STRENGTH

KAOS – BORROW MY STRENGTH This ain't music for the perfect. This is for the ones barely holding on. For the ones who got called weak 'cause nobody ever saw the weight they carried. Listen... --- I want my music to help the weak, Let my lyrics give you strength when you're too tired to speak, Let my beats rhythm your heart when it's losing its beat, If you're down on your knees, put this song on repeat. I've been there, staring at walls in the dark, Trying to find one little flame from a burnt-out spark, Had a war in my head, had a hole in my heart, So I learned how to turn every wound into art. I don't rap for the chains or the cars or fame, I rap for the kid getting bullied and called a name, For the dad who lost everything, drowning in shame, Still gets out of bed every day through the pain. For the woman looking in the mirror feeling worthless, For the man hiding tears underneath the surface, For anyone who ever questioned their purpose, If you're still fucking breathing, then your story ain't finished. --- So when your legs give way... Stand with mine. When your voice disappears... Borrow mine. When the darkness tells you that you've reached the end... Press play. We'll fight again. --- If you're weak, take my strength, If you're lost, take my words, If you're broken, take this beat, Let it remind you what you're worth. Put your hand on your heart, Feel that rhythm underneath, That's the sound of you surviving, That's the sound of you still breathing. YOU'RE STILL HERE! That's enough for tonight. YOU'RE STILL HERE! So tomorrow, we fight. --- getting told you're nothing till you start to believe it, Feed you a lie every day till you're scared to defeat it, But the voice in your head saying, "You'll never achieve it" Ain't a fucking prophecy, mate... You don't have to believe it. I've been laughed at, doubted, pushed aside, Had people I loved look straight through my eyes, But pressure makes diamonds and pain gave me drive, Now I'm building a ladder from the shit I survived. So this one's for the underdog last in the race, Still running with tears and the mud on their face, You don't need to be fearless, just stay in the chase, Courage ain't having no fear... It's moving anyway. Every scar is a sentence, your body's a book, Don't judge your whole story by one chapter that shook, They might've buried your confidence deeper than roots, But even concrete cracks when something underneath shoots. --- [BRIDGE | Stripped back] Maybe nobody told you today... You're needed. Maybe nobody noticed the battle... I see it. And maybe right now you don't believe you've got strength left... That's alright. Borrow mine until you do. --- [FINAL HOOK | FULL ENERGY] If you're weak, take my strength, If you're lost, take my words, If you're broken, take this beat, Let it remind you what you're worth. Put your hand on your heart, Feel that rhythm underneath, That's the sound of you surviving, That's the sound of you still breathing. YOU'RE STILL HERE! Let the whole fucking world hear. YOU'RE STILL HERE! And KAOS stands with you here. --- [OUTRO | Spoken, music fading] I don't want you to worship me. I don't want you to be me. I just want someone, somewhere, on the worst night of their life... to hear one of my songs and decide to see tomorrow. If my music can do that... Then every scar was worth turning into a lyric. KAOS.
