I used to say, now, now, now, now
Like time was chasing me down an alley
Like if I stop moving, I remember everything I tried to forget
Oh yeah
That wasn't confidence, that was survival making noise
They said pow, pow, pow
Like life was a gunfight
And I was supposed to duck
Instead of stand there and stare it down
Fuck them all
Not out of anger, out of exhaustion
What you need, what you want
Everybody reaching like I owe them something
While I'm still trying to pay myself back
Now tell me, fight for what?
Respect?
Rent?
A name they'll pronounce right after I'm dead?
I was full of shit once, we all are
Till life sits you down and says, take a shit, start over
They said I'd never make it, wow
Like that was supposed to hurt
But it only proved they were watching
Closer than they admitted, fuck you
Not loud, just clear, that kind of fuck you
You say when you finally stop explaining yourself
They thought they were the best, I said next
Not because I won, but because I stayed
It was always a competition
Even when I didn't sign up
Even when I was just trying to breathe
Without asking permission
I'm still here, standing
That's not a flex, but that's a fact
I left you there, hanging
Not because I hate you
But because I refuse to drown with you
Pow, pow, pow
That sound isn't violence
It's impact
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
That's urgency
That sound is emergency
That's urgency
That's a heartbeat refusing to slow down
Fuck you now
Not tomorrow
No, not when I'm polished
Now, because I earned the right to exist
Before you approved me, I didn't win
I endured
And somehow, that scared you more than success ever could
Now hear this
I don't need applause
I survived the quiet
Where nobody clapped
Where doubt slept beside me
And I still woke up
I've been hungry so long
Success tastes strange in my mouth
Like guilt mixed with victory
Like why me?
Arguing with why not?
I made friends with failure
Shook hands with shame
Learn my own name
When they try to erase it
This ain't rage
This is clarity with its teeth out
This is what happens when a soul stops asking for permission
Pow
Wasn't a gun, it was the door slamming
Now wasn't a moment, it was me deciding
I don't chase crowns
I outlast storms
I don't break easy
I bend history
So if you're listening
And you hear madness , good
That's the sound of a person who refused to disappear
Lights off
Heartbeat
Still on
