Lyrics

Look…
They say time heals…
Nah
Time just teaches broken people how to smile without moving the fracture
You watched me bleed with a poker face, folded faith like it owed a debt
Whole heart on the table while you calculated what you'd hold instead
Funny how forever fit inside a sentence till the weather switched
Now every "I love you" sound counterfeit whenever it's remembered, bitch
I was building foundations, you were measuring exits
I brought blueprints to war, you were burying leverage
Now my soul got security, trust needs credentials
Every hug feel rented, every kiss got initials
I learned love ain't blind—it's selective as hell
Ignoring every red flag 'cause the green felt familiar itself
Now I dissect silence like it's part of the autopsy
'Cause the loudest betrayals usually whisper when they copy
You made me question mirrors, made me bargain with ghosts
Started drinking conversations that I'd never propose
Had my pride in a casket with my name on the plaque
Had to dig up my backbone just to carry it back
You don't know what it costs when the hope disappears
When you laugh in a room but you're choking on years
I quit asking "why?"
Started asking "what's next?"
Now the pain write the checks while I'm signing the rest
You can keep every memory…
I'm keeping the hunger
Funny how heartbreak made me ten times fucking younger
Every scar got grammar, every stitch got a sermon
Pain became fluent—I just translated the burden
I quit praying you'd change, started changing the prayer
Asked God for stronger shoulders, not somebody to care
See…
That's growth
Knowing closure don't knock
Sometimes healing is changing every lock on your thoughts
I don't hate you…
That emotion too cheap
Indifference hit harder when it finally speaks
See revenge need attention—
Success don't
That's why my silence make noise while your echoes don't
I turned abandonment into a business model
Now every setback fuel, every loss full throttle
Pressure made diamonds?
Pressure made addicts
Pressure made legends that survived their own habits
So when they ask about us…
I shrug with a grin
Some chapters only matter 'cause they teach how they end
You didn't ruin me
You revealed me
There's a difference
One destroys
The other introduces you to somebody
you would've never met without the fire
I don't carry resentment—
That suitcase got heavy
Dropped it on the roadside where it couldn't outlive me
Every city I conquer got your ghost in the crowd
Watching strangers scream lyrics you were too blind to pronounce
Now my mother's got peace
Now my brothers got hope
Now the family eating off the words that I wrote
Tell me…
How you gonna break somebody chosen by the pressure?
Every wound became a compass
Every loss became a lecture
I quit chasing affection
Started earning respect
Funny how the same world overlook what it can't yet collect
If I die before tomorrow
Don't cry for my name
Tell 'em heartbreak was the match…
I just mastered the flame
'Cause real love never left me…
It was waiting in the man
I became
after you did
