Built from the pressure, the weight and the warfare, Most of these fellas get folded, I don’t care, Walk in the room and the mood get distorted, The energy shift when a force is imported. Focused and dangerous, cold and calculated, Never been one for the overly famous, Rather be solid than heavily praised, ‘Cause hype got an expiry date when it’s wasted. Studied the failures, dissected the flaws, Learned how to crawl, then developed the claws, Most of the people who talk about war, Get nervous the second they step to the cause. Mind like a maze with a map in the center, Built every brick of my character better, Some want attention, I wanted momentum, Now every move got intent in the engine. Sharp with the language, precise with the timing, Lines intertwining with layered designing, Half of these rappers got bars but no mileage, They rented the image, I lived in the mileage. Stayed in the dark while refining the craft, Nobody clapped, nobody would ask, Now when they see me they’re puzzled and shocked, Like where did he come from and how did this happen? Years of persistence and stubborn ambition, Faith in the vision despite opposition, Most would’ve quit when confronted with friction, I used it as fuel for a stronger position. They want the reward but avoid all the risk, Want all the respect but won’t build what it is, That’s why I laugh when they talk like they’re kings, A crown don’t mean much if the kingdom don’t exist. Calm when I’m speaking, intense when I move, Nothing to prove, but a lot to improve, Still got the hunger, still got the pursuit, Still chasing perfection though knowing the truth. The truth is you’ll never completely arrive, The goalpost moves every time that you climb, So I stay advancing, adapting my stride, Treat every peak like the start of the hike. Pressure creates what comfort destroys, Discipline speaks when the noise gets annoying, Built from the struggle, the sweat and the scars, Now every adversity sharpened the sword.
