(INTRO spoken, cinematic) (over strings & cinematic sounds, beat slowly rising) "They say pressure make diamonds... But in the bottom? Pressure just break most men." "See SINO? He ain’t break. He bled. He prayed. Then he came back harder." "This the moment they never wanted to see... The comeback they prayed wouldn’t happen. And now... there’s no stoppin’ him." "This is SINO. And this one’s called — Complicated." (CHORUS) It's complicated — I seen love turn into envy fast I gave my heart, they gave it back with a shattered glass I seen my dawg turn to a snake, I ain't even spaz I just bossed up quiet, now they mad I’m in a different bag Yeah, it’s complicated, pain I never demonstrated Had to thug it out alone, they wasn’t built for what I’m facin’ Now it’s Rollies over roaches, silence for the ones who hated Said I wouldn’t make it — look at God, that’s elevation Sino... yeah, I’m back. And I’m dangerous. ( VERSE 1) Used to dream about a Rollie in my shoebox full of ones Now I’m runnin' through these bands like it’s therapy, not fun Mama cried too many nights, I had to make the devil run They was smilin’ in my face, but in they hearts, I was done I remember I was starvin’, they ain't even toss a plate Now I’m eatin' with my circle — everybody get a steak I don’t talk about the pain, I just put it in the safe Turned my losses into wins, had to learn from every fake Yeah, I got scars, but I wear 'em like gold chains Made it out the fire, now they gotta spell my whole name: S-I-N-O. (VERSE 2) Ain’t no love in these streets, just survival mode I was ten toes down when they broke the code Had to ride for my name, couldn’t let it fold Now the same ones hatin’ tryna play it cold They ain't see the nights I cried in that Honda Civic Now I’m lane switchin’ foreigns — it feel different Still humble, but I’m lit now, I don’t miss now They was jokin’ — I ain’t laugh, look who rich now I ain’t bitter, I’m just better with a clear view If it ain't loyalty, then I don’t wanna near you They tried to bury me — didn’t know I was a seed, though Came back bloomin’ — yeah, that’s SINO. BRIDGE (melodic, emotional) You don’t know the nights I prayed with nothin’ left I was talkin' to the stars, tryna catch my breath I was drownin’ in my thoughts, but I ain’t sink yet Now I’m walkin' on that water like I knew I’m blessed (vocal layer/melody) They don’t know... what it cost me Now the chains don’t weigh like the pain that I carried softly Yeah... it’s complicated. But I kept goin’. (CHORUS - repeat, full force) It's complicated — I seen love turn into envy fast I gave my heart, they gave it back with a shattered glass I seen my dawg turn to a snake, I ain't even spaz I just bossed up quiet, now they mad I’m in a different bag Yeah, it’s complicated, pain I never demonstrated Had to thug it out alone, they wasn’t built for what I’m facin’ Now it’s Rollies over roaches, silence for the ones who hated Said I wouldn’t make it — look at God, that’s elevation Sino... yeah, I’m back. And I’m dangerous. (Outro: Beat fades, maybe acapella line) “It’s complicated... but I was built for it.” NTLB Exclusive
