"Listen... do you hear it? That whisper in the silence, that light flickering behind your ribs? That ain't just you. That ain't just thoughts echoing off bone and breath. That's the spark. The divine ember. The voice of God, humming low inside your chest like a drumbeat from before time itself."
"See, the world don't change from the outside in. It don't shift 'cause we scream louder or tear down walls just to build new ones. The real war? It's fought in the soul. It's won when we stop looking for heaven in the sky and start building it in each other."
When I was a youngin', I was hunted like a beast,
Tried to leave the earth early, got snatched up by the priest-
Not the one in the collar, but the voice in my chest,
Told me, "Rise up, son, let 'em put you to the test."
Now my heart like a synagogue, carved in the stone,
Where the spirits speak in wave and the echoes atone.
A malfunction with a screw loose? Nah, I'm a fuse lit,
Could've been a cog, but I flipped the whole blueprint.
Raised with the wolves, shoulda been a dog,
Got chained to the struggle, learned to fight through the fog.
Don't know if it's a sin or not, but the scars on my frame,
Made a martyr out the pain, now the spark is untamed.
I was born in the gutter, but I walk like a king,
Every ounce of disrespect, that's a jewel in my ring.
Turned the venom to elixirs, turn the sorrow into gold,
Every wound is a scripture that the prophets foretold.
I ain't runnin' from the smoke, I was birthed in the ash,
If they sendin' shots at me, better hope that they splash.
Cuz I rise like the moon when the blood start to drip,
I'm the shadow in the temple where the candlelight flicks.
Ain't no fear in my bones, every ghost got a name,
Had to learn from the demons 'fore I broke from the chains.
Now I step like a titan, every foot crack the crust,
Cuz the weight that I carry woulda turned men to dust.
I got synergy that center me, the enemy irrelevant,
Turned my doubts to weaponry, my mind is full of sediment.
Came from the dirt, now I blossom like the lotus,
Meditatin' in the chaos while the doubters lost focus.
Got a dagger in my grip from the times I was stabbed,
Now I write 'em in the cipher, every word is a jab.
Tried to put me in the past, but my story ain't finite
Now my name buzzin' louder than the streetlights at midnight.
I ain't ever need a co-sign, never need a handout,
Made it from the hellfire, walked it with my chest out.
Most have got the vision, but I'm takin' it further,
Every syllable I spit is like a blade in the burner.
I'm a scholar and a savage, an enigma in the flesh,
Took the poison from my past, turned it into every breath.
Now I'm walkin' with the angels but the devil on my heel,
Told him, "You ain't got a hold, I done mastered every feel."
Yeah, the boy got a legacy, inked in the skin,
If they ever count me out, I'ma do it all again.
I was made from the struggle, I was built from the wreck,
And the ones who threw stones, I done turned 'em to steps.
