[Intro — hard 808, sharp clap-snare, tight hats, dark synth drone] Last nerve Still standing Yeah [Quick Hook — spoken chant, hard and fast] Last nerve standing still won’t bend Put it all on me watch that chain snap clean Last nerve standing no more taking the blame Same ones lit the match wanna cry about flame Last nerve still standing Last nerve still standing [Verse 1 — fast rap, hard pocket] I was the name on the list when the plan fell sideways One more favor turned into a lifetime migraine Smiles got fake when the bills hit Friday Everybody brave till the truth hit my place I kept proof in the pauses, facts in the silence Watched small lies turn into family science They rewrite history with a calm little eyelid Then act shocked when the calm turns violent Not fists, not threats, just a line in the granite No more “my fault” for the wreckage they handed No more nodding while they crop out the damage No more making their panic my standard I was useful when the roof had a leak in it Useful when the car had a fee in it Useful when the shame had a seat in it Now I’m hard to reach and they see limits [Quick Hook — doubled punch-ins] Last nerve standing still won’t bend Put it all on me watch that chain snap clean Last nerve standing no more taking the blame Same ones lit the match wanna cry about flame Last nerve still standing Last nerve still standing [Verse 2 — denser, more aggressive] I know the type, play victim with a witness nearby Flip whole stories with a practiced little wet-eye Say “we’re worried” when they mean “comply” Then call you unstable when you ask them why Had me carrying weight that was never my portion Had me saying sorry for another man’s choices Had me lowering volume, swallowing poison Now every locked jaw turns into motion I don’t need closure from a source that leaks I don’t need peace from a hand that cheats I don’t need love that arrives with fees I don’t need help that makes me plead They wanted access, favors, labor Wanted my back, my time, my paper Wanted me numb when the cost got greater Now I charge respect with a late-fee waiver [Fast Middle Run — rapid but readable] I kept the names, kept dates, kept patterns Kept every switch when the story got scattered Kept every “calm down,” every “what’s the matter?” Every little cut from the social dagger Now I’m past polite, past managed, past edited Past being sorry for pain I inherited Past fake talks where the blame gets credited Past every version of me they benefited No grand speech, no soft announcement Just one hard boundary with a high stone countenance If they act lost, that’s a them-side problem I was clear for years, they just heard what profited [Break — drums cut, dry vocal] No more blame shift No more guilt trade No more fake concern With a bill unpaid No more soft exit No more staged regret Say what happened Say it correct [Verse 3 — final hardest verse] This ain’t revenge, this is math with a pulse This is cause, this is cost, this is fault, this is result This is every grown lie getting dragged from the vault This is me not flinching when they call it assault They made the mess, made me mop, made me thank them Made me doubt my own eyes when I named them Made a whole little world where I had to save them Now I step out clean and it breaks the arrangement I don’t owe calm to the ones who fed chaos I don’t owe grace where the debt never paid off I don’t owe answers to a rigged conversation I don’t owe warmth to a cold operation So tell them I’m different, good, write that down Tell them I changed when the smoke cleared out Tell them the last nerve never laid down Tell them the last nerve runs this now [Final Quick Hook — full drums, shortest repeat] Last nerve standing still won’t bend Put it all on me watch that chain snap clean Last nerve standing no more taking the blame Same ones lit the match wanna cry about flame Last nerve still standing Last nerve still standing [Outro — 808 and hats cut] Last nerve Still standing
