| Groove Metal, Brutal Metal, Aggressive Nu Metal, Salsa Fusion | Key: E minor

[Mood: Raw, Defiant, Groove]
[Energy: Building]

[Verse 1 | raspy lead vocal | overdriven guitar | bass driving eighth notes | Energy: Raw]
Cold stares and clenched fists
That's all the world got to see
Battle scars from shattered homes
The kid who learned to bleed
They called me trouble, called me threat
Never saw what made this stone
Every blow from back-hand rage
Taught me how to stand alone

And I buried what they couldn't break
Buried it so deep I lost the name

[Pre-Chorus | build-up | bass shifts to sincopated groove | Latin rhythm creeps under metal]
I know I'm hard to handle
Quick to rage, slow to trust
This armor wasn't built for comfort
[Defiant]
It was FORGED out of dust

But something underneath remembers
A rhythm I was taught to forget

[Chorus | anthemic | full band | heavy riff | clave rhythm layered under drums | Energy: High]
[Stacked harmonies]
I'm a storm that doesn't break
For anyone but you~
These walls weren't meant to fall
But you walked straight through
Yeah, I'm damaged, I'm broken
I'm everything they say
But the rhythm in my blood refuses
To be caged another day~

Pero el tumbao no se olvida
Vive en la sangre, en el caminar
Lo que el mundo me quiso robar
Sigue latiendo — no puede parar

(no puede parar)
(sigue latiendo)

[Verse 2 | raspy lead vocal | overdriven guitar | bass maintains Latin groove underneath | Energy: Intense]
Took the blows meant for my brother
Let them paint my face instead
Used by smiling hands that vanished
When there was no more blood to shed
Now I watch the shadows circle
Guard what's mine with teeth and spine
[Angry tone]
Call me jealous, call me danger —
I've walked both sides of every line

[Pre-Chorus | build-up | rising tension | Latin bass groove intensifies | cymbal crescendo]
I know I'm hard to handle
Quick to rage, slow to trust
This armor wasn't built for comfort
[Defiant]
It was FORGED out of dust

But something underneath remembers
A rhythm I was taught to forget

[Bridge | half-time metal breakdown | minimal instrumentation]
[Spoken word]
"They told me to be hard. To cut the music out. To speak only in the language of fists."

[Vulnerable]
Tu eres la única que oyó
Lo que yo no sabía que gritaba
El ritmo que escondí tan hondo
Fue lo primero que encontraste

[Build | guitars return heavy | congas intensify | full band builds]
I'll fight the WHOLE damn world for you
Teeth bared, nowhere to run
'Cause you're the only one who heard
The music underneath the gun

[Drum fill | congas hit hard | band drops to silence — one beat]

[Final Chorus | anthemic | full band | metal and salsa simultaneous | Energy: Maximum | explosive]
[Stacked harmonies]
I'm a storm that doesn't break
For anyone but you~
These walls weren't meant to fall
But you walked straight through
Yeah, I'm damaged, I'm broken
I'm everything they say
But the rhythm in my blood refuses
To be caged another day~

(caparazón)
(ya no más)
(el ritmo vive)
(no puede parar)

[Outro: Fade out | tumbao groove returns | guitars fade | only congas and bass remain]
[Vulnerable]
Enterré mi nombre...............
(pero el ritmo)
Pero el ritmo sobrevivió~

[End]
