13 - They’ll Remember My Name
Yo, they witnessed the ascent, but missed the decline, Like I held the world, never crossed the line. The ones who knew me, observed from a distance, blind, Never saw the wounds or the burdens I confined. Resilient now, my artistry refined, But the stumbles they see obscure the evolution of my mind. Adversaries lurking, predators in wait, Praying my brilliance would dissipate. They don't grasp the strain, the venom, the scorn, The snares they laid when I stepped to perform. I gave them my all, stood firm in the gale, But they'd rather see me shattered than witness my power prevail. Stronger tomorrow, they’ll remember my name. They’ll remember my name. They strive to crush me, yet I persist, The weight of existence won't entomb me in this abyss. Through the inferno, I'll hold my stance, The harder I crash, the stronger I advance. [Chorus] They're oblivious to my anguish; they're blind to my strife, Judging my present, ignorant of my light. I'm battered but not broken; I'll emerge from the blaze, Invigorated tomorrow, they'll echo my name, "Remember My Name." Back in the days, I was the radiant youth, Every stride I made, they'd halt, awestruck, in truth. From the depths of my hustle to the zenith of my grind, They applauded my climb, but with time, left it behind. I gifted them moments from which legends arise, But now they perceive only shadows as the remembrance dies. Now they utter my name with a venomous twist, Like the labor I invested was a mere trick, not truly kissed By dedication. They never witnessed the sweat on the nights I burned, Or the yearning that drove me to defy the fate I'd earned. They once idolized me, believed I held the key, But now they lament, muttering, "He was not meant to be." Those who revered me have now turned aside, But I'll ascend from the embers, WITH AMPLIFIED PRIDE. They perceive me as fractured, but they fail to discern, This is the bedrock where resilience will churn. Pressure may shatter, but it also forges, A diamond conceived through the harshest scourges. Foes observe, anticipating my fall, But I strengthen my grasp, never losing my call. This is my narrative, my saga to unfold, And I'll transform every defeat into a story bold. To those who deceived, this verse is your due, To those who celebrated my downfall, believing it true. You shoved and you tugged, but I refused to release, Now I'm cultivating a strength that you'll all have to appease. I don't require your validation, your applause, or your acclaim, I'm driven by triumph, mastering this game. The battles I wage are etched upon my skin, But every scar validates that I'm destined to win. I'm not surrendering, I'm not retreating, I'll ascend from the ashes, my dominion completing. What I endure now? It's fuel for my flame, The day I erupt, I'll be soaring, untamed. When I unveil my heart, speak from my core, They say, "You allowed this; you relinquished control." Does this truly aid me? Is this equitable, in your soul? Did I truly surrender, or is this despair taking its toll? Don't make me rue this honesty I've bestowed, When the pain I've shared is the force that has towed Me through these trials. Stronger tomorrow, they’ll remember my name. They’ll remember my name.
