Break My Silence

[Verse 1]
Woke up with a weight on my name
Turn pain into paint, let it stain
Every doubt on the wall in my brain
Then I frame it, hang it, call it “gain”

City on my back like a backpack
Every little setback? Snack, I snap back
They said, “Stay in your lane, just blend”
I’m here to bend that lane ‘til it ends

[Chorus]
I had to break my silence
Turn all my scars to science
Ran through the smoke, defiant
Heart too loud to hide it (yeah)
I had to break my silence
Word by word I climb it
They can’t cage this mind, it’s
Too alive to quiet

[Verse 2]
Used to write in the dark by the fridge light
Cheap pen, big dreams, never did right
Till I slipped, hit ground, caught truth
Can’t grow if you guard your roots

So I speak like the rent past due
Like time got teeth, tryna chew through you
If fear is a door, I kick that hinge
Walk straight in, make doubt my friend

[Chorus]
I had to break my silence
Turn all my scars to science
Ran through the smoke, defiant
Heart too loud to hide it (oh)
I had to break my silence
Word by word I climb it
They can’t cage this mind, it’s
Too alive to quiet
