[Intro – spoken, filtered voice] Yeah… Even when the city forgets your name… there’s a mark that never fades… ⸻ [Verse 1 – rap] I walked through ash in the valley where the hope get thin Concrete prayers, every scar’s where the light been in Palm full of pain but I still see signs Like somethin’ higher wrote my name between the lines They said I’m lost, just another face in the system But I felt a hand in the dark when I listened Every tear hit the ground like it had a purpose Like I was never alone even when life felt worthless ⸻ [Hook – sung, emotional] Engraved in the hands that made the sky Even when I fall, I don’t die inside I’m remembered when the world goes blind I’m held in the palms of the Most High ⸻ [Verse 2 – rap] Westside wind blow pain through the boulevard Homies turn ghost but I still see the stars In the smoke I hear something say “hold on” Like love don’t fade when the soul stay strong Every block got a story that the streets won’t tell But I felt grace in the depths of my hell If I disappear, I know I ain’t erased ‘Cause I’m carved in something time can’t replace ⸻ [Hook – sung, bigger] Engraved in the hands that made the sky Even when I fall, I don’t die inside Through the fire, through the long nights’ cry I’m remembered, I’m never denied ⸻ [Bridge – atmospheric / half-rap half-chant] Not forgotten… not abandoned… Even silence got a language when the soul understand it Every wound got a witness, every loss got a line And my name still exists in a place outside time ⸻ [Outro – soft spoken / fade] So if the world ever lets you feel unseen… remember… you were written closer than skin…
