Yeah, it’s D stud, paintin’ pain on this canvas,

Yeah, it’s D stud, paintin’ pain on this canvas, Home ain’t sweet, it’s a stage for the madness. Came up in the furnace, never asked for the heat, Backpack full of fears, walkin’ ghost in these streets. Mama whisperin’ prayers, knuckles white on the phone, Pops thunderin’ rage, breakin’ glass, breakin’ bone. I tiptoe through tornadoes, never know what I’ll find, Love’s a loaded gun, and I’m stuck in the line. (Chorus) Running through the dark, yeah, I’m dodging every shadow, Bruises over hearts, but I’m sharper than an arrow. Tears in my sneakers, blood on my sleeve, Life taught me loss before it taught me to breathe. (Verse 2) 18 with a target, bullets flying from the cradle, My own blood’s the villain in my childhood fable. Mama’s eyes screaming, “Baby, don’t you run!” But I been sprintin’ since the day my soul weighed a ton. They say pain make diamonds, well, I’m shining with scars, Turned my trauma to a tattoo, inked under these bars. Walls whisper secrets, silence louder than the screams, I’m the ghost in the hallway, the fracture in the dream. (Chorus) Running through the dark, yeah, I’m dodging every shadow, Bruises over hearts, but I’m sharper than an arrow. Tears in my sneakers, blood on my sleeve, Life taught me loss before it taught me to breathe. (Bridge) Yeah, D stud, I’m a flame in the blizzard, Words cold as December, but my soul never withered. Love’s just a weapon, in the wrong hands it’s lethal, But I’m writing my escape—every bar, every sequel. (Outro) Glass on the carpet, curses in the air, I built my empire from the dust of despair. Promise to my mama, “One day we’ll be free,” D stud, breakin’ chains with a rhyme and a beat.
