Lyrics

[Intro – whispered voice, echo FX]
Yeah…
We came out the shadows…
Pain built the throne I sit on…
Let’s go…

⸻

[Verse 1]
I was raised in the mud where the sun don’t shine,
Dark in my heart but the soul gon’ climb.
Mama cried tears that could flood my block,
Now I carry pain in a chrome wristwatch.

Hood taught me silence, move like a ghost,
Talk less, stack more, pray I don’t boast.
Demons in my dreams tryna tug on my fate,
But I’m ridin’ with the fire, let ‘em open the gate.

Out the system, out the trap, now I trap with my mind,
Buildin’ bricks from my past, turnin’ dirt into shine.
Snakes in the grass? Got the blade for the mowin’,
I ain’t flexin’ for the ‘Gram, I’m just focused on growin’.

⸻

[Hook / Chorus – melodic but cold delivery]
Came out the shadows, pain in my eyes,
Lost too many brothers, saw too many lies.
But I’m still ridin’ — steel in my coat,
Faith in my chest, but the world want smoke.

Dark in my veins, light in my soul,
Built from the struggle, I’m takin’ control.
They said I’m nothin’, now look how I glow,
From out the shadows — I’m ready to blow.

⸻

[Verse 2]
Twelve tryna stop me, I don’t fold for no badge,
Never sold my truth, I just doubled my bag.
Pain in my lyrics, every bar got a scar,
Every L that I took just refueled my car.

I’m from a zone where the angels don’t fly,
Only wings we got got clips on the side.
Betrayal in the air, but my lungs too deep,
I don’t talk to the fake — I let real ones speak.

This for the ones locked down in the system,
This for the ones whose names we still missin’.
This for the kid with a dream in the gutter,
Who gon’ rise through the flames like fire through butter.

⸻

[Hook / Chorus – repeat]
Came out the shadows, pain in my eyes,
Lost too many brothers, saw too many lies.
But I’m still ridin’ — steel in my coat,
Faith in my chest, but the world want smoke.

Dark in my veins, light in my soul,
Built from the struggle, I’m takin’ control.
They said I’m nothin’, now look how I glow,
From out the shadows — I’m ready to blow.

⸻

[Outro – spoken with reverb]
We don’t break… we build.
From shadows to light.
From pain… to the crown.
Yeah.
