[Intro] Yeah… Still hear ’em… Every night… (808…) [Refrain] I got ghosts ridin’ with me every night, Can’t turn the dark into the light. Blood on my hands, but I followed the line, Now I’m just fightin’ with my own mind. Heartbeat sync with the kick and the bass, Pain got a home, I can see its face. Drill in my veins, let the demons speak, If I don’t rap, I don’t make it through the week. [Couplet 1] Boots full of dust, soul full of rain, Medals on my chest, trauma in my brain. Orders came down, I was part of the plan, Lost who I was just to stay a man. Silence louder than the rifles rang, Echoes never stop when the war bells sang. They call me hero, I don’t feel the crown, Every time I smile, something breaks back down. Mirror got a stranger wearing my skin, Every victory felt like another sin. Can’t wash memories under cold water, Every single face only haunts me harder. Punchline after punchline, bars like therapy, Every sixteen saving what’s left of me. 808 shaking like my heartbeat, Demons know the rhythm, now they march to me. [Pré-Refrain] Don’t pray for revenge… Pray I sleep. Don’t ask what I saw… Those scars run deep. [Refrain] I got ghosts ridin’ with me every night, Can’t turn the dark into the light. Blood on my hands, but I followed the line, Now I’m just fightin’ with my own mind. Heartbeat sync with the kick and the bass, Pain got a home, I can see its face. Drill in my veins, let the demons speak, If I don’t rap, I don’t make it through the week. [Couplet 2] Studio darker than the battlefield, Mic my doctor, every verse gets healed. 808 hit like a flashback wave, But this time music’s what I’m tryna save. I ain’t proud of the things that I seen, Nightmares sharper than a laser beam. People hear the flow, they don’t hear the screams, Every platinum dream got a broken seam. My pen don’t lie, it writes what survived, Every single bar proves I’m still alive. War took pieces that I’ll never find, Now I build new ones one rhyme at a time. If the beat stops, silence gets loud, That’s when the shadows gather in a crowd. So I keep snappin’, keep spillin’ my pain, Turn every thundercloud into a hurricane. [Outro] They told me, “Leave the war behind…” Nobody told me… The war learns how to follow.
