Pakgod

Lyrics

[Intro] Pakgod, stepping through the door Whole room pauses, then they ask for more [Verse 1] Black coat, rain drops, keys in my hand You said, “Stay small,” I had other plans Bus brakes hiss at the end of the block I read your old note, then I checked the clock No borrowed crown, no borrowed name I built my own lane out of sweat and aim You drew a line; I learned the route Now every locked door knows what I’m about [Chorus] Pakgod, say it plain, say it loud Pakgod, head up in the crowd From the back row straight to the front Pakgod, I don’t wait—I run [Verse 2] Cold tea, blue folder, rent due Friday You made a joke; I kept moving my way One clean chance and a hand-me-down pen I wrote the next chapter, then wrote it again You want the proof? Look close at the work Long days stacked while the doubters just smirk I don’t need a pass, I don’t need a nod I came here myself—now remember Pakgod [Bridge] When the room goes still, I can hear my own feet Every hard mile put a name on the beat You can keep your doubts, you can keep your rules I know what I carried to get through [Chorus] Pakgod, say it plain, say it loud Pakgod, head up in the crowd From the back row straight to the front Pakgod, I don’t wait—I run [Outro] Pakgod I don’t wait—I run Pakgod
