[Intro]

(Growl… static…)

Rage inside… rage inside…

(Thunder in the chest…)

Been holding it down for so long, now it’s breaking the cage…

Can’t turn the page, can’t disengage…

(Breathe…)

Yeah… let it out…

[Chorus: Melodic Vocal, strained, powerful]

Rage inside, burning through the core,

Can’t take it no more, can’t lock the door.

Rage inside, scratching at the skin,

Where the war begins, where the end wears thin… yeah.

(Fire… venom…)

Rage inside, knocking on the bone,

Swallowing the throne, making itself known.

Rage inside, the only thing I trust,

Turning love to dust, turning must to must.

[Verse 1: Raspy, Laid-back Vocal]

(Seethe… simmer…)

Yeah… I been keeping it quiet, keeping it low,

Now the pressure gotta go, gotta flow.

Rage inside, it started as a spark in the dark,

Now it’s leaving a mark, tearing apart… (apart…)

They ask “Why you always tense? Why you always on the fence?”

I say “Rage inside don’t make no sense, it’s immense.”

It’s the father that left, the promise that broke,

The smoke in the joke, the choke in the spoke… (spoke…)

I built a temple for the fury in my chest,

Now it’s beating the best, failing the test.

Rage inside, my only honest friend,

In the end, it’s the bend I defend… (defend…)

(Ad-libs: Yeah, Seethe, Simmer, Spark)

[Chorus: Melodic Vocal]

Rage inside, burning through the core,

Can’t take it no more, can’t lock the door.

Rage inside, scratching at the skin,

Where the war begins, where the end wears thin… yeah.

(Fire… venom…)

Rage inside, knocking on the bone,

Swallowing the throne, making itself known.

Rage inside, the only thing I trust,

Turning love to dust, turning must to must.

[Verse 2: Energetic, Trap Flow]

(Snap… rupture…)

Yeah… rage inside, now the cage is breaking,

Everything I’m making, everything I’m taking.

I been swallowing the screams, swallowing the dreams,

Now it’s tearing at the seams, bursting at the streams… (streams…)

They see the calm, they see the cool,

They don’t see the tool, they don’t see the fuel.

Rage inside, a volcano in my veins,

Dancing with the pains, breaking all the chains… (chains…)

She touched my arm and felt the shake,

Said “Baby, how long you gon’ fake?”

I said “Rage inside don’t take a break, for goodness sake.”

Now I’m letting it loose, letting it spray,

In the fray, I obey… (obey…)

(Ad-libs: Yeah, Snap, Rupture, Volcano)

[Bridge: Both Voices, layered, intense]

[Raspy Vocal]

Rage inside… blackout…

[Trap Vocal]

No way out… let it shout…

[Together]

I’ve been hiding in the quiet, now the riot

Is the only thing I buy it, I apply it… (apply it…)

(Ad-libs: Break, Let go, Unchain)

[Chorus: Both Voices, harmonies, explosive]

Rage inside, burning through the core,

Can’t take it no more, can’t lock the door.

Rage inside, scratching at the skin,

Where the war begins, where the end wears thin… yeah.

(Fire… venom…)

Rage inside, knocking on the bone,

Swallowing the throne, making itself known.

Rage inside, the only thing I trust,

Turning love to dust, turning must to must.

[Verse 3: Raspy Vocal, reflective]

(Erupt… scar…)

Yeah… rage inside taught me that the fury is a gift,

When the world tries to shift, when the spirits lift.

I been aiming at the target, aiming at the pain,

Let the rage inside reign, let it stain… (stain…)

They say “Let it go, forgive, forget,”

But the rage inside is my silhouette, my debt.

Every time I tried to drown it in the cup,

It stood up, it threw up, it never gave up… (up…)

Now I’m learning to shape it, to aim it, to tame it,

Not to blame it, but to name it, to claim it.

Rage inside, my fire and my flood,

In the blood, in the mud, in the thud… (thud…)

(Ad-libs: Yeah, Erupt, Scar, Aim)

[Bridge 2: Trap Vocal, building]

(Release… harness…)

Rage inside… what if I make it art?

What if I tear apart the dark and restart?

I can build a kingdom from the heat,

In the street, in the beat, I’ll compete… (compete…)

[Chorus: Both Voices, explosive, layered]

Rage inside, burning through the core,

Can’t take it no more, can’t lock the door.

Rage inside, scratching at the skin,

Where the war begins, where the end wears thin… yeah.

(Fire… venom…)

Rage inside, knocking on the bone,

Swallowing the throne, making itself known.

Rage inside, the only thing I trust,

Turning love to dust, turning must to must.

[Outro]

(Fade… pulse slowing…)

Rage inside… yeah…

Now it’s not a cage, it’s a stage… I engage…

Every beat, every page, every rage…

Rage inside… finally mine…

(Whisper…)

Rage inside… out.

(Heartbeat thudding… silence…)
