Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I’m swimmin’ upstream with a backpack of stones,
Past ghosts of my past, hear their laughter and groans.
They said I’d collapse, get trapped in the zone,
But I shattered their map, built paths of my own.

No handouts, I scrapped for the bone,
Clawed through the dirt, made a throne out of loans.
Now they wanna clone, say, “Teach me the tone,”
But this rage ain’t rehearsed, it’s a furnace I own.

Every syllable’s a blade, cut deep like a switch,
Spit raw, unfiltered, no bleach, just the grit.
I’m the glitch in the matrix, the crack in the stitch,
A phoenix from ashes, ignited to pitch.

[Chorus]
When the world turns dark, I’ll shine through the fight,
Against the tide, I rise, ignite the night.
They can chain my limbs, but they can’t cage my mind,
I’m runnin’ out of time, but I’ll outrun the grind.

[Verse 2]
They said I peaked—nah, I’m just touchin’ the sky,
Every rhyme’s a lifeline, each beat’s my reply.
I could drown in the critics, let the whispers decide,
But I’m deaf to the doubters; my truth won’t subside.

Used to scribble in notebooks, venom in ink,
Now I pen their demise with a nod and a wink.
They think I’ve gone soft, they blink and I shrink?
Nah, I’m sharper than razors, still live on the brink.

I’m the kid from the trailer park, raising the bar,
From the Marshall of shadows to the blazing star.
They wanna test me? Let ‘em step to the scars,
I’ve been fightin’ so long, even hell’s too far.

[Chorus]
When the world turns dark, I’ll shine through the fight,
Against the tide, I rise, ignite the night.
They can chain my limbs, but they can’t cage my mind,
I’m runnin’ out of time, but I’ll outrun the grind.

[Bridge]
Feel the venom in my veins, I’m a rebel in chains,
But the shackles are weak, I’ve been weatherin’ pain.
Hear the echo of my name, from the cellar it came,
Now I’m climbin’ to the heavens, set the heavens aflame.

[Outro]
So call me a martyr, or call me insane,
But this pen’s my revolver, and I’m takin’ my aim.
I’m the voice of the unheard, carved in the grain,
Eminem’s the storm, and I’m bringin’ the rain.

[Final Chorus]
When the world turns dark, I’ll shine through the fight,
Against the tide, I rise, ignite the night.
They can chain my limbs, but they can’t cage my mind,
I’m runnin’ out of time, but I’ll outrun the grind.
