Intro (fast, whispered)
Yeah—
Clock broke, soul reload.
2025 tried me…
2026 chose me.
Verse 1 (double-time)
2025 I was boxed in like a coffin with Wi-Fi,
Demons on redial, nightmares on FaceTime,
Mind was a warzone, thoughts had a bayonet,
Every regret hit my chest like a stray fragment.
I ran through fire in gasoline sneakers,
Heart full of static, soul speakin’ in keepers,
Trust was a loan with predatory interest,
Smiles were masks, all the love was a business.
I was a glass jaw swingin’ at hurricanes,
Tryna outpunch fate while it laughed in my face,
Every mistake was a weight on my ankle,
Every relapse another crack in the mantle.
But pressure made diamonds, I stayed in the press,
Built lungs out of smoke, learned to breathe through the stress,
I didn’t fold when the blueprint was bent,
I turned pain into ink, wrote my way through the mess.
Hook (rapid, chant-style)
2025 tried to eat me alive,
Teeth in my back, still I ran through the knives,
I bled on the clock till the numbers expired,
Now 2026 got me dressed in the fire.
New year, new spine, new nerve in my chest,
Old me in the grave, no service, no text,
I don’t heal slow, I evolve when I’m pressed—
Phoenix with a pulse, I rise out the mess.
Verse 2 (even faster)
I was jugglin’ demons like pins with no hands,
Every promise a bridge made of quicksand,
I slept with regret like a loaded revolver,
One bad thought away from a permanent alter.
Life was a courtroom, I fought my own case,
Judge was my past, jury trauma and hate,
Sentence was growth, no parole, no escape,
So I carved out a key from the bars I was caged in.
I shed skin like code in an app that crashed,
Deleted old habits, no backup, no cache,
Cut ties clean like surgical glass,
If you slow my momentum, you’re part of the past.
I don’t chase the crown, I weld it together,
Every loss was a storm, made my roots grip the weather,
I was forged in the glitch, now I move with precision,
2026: higher frame rate, new vision.
Hook (aggressive)
2025 tried to eat me alive,
Teeth in my back, still I ran through the knives,
I bled on the clock till the numbers expired,
Now 2026 got me dressed in the fire.
New year, new spine, new nerve in my chest,
Old me in the grave, no service, no text,
I don’t heal slow, I evolve when I’m pressed—
Phoenix with a pulse, I rise out the mess.
Bridge (half-time drop)
I didn’t fall back—
I fell forward.
Pain was the currency,
Growth was the order.
Verse 3 (rapid, victory lap)
Now I move like a missile with broken restraints,
No fear in my eyes, just target and faith,
I talk less, aim more, let the silence detonate,
If you knew me before, that file’s obsolete.
I ain’t run from the dark, I remodeled the space,
Put a throne in the void where the doubts used to stay,
Every demon I beat left a mark on my blade,
Now my shadow stand tall when I walk through the day.
2026 ain’t a year, it’s a switch in the brain,
From survival to savage, from weather to rain,
I don’t knock on doors, I rearrange frames,
If hell want me back, tell it stay in its lane.
Outro (fast, breathless)
2025 was the storm.
2026 is the structure.
I wasn’t rebuilt…
I was rewritten.
