The Calm
Verse 1
I been forged in the furnace where the hope ran dry,
Back against the wall, still I stare fate in the eye.
Heart like a riot, mind wired to survive,
Every scar on my skin is a chapter still alive.
I walk with the weight of the world in my spine,
Clock hands shaking every time I spit a line.
I’m a cracked bell ringing truths through the fog,
Every word I drop heavy like the footsteps of God.
They talk in circles, I move like a blade,
Cut through the dark where the cowards get played.
I’m like the match in the rain, still sparking the flame,
Turning pressure into diamonds, pain into gain.
Hook
I’m thunder in a cage, I’m a storm with a soul,
Still standing on the edge but I’m never gonna fold.
They see smoke in the sky when I breathe and I roam,
I don’t knock on doorsI kick evil off its throne.
Verse 2
I been drowning in a sea made of broken advice,
Every smile that I had came with a price,
every move was battle without regret.
I learned hunger talks louder than praise ever could,
And the wolves wear suits while the sheep think it’s good.
My shadow talks back, says “don’t blink, don’t stall,”
Every loss taught me how to outgrow every wall.
I’m a ghost in the mirror with a grin full of scars,
Building galaxies outta scraps and burnt stars.
I speak in earthquakes, my silence is loud,
I don’t beg for a crown, I bend kings in a crowd.
I’m the ink in the pen that rewrites my end,
Every time they try to bury me, I come back again.
Hook
I’m thunder in a cage, I’m a storm with a soul,
Still standing on the edge but I’m never gonna fold.
They see smoke in the sky when I breathe and I roam,
I don’t knock on doors I kick fate off its throne.
Outro
I ain’t chasing the light, I ignite when it’s gone,
I was built from the night, I was bred for the dawn.
If the world wanna test me, tell it I’m home
I was born in the fire… and I walk through it calm.
