching heroes on the screen Forearms like steel cables Power bursting through the seams Like spinach to the system My bars hit with instant force Started with a smile Ended with a knockout course This ain’t bragging This is muscle in my mind Every scar and every setback Built the strength I had to find Looking in the mirror I see weakness in disguise So I break it into pieces Watch a stronger version rise They said I’d never make it Now those words became my fuel Never slowing down My pen stays breaking every rule [Pre-Hook] Nothing burns hotter Than the speed inside my flow Bulletproof verses Hit your chest and steal the show Once you get a taste You’ll be asking for another dose Got the whole crowd screaming My name inside the chorus [Hook] Popeye! Say my name My power lives inside the rhythm Of the beat and every flame Popeye! Move the crowd Even if the ocean swallows me I never drown Popeye! Plant the flag Singing victory songs While changing up the map Popeye! This is my stage Put your hands up high And now say my name [Verse 2] Harbor kid Only trusted in his fists Faced the world alone Still carrying every risk Nothing in my pocket Except a dream and stubborn hope Reality was warfare But I learned how to cope Never broke Built myself into a wall of steel Every wound became a lesson Every lesson made me real City full of traps And promises that disappeared I swallowed pain instead of spinach That’s the reason I’m still here Bitterness became my teacher Turned me into a warrior [Bridge 1] Everybody laughed At the little guy they saw Now my bars hit heavy Like a dumbbell to the jaw Every verse carries weight Every line leaves a mark Breaking through the speakers Spilling out into the dark [Hook] Popeye! Say my name My power lives inside the rhythm Of the beat and every flame Popeye! Move the crowd Even if the ocean swallows me I never drown Popeye! Plant the flag Singing victory songs While changing up the map Popeye! This is my stage Put your hands up high And now say my name [Verse 3] Even if the sky collapsed My shoulders hold the load Silent tears become lyrics Every pain becomes a road When despair digs its claws Deep inside my chest I pull new hope from every rhythm And I give the world my best The darker that it gets The brighter all the stars appear The more losses that I carry The stronger I become each year Truth keeps floating to the surface In a sea of counterfeit Mic check, hear me shout it I’m the proof of all of it [Bridge 2 – Fast Rap] Breath work ripping through the speakers Every syllable explosive Pain became my training ground Now my confidence is focused Fake crowns getting shattered No rest, no hesitation Destiny already signed And sealed my reservation Scars shining like diamonds Every mark became a star Popeye spirit never quits No matter where the battles are Still fighting on this stage Till the final curtain falls [Final Hook] Popeye! Say my name (Say it loud) Popeye! Set the crowd on fire (Burn it down) Popeye! Victory anthem (All around) Popeye! Right here, right now (Never bound) [Outro] Yeah Popeye Never folding Never breaking Endless voyage Winds keep raging Times may change But my punch still lives Remember my name Forever Popeye
