My Turn
@rapfame_officials #rap #followers I come from cracked pavements and fluorescent hallway lights Where ambition was a rumor and survival was the fight Where old men sat on stoops and talked about the life they missed And children learned to swallow pain before they learned to exist I wrote my truth in margins of a notebook no one read While the world was busy sleeping I was building in my head They said the odds was stacked, I said the odds ain't never lied But neither did the hunger that was burning deep inside This ain't luck — this is blood, this is years of staying still Watching others eat their season knowing I would get my fill Every door they closed on me became a wall I learned to climb I been paying every debt the universe put on my time Now the receipt is ready, and the balance reads as mine Step aside respectfully — I'm walking down my line It's my turn, can't nobody take this from me Came from nothing, built a throne out of what they called ugly It's my turn, every scar got a story behind it They threw away the diamond — now they mad that I found it It's my turn(x4) You wanna talk about struggle? Let me open up this wound I been my own worst enemy inside a darkened room Doubted every word I wrote, deleted every line Convinced myself a hundred times that none of this was mine But something kept me writing when the voice said I was done Something in my chest refused to dim, refused to run I remember nights I sat with nothing but a pen and pain Talking to the ceiling asking God to speak my name And slowly — slowly — something started breaking through Not the world that changed for me, but me that changed my view Now I'm standing in the wreckage of the man I used to be Looking at the Phoenix rising — recognizing that it's me So when they say I came from nowhere I just smile and say Nowhere was exactly where I needed to be forged this way They never gave me nothing but they gave me everything Gave me pain that built the armor, gave me silence that taught me to sing I don't move with anger, I move with purpose in my chest I don't need their validation — I was chosen, I was blessed This wasn't handed down, this wasn't written in their plans This was carved out of the dark by these bare and calloused hands My turn don't mean your fall — it means the light reached my side It means the seed they buried underground finally arrived I painted pictures on the corners where the lost ones dwell Every bar a brushstroke pulling brothers out of hell The world was my canvas, the streets was my university Now my name echo through time with surgical certainty They put us in the bottom just to watch us suffocate But roses crack through concrete when the spirit won't capitulate I died for something bigger than the flesh they tried to bury My turn was never over — truth don't need a cemetery Went from sardines on the table to the feast laid out for kings Stayed patient in the struggle while I plotted bigger things Never let 'em see me sweat behind the cool I always wore Born ready for my moment — now I'm knocking at the door I sat with my demons till I understood their name Turned generational curses into generational flame This ain't just my turn — this is every soul that prayed in vain My victory belongs to everyone who suffered through the same They counted every stumble like they keeping score on me Wrote me off in chapters they ain't finish — couldn't ignore the ink Every scar became a syllable, every wound became a rhyme Sit down world — I been waiting — now I'm taking back my time They don't remember this moment Not because I forced them to But because the truth always find it's way And this is my truth This is my turn I earned every single second of this And I ain't giving it back
