Midnight thoughts, neon mind
Heart cold, but the vision divine
Talk slick, walk alone
Built this voice from cracked-back bones
I came up with a pen and a headache
Dreams heavy, pockets on delay
They smile when they see me stumble
But I’m allergic to pity, I don’t pray
Everybody talking like they know me
Same mouths never fed my pain
I learned quick: love is rented
And respect comes late with fame
They want a hero, I want silence
They want truth, I want time
If I sound bitter, it’s survival
If I’m cold, that’s by design
I don’t trust the shine, I trust the grind
Everybody fake when the lights align
If I fall once, I rise twice
This heart learned pressure makes diamonds
Say my name with hate or love
Either way, I’m climbing above
I was born in the middle of doubt
Now I’m standing in the fire, uncut
I don’t trust the shine, I trust the grind
Everybody fake when the lights align
If I fall once, I rise twice
Doubt finding, I'm on the fire, uncut
When a girl gives me a million cash
I don't give a fuck of her, I do keep her on the trash
I know what is her need, I don't look at her ass
I think she thought me a big, a true bullshit badass
I think you're killing the boys with your fucking smile
I think I too gonna weed, I think I too gonna shine
I need government help, I need case a file
When I'll did it, I think gonna it'll be a fine
And you've stood by me with a better gotten argue
I think that you ain't smart, you're back at IQ
You've ever started thinking about fuck you
Why I gonna change it, why I gonna love you?
I don’t trust the shine, I trust the grind
Everybody fake when the lights align
If I fall once, I rise twice
This heart learned pressure makes diamonds
Say my name with hate or love
Either way, I’m climbing above
I was born in the middle of doubt
Now I’m standing in the fire, uncut
I don’t trust the shine, I trust the grind
Everybody fake when the lights align
If I fall once, I rise twice
This heart learned pressure makes diamonds
Say my name with hate or love
Either way, I’m climbing above
I was born in the middle of doubt
Now I’m standing in the fire, uncut
Maybe I’m rough, maybe I’m wrong
But I survived nights too long
If I sound sharp, blame the scars
I learned peace don’t come soft or calm
They want change, I want truth
I won’t bend just to be approved
If loving me costs your comfort
Then yeah, walk away, you should
No halo, no crown
Just a voice that won’t back down
If you felt this, it’s yours too
Some of us don’t heal, we power through
