[Intro: Dark Piano, Minimal, Close Whisper] (yeah) [Chorus: Anthemic, Sung, Full Harmony, Heavy 808s In] Don't come at me with the words, Come at me with the walk, I don't care for flex, I don't care for talk, Give it to me straight, Give it to me real, It is not my anger, But my absence that you feel. [Verse 1: Introspective Rap, Raw and Close] In the moment I don't know why I write this, Seems like every moment I fight this, I feel like every stone that I throw might miss, Not every verse feels very tight, like this, Shit. But when you are flowin', It's not necessary, To know where you're goin', It's about the emotion, And the feelings you showin', In their brains you hear them growin', On their face you see the pain slowin', Sometimes they don't have the energy, You're towin', Sometimes they come in pieces, You're sowin', Their whole lives coming apart like Boeing, Even while they put their back into it, They rowin', But they can all feel it, She's going. [Chorus: Anthemic, Sung, Bigger Drums] Don't come at me with the words, Come at me with the walk, I don't care for flex, I don't care for talk, Give it to me straight, Give it to me real, It is not my anger, But my absence that you feel. [Verse 2: Aggressive Rap, Building Energy, Double-time Flow] But then someone steps on your little bits a little bit, You hit eleven and the spittle hits, you realize you are coming on a little big, Pull back on the committal but, you ran out of luck, And now that is a punch to the gut and nut as you feel that door shut, Walk home but not too fast, put, put, put, [Breakdown: Late Night, Stripped Piano, Vulnerable and Confessional, Beat Drops Out] Up late just me and my cat trying to write these lyrics, Hoping someone one day hears it but knowing if they do I fear it, That's the deal, Shit, Have the times when I think I am knowin' it, The evidence stacks up that I am blowin' it, All of this pain inside it bubbles out I am showin' it, And all my problems slink and hide like I am growin' it, But one day I know I, Will be free, One day I know I, Will be me, And on that day I know I, Will be too damn big to not be seen, You know things happen and they stunnin' them, Good things bad things they keep comin' then, You wish you had information you only seein' then, Damn, All those things you wish you could be, somebody else is bein' them, All of these things I thought would help me rise, Are just newborn things that help me find my own demise, Every day the sun and I rise, but rain or shine it's always a surprise, I keep tellin' myself things, I keep tellin' myself lies, And everybody can see within, they can see it in my eyes. [Verse 3: Realization, Rising Energy, Drums Back In] And everybody you knew from their life you got cut, cut, cut, So what? There comes a time in every man's life when the lesson lands, He starts to understand and admits he needs a hand, You can't hear the choir, you hear the whole damn band, Look at yourself and start to demand, Change your image, change your brand, Now all of a sudden life's lessons you command, All of your mental battlements manned. [Bridge: Confident, Punchy, Half-Sung] I'm the one who makes it happen, Like Red Bull drinks Max Verstappen, Look at your toes, I got them tappin', Listen to my beat, that shit's slappin'. [Chorus: Final Chorus - Full Drop, Layered Vocals, Held Last Line] Don't come at me with the words, Come at me with the walk, I don't care for flex, I don't care for talk, Give it to me straight, Give it to me real, It is not my anger, But my absence that you feel. [Outro: Piano Only, Whispered] (my absence that you feel)
