Tension to Steel

Текст песни

[Intro] Four bars, four lines, let the pressure descend Old keys strike hard where the cold roads bend One breath, one count, let the whole room attend I turn that tension to steel at the end [Verse 1] Grey dawn, wet stone, I was out before light Kept my plans folded tight, out of sight Every closed door taught my hands how to write Now the whole block can tell when I’m right No borrowed crown, I was built from the grind Kept one eye on the move, one eye on the line When the low notes roll, all the pieces align I make a hard little world out of time [Hook] Four lines, one scheme, every word locked in Deep strings climb while the drums kick in From the back-row hush to the front-row din I came with a plan and I’m leaving with wins [Verse 2] You talk big, but the facts don’t bend I keep my circle small, trust the few I defend Each setback left a mark, each mark made a friend Now I set my own pace and I choose where it ends Black coat, cold air, still I carry my flame No shortcut, no mask, no borrowed name If they ask how I rose, tell them pressure made aim Turned a stack of hard days to a seat at the game [Bridge] Hold that breath, let the high strings rise One more step, see the doubt leave their eyes No easy road, no disguise Four lines land, then the whole thing flies [Hook] Four lines, one scheme, every word locked in Deep strings climb while the drums kick in From the back-row hush to the front-row din I came with a plan and I’m leaving with wins [Outro] Four bars, four lines, let the last note descend What I build stands firm when the hard days end Kept my word, kept my nerve, kept my people, my friends I turn that tension to steel at the end
