Lyrics

No edits on this one

Straight like that

I don’t need a filter, I been sayin’ what I mean

Voice steady, every word sittin’ clean

They be addin’ layers just to cover what they lack

I just talk real, let the silence hit back

I done seen love turn fake overnight

Seen day ones switch when the money look right

So I keep it low when I’m movin’ through the city

Only ones around me really rockin’ with me

I ain’t gotta yell, they can hear it in the tone

Every time I speak, yeah, I sound like I’m home

I been in my zone, I don’t need a co-sign

Built this from the ground, now it all aligned

Shorty said she tired of the games they play

Said I sound different when I say what I say

No autotune, she can feel every line

Said it hit deeper when the words all mine

I been through phases, had to cut some ties

Had to read truth through a couple lies

Now I keep it simple, I don’t overdo

If it’s real talk, then it’s comin’ through

No edits, no cuts, no fixin’ my sound

If I said it once, I ain’t switchin’ it now

Too real for the fake, I don’t blend with the crowd

They be lost in the noise, I be standin’ out loud

No edits, no mask, no changin’ my tone

Everything I built, yeah, I did on my own

If it’s real, let it breathe, let it live in the moment

I ain’t gotta force it, they already know it

I been movin’ careful, I don’t show every play

They be watchin’ heavy, tryna study my wave

But it came from the grind, late nights, no sleep

Now the same ones doubtin’ tryna get in my reach

I remember conversations they denied me a seat

Now they standin’ when I enter, actin’ proud just to speak

I just nod, keep it cool, I don’t dwell in the past

But I never forget who ain’t want me to last

Shorty ridin’ with me, say she love how I think

Said I never gotta lie just to buy her a drink

I just tell her how it is, keep it solid and plain

She ain’t used to that, now she stuck in my lane

I ain’t chasin’ validation, I been good on my own

Every move calculated, every seed that I’ve sown

Now it’s comin’ back around, yeah, the growth look different

When you build it off truth, you don’t need no permission

If it’s real, let it stay, don’t force it to fit

I done learned if it’s love, you ain’t beggin’ for it

Keep my circle tight, I ain’t lettin’ ’em in

If they switched one time, they could do it again

No edits, no cuts, no fixin’ my sound

If I said it once, I ain’t switchin’ it now

Too real for the fake, I don’t blend with the crowd

They be lost in the noise, I be standin’ out loud

No edits, no mask, no changin’ my tone

Everything I built, yeah, I did on my own

If it’s real, let it breathe, let it live in the moment

I ain’t gotta force it, they already know it

Yeah…

No edits, no polish

Just truth in every line

That’s how it’s supposed to sound
