Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been walkin’ through the noise, but the echoes don’t fade (Woo!)
Everybody talkin’ loud, but they words feel staged (Damn!)
I see smiles with no soul, empty eyes full of rage (Huh?)
Tryna climb out the dark, but they built their own cage (Sheesh!)

I done seen the strongest fold for a little bit of fame (What?)
I done seen the loudest ones disappear when it rain (Woo!)
They be buyin’ new masks, switchin’ faces like a game (Damn!)
But I read between the lines, I can see through the stains (Sheesh!)

I ain’t fallin’ for the script, I ain’t built for the role (Huh?)
I don’t worship no illusion, I ain’t sellin’ my soul (Woo!)
Told ‘em truth cut deep, but it keep me whole (Damn!)
I don’t flinch at the dark, I just let it unfold (Sheesh!)
[Chorus]
I been searchin’ for the real, but it’s hard to see (Woo!)
Everybody numbin’ pain, they don’t wanna feel (Damn!)
I don’t bend, I don’t fold, I don’t sign no deal (Huh?)
Took my scars, turned ‘em gold, now my soul stay steel (Sheesh!)

Yeah, they lost in the smoke, I just learn to breathe (Woo!)
Everybody want a fix, they don’t wanna heal (Damn!)
I don’t need no disguise, I don’t need to kneel (Huh?)
Told ‘em real don’t die, I don’t break, don’t kneel (Sheesh!)

[Verse 2]
I done seen the realest ones take a fall for a check (What?)
I done seen the truest hearts turn cold in they chest (Woo!)
They was laughin’ at the struggle, now they drown in regret (Damn!)
I just kept movin’ forward, every wound made a step (Sheesh!)

I seen wolves turn to sheep when the fire got close (What?)
They was barkin’ real loud, now they ghosts in the smoke (Woo!)
I don’t flinch at the dark, I done walked that road (Damn!)
Had to carve out my name where the real ones don’t fold (Sheesh!)

Yeah, I move how I move, I don’t chase, I don’t beg (What?)
Took the pain, made a mil, so I can sleep in my bed (Woo!)
I been cut from a cloth that they never could thread (Damn!)
Let ‘em talk from the side, I just stay two steps ahead (Sheesh

⸻

[Chorus]
I been searchin’ for the real, but it’s hard to see (Woo!)
Everybody numbin’ pain, they don’t wanna feel (Damn!)
I don’t bend, I don’t fold, I don’t sign no deal (Huh?)
Took my scars, turned ‘em gold, now I stay hard as steel (Sheesh!)

Yeah, they lost in the smoke, I just learn to breathe (Woo!)
Everybody want a fix, they don’t wanna heal (Damn!)
I don’t need no disguise, I don’t need to kneel (Huh?)
Told ‘em real don’t die, I don’t break, don’t kneel (Sheesh!)

⸻

[Outro]
Yeah, the world full of wolves, I just walk through the pack (Woo!)
Told ‘em I don’t need a mask, I ain’t hidin’ from that (Damn!)
I don’t move for the fake, I don’t bow, don’t crack (Huh?)
I been real since birth, now the world lookin’ back (Sheesh!)
