Lyrics

(Intro – Soft piano, slow beat kicks in)
Yeah…
Twenty years, blood and sweat, but where am I now?
In my own business, but treated like a ghost somehow.
Brother, look me in the eyes, tell me the truth,
But nah, you tell stories, erase my past like poof.

(Verse 1 – Deep flow, emotional tone)
I was there when it all began,
While you were away, I built this with my hands.
Kitchen burning, hands so tired,
Now you tell me, "Do it better"—man, you’re a liar.

I do it all—cook, clean, wash the floors,
But in your eyes, I’m nothing more.
Just another shadow, just another name,
Yet when you need me, suddenly, I’m part of the game?

(Hook – Melodic & powerful, female vocal sample in background)
They don’t see me, they don’t hear me,
But without me, they’d fall, that’s clear to see.
They won’t praise me, won’t believe me,
But when I’m gone, they’ll know who carried the team.

(Verse 2 – Stronger delivery, more power in voice)
It ain't just one, it's three against me,
Two brothers and a sister tryna kill my dream.
They team up, twist words, make me look small,
But I built this place—they just claim it all.

Giving credit to others, never to me,
While I break my back, they act so free.
Say I slow things down? Then run it without me,
Let’s see how long till you start to doubt me!

(Bridge – Soft, almost spoken, emotional build-up)
I know it burns that you can’t do what I do,
So you tell lies just to make it seem true.
But one day, when I’m gone for good,
You’ll realize what you had… but it'll be too late, dude.

(Hook – Repeat, stronger with extra backing vocals)
They don’t see me, they don’t hear me,
But without me, they’d fall, that’s clear to see.
They won’t praise me, won’t believe me,
But when I’m gone, they’ll know who carried the team.

(Outro – Beat fades, last words spoken softly)
Look at me now… I’m still standing.
No matter what they say… I know who I am.
