shifting the gear

(Verse 1) Yeah, every day I wake, it’s like a war zone, They throwin’ shade, I’m feelin’ all alone, Words cut deep, like a knife through the bone, In a crowd full of faces, I’m still unknown. (Verse 2) They laugh, they mock, like it’s all just a game, But inside I’m burnin’, trapped in this flame, Tryna rise above, but it’s hard to maintain, When the weight of their words is makin’ me strain. (Verse 3) I’m spittin’ truth, but they don’t wanna hear, Drownin’ in the silence, fightin’ back the fear, Every punchline they throw, it’s crystal clear, But I’m not backin’ down, I’m shiftin’ the gear. (Verse 4) I’ll take this pain, turn it into my drive, Fuel for the fire, it’s how I survive, Standin’ tall, even when I feel small, This is my story, I’m breakin’ the wall. or(Verse 1) Yo, I’m walkin’ down the hall, head down, feelin’ small, Whispers in my ear, man, they echo through the walls. Got these shadows lurkin’, yeah, they feast on my fears, Laughter like daggers, cuttin’ deep, bringin’ tears. Try to shake it off, but it sticks like a stain, Every word they spit, it’s like a bullet to my brain. Pushed around daily, like I’m lost in a maze, Trapped in this cycle, caught up in their gaze. (Verse 2) I’m the target of the jokes, yeah, the punchline’s me, But I’m risin’ from the ashes, like a phoenix, can’t you see? Every scar’s a story, every bruise a badge, Turnin’ pain into power, I’m done playin’ the sad. They can’t break my spirit, I’m built to withstand, Got a fire in my soul, watch me take a stand. Words are my weapon, I’m armed with the truth, Bully’s gon’ regret they ever messed with this youth. or
