The Calculated Cost

I ran the numbers, I did the math on the soul

I paid the entry fee to take back control

No more guessing on the price of the "New"

Just showing up exactly like I'm meant to do

I sat in the silence with a pen and a light

Calculating every single move for the fight

I counted the hours and the discipline spent

The equity built in the places I went

I looked at the ledger, I balanced the cost

Of every connection and every bridge crossed

I weighed the potential against the regret

And realized the "Artist" hasn't peaked quite yet

The most important thing? It's just showing up

Filling every empty heart and every dry cup

I believe in the blueprint, I believe in the seed

I'm planting the "Godsend" for the people in need

I express the faith in the way that I walk

In the way that I lead and the way that I talk

It's not just a feeling, it's a calculated fact:

Love is the only thing that's worth the impact

So I'm moving forward, yeah, I'm trusting the flow

Calculated exactly where I'm meant to go

Believe in the vision, keep the faith in the chest

Showing up every day-better than the rest

I give back the light that I found in the dark

I'm turning the "Silicon" into a spark.

The math of the spirit is simple and true:

Give love to the world, and it comes back to you.

Meticulous. Methodical. The ADL way.

Choosing the "Rock Star" in the heat of the day

I'm the son and the brother, I'm the uncle and friend

A circle of loyalty that'll never, ever end

I'm the cousin who's standing, the one who will stay

Showing up for my family in a big, bold way

So I'm moving forward, yeah, I'm trusting the flow

Calculated exactly where I'm meant to go

Believe in the vision, keep the faith in the chest

Showing up every day-better than the rest

Show up. Believe

Keep the faith

Calculated... and confirmed.
