[Intro – distant, filtered vocal] Yeah… They said I wouldn’t make it past the doubt Look at me now [Verse 1] I was broke in a bedroom, broke in my mindset Dreams on a cracked phone, low battery mindset Everybody talk big when the lights on But they quiet when the night long I was 19, feelin’ like I missed it Comparin’ my life to a highlight snippet Scrollin’ through success like it’s owed to me But nobody built what I’m supposed to be Mama said patience, I ain’t listen I just wanted stages and a vision Wanted validation from the crowd noise Didn’t realize pain made the sound, boy Now I see it clear Every scar put me here Every doubt turned fuel Every loss made it real [Pre-Chorus – rising] They tried to tell me I would fold Tried to say I’d lose control But pressure makes the diamonds And I been under stone [Chorus – BIG, Anthemic] I don’t break, I don’t bend I just build it up again Every scar in my skin That’s my bloodline Every loss, every win Every doubt boxed me in Now I’m cut from within That’s my bloodline You can’t kill what survives I’ve been dead, I revived Every tear that I cried That’s my bloodline [Verse 2 – Rap Switch, Faster] Okay, wait Let me talk my talk I was down so bad I could barely walk Had doubt in my head like a daily thought Like “what if you’re not who they say you are?” I overthink, overwork, overcompensate Smile big but inside I’m overrun with hate Not for you — for me For the version I could never seem to be Yeah, I sabotage good when it comes too quick Push love away then I say it’s a glitch Build walls high like I’m guarding a throne Whole time scared I’ll be left alone That’s facts No cap I crack Then snap Then bounce right back ‘Cause I learned pain don’t last It just teaches you how to last longer [Pre-Chorus – rising] Tried to say I’d lose control But pressure makes the diamonds And I been under stone [Chorus – Bigger] I don’t break, I don’t bend I just build it up again Every scar in my skin That’s my bloodline Every loss, every win Every doubt boxed me in Now I’m cut from within That’s my bloodline You can’t kill what survives I’ve been dead, I revived Every tear that I cried That’s my bloodline [Bridge – Half-Time, Emotional Drop] If I fall, I fall forward If I bleed, I bleed purpose Every time they close a door I break walls that they boarded I’m not perfect I’m just working On the version That was hurting [Final Chorus – Full Cinematic Explosion] They tried to tell me I would fold Tried to say I’d lose control But pressure makes the diamonds And I been under stone You can’t kill what survives I’ve been dead, I revived Every tear that I cried That’s my bloodline Yeah... Thats my Bloodline
