Lyrics

(uuuhhhhhhh)

Clock in, head low, night’s cold, heart numb,
Liftin' weight on my back like I ain’t got lungs.
Machine’s loud, but my thoughts still louder,
Smilin' at work while I drown in the shower.
They don’t see that I break when I'm home,
Give my all to a world that just leaves me alone.
Mom askin' if I’m fine, I say “yeah,” then lie,
But I feel like I’m fallin' just to learn how to fly.

Boss like a father, but the rumors sting,
Sayin' I love him – what the hell does that bring?
People talk, but they don’t see the fight,
Tryna hold it together every goddamn night.
No food, just stress, blacked out on the floor,
Saw the lights dim, now I fear 'em more.
Told the truth to his face, eyes full of doubt,
Said he cares – but one more slip, and I’m out.

He's on my mind when the silence hits,
Five years, no touch, but the bond still fits.
He’s the calm when the world gets loud,
Feelin’ safe in his words like I’m lost in a crowd.
And my fam tryna live, so I give what I make,
Splittin’ my soul for the bills they can’t take.
Wanna run, but my shoes full of lead,
So I write these lines just to bleed instead.

I’m tired of the mask, tired of the grind,
Tired of pretendin’ I’m fine all the time.
Wanna scream, but my voice got chains,
Wanna cry, but my pride remains.
If I fall, will they catch me still?
If I break, will the world just chill?
I’m more than a shift and a check in hand –
I’m a kid with a dream and a soul that stands.

So I rap what I feel 'cause I got no choice,
Every scar in my chest, every crack in my voice.
And maybe one day, when the night feels right,
I'll find peace in the dark and turn pain into light.
