[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
Стиль музыки
rap, Tight boom-bap drums over warm sampled keys and a hypnotic bass loop. Verses ride a head-nod pocket with punchy male vocals, subtle vinyl crackle, and chopped vocal stabs. Hook swells with layered ad-libs, wider stereo keys, and a heavier knock on the kick to lift the energy each time.
