Run it back

"Run It Back" They told me hang it up, said the dream was too far gone I kept my head down working, writing verses till the dawn Broke pockets, full notebook, yeah I carried that on Cause vision in my mind clear even when the lights off Seen too many seasons pass with nothing in my hands Still I show up every morning with a pen and my plans Doubt get loud sometimes, but I silence all the noise Turn the pain into a rhythm, turn the choice into the voice Mama prayed for better days, I’m trying to give her one Son of the struggle, made a promise when I was young That I wouldn’t stop running even when my legs get numb If the finish line move back, then I’m chasing till it’s done Took a thousand “no’s” to my face, never let it break me Turned rejection into fuel, now it’s something that can’t shake me Ain’t no perfect timing, so I make time daily Grind when it’s boring, shine when they say I’m crazy Slept on couches, studio floors, backseat of the car Ate noodles four nights straight just to pay for studio hours People switched up on me when the money got bizarre But the real ones held me down, we gon’ touch the stars Every scar got a story, every loss got a lesson Took the bricks they threw at me, used that pain for my weapon Built a wall then I built a door, then I stepped with a message That the bottom is a place you visit, not a place you rest in I done walked through fire with a smile, cause I knew what’s coming Calm in the chaos, heart steady even when I’m running To the bag, to the booth, to the truth that I’m becoming Something they ain’t expect, now they all sit there stunning Yeah I stumbled on the path, but I never dropped the torch Kept it lit through the rain, through the storms, through the scorched Earth they left me standing on, still I marched Toward the day they say my name when the curtains get drawn No cosign, no look, had to validate myself Put the work in when the room empty, bet on my own health Mental, physical, spiritual, I put it on the shelf Till the time came to cash it in and prove to everyone else That a kid from the block with a dream can really touch gold If he willing to bleed for the art and never sell his soul I done seen fast money fade, watched the real ones grow old So I move with a purpose now, every verse that I hold Is a piece of the puzzle that I’m building on my own No features, no favors, just me standing by the tone
