levels

Came from the mud where the light don’t visit, learned how to breathe in smoke They want a piece of the pie, I want the oven, the recipe, the whole damn stove I don’t flex for the net, I flex for the nights I was broke and silent Turned every doubt into fuel, now my calm feel violent They talk big but they small in practice, all cap, no gravity I move weight with my mindset, pressure turn coal to anatomy Diamond thoughts, sharp edges, cut through lies and illusions They copy the wave, I design the tide, then charge for the usage I been in rooms where the hope was thin and the air felt heavy Learned real quick can’t trust a smile when the hunger’s petty I keep my circle like prison yards, tight lines, no leakage Everybody want the crown, nobody want the bleeding Met my demons, shook they hand, told ‘em fall in line I don’t run from the dark no more, I just reorganize They chase moments, I build eras, different type of grind I don’t need you to see the vision, I need you out my sight They want shortcuts, I want control, ownership, leverage Every move got a reason, every silence a message I don’t argue with clowns, that’s free promo, I pass it If it don’t multiply me, then I cut it like habits I been broke with a plan, I been rich in mistakes Learned the difference between real love and convenient faith They confuse being loud with being solid and strong I let the work talk first, then I talk in results My name carry weight in rooms I don’t even enter Your buzz got an echo, mine got a life sentence Not to a cell, to a mission, to discipline daily I don’t pray for it to be easy, I pray to be dangerous To my limits, to doubt, to comfort, to sleep I don’t rest where I’m from, I just reload and repeat They want crowns with no cuts, I earned mine with reflection Every scar just a signature signed by progression I don’t need no cosign, I been signed to the grind They rentin’ they confidence, I been buyin’ my time Another level my baseline, yours still in the lobby I don’t chase what you praise, I outgrow what you copy I’m cold with it, calculated, heart still burning They play roles, I play chess, every loss still learning If you measure by likes, you gon’ die by attention I measure by freedom, by silence, by tension I’m built from the nights where the hope felt thin Where the mirror told truths I ain’t wanna let in Now I walk with a storm in the back of my tone Another level ain’t a place, it’s a way to be alone
