[Intro, spoken, dry] Mi hear yuh side. Now hear mi own. Di receipt nuh lie, but neither does di bruise. [Verse 1, Caesura + Dub Poetry — abrupt mid-line pauses, riddim lock] Yuh call it madness — mi call it mirror. Every bill yuh count — count di silence clearer. Mi nuh block yuh chat — mi block di noise. Three years a beg fi one man's voice. Yuh say brain damage — nah, mi wide awake. Di ham pon Instagram was mi first plate. Yuh watch mi laugh and call it a crime, But laughing free was mine, was mine. [Chorus, Internal Rhyme — melodic hook] Nuh brain damage, a clarity, Yuh call it madness, a mi sanity. Wine up slow 'cah mi finally free, Watch how di string dem cut easily. Traumatized? Nah, mi graduated, Every scar dem mi navigated. Cry and laugh a di same breath now, Lying under di sky, mi own vow. [Verse 2, Zeugma + Metaphysical Verse — one word, two edges] Yuh paid di flat but yuh never paid attention. Therapist call — 'cah yuh never mention How yuh voice could turn a room to winter. Ghost dem under mi bed? Nah, just splinters Of every promise yuh left pon di floor. Unhinged inna club — nah, mi found di door. Clean man, yuh say — clean like a wound left raw, Counting mi out while yuh counted flaw. [Chorus] Nuh brain damage, a clarity, Yuh call it madness, a mi sanity. Wine up slow 'cah mi finally free, Watch how di string dem cut easily. Traumatized? Nah, mi graduated, Every scar dem mi navigated. Cry and laugh a di same breath now, Lying under di sky, mi own vow. [Bridge, Epistrophe — echoing anchor] Yuh built a track pon mi silence. Yuh built a hook pon mi silence. But mi voice was never mi silence — Just di calm before mi science. [Outro, spoken, clash tag] Woman reply true. Gold, not blue. Mic drop. Done.
