歌詞

I was losing conversations with the mirror every night

Promise in my pupils but the room was outta light

Dreams taped together, torn from every “maybe,”

Future felt distant like a voice tryna save me

City breathing pressure, I inhale it like a test

Every doubt asking questions, every scar saying “next.”

Family in my bloodstream, I run it through my veins

Turned the weight of every fall into leverage and gains

Youth stuck in the hallway, nowhere left to go

But the echo of my footsteps says I’m louder than I know

Lonely ain’t a weakness, it’s a signal getting strong

Even silence hums a note when you been holding on

I found proof in the silence, I was built for the climb

Every setback speaking fluent in the language of time

I’m affirming my shadow, yeah, I’m owning my name

Future knocking heavy, I been ready for the change

If the world feels frozen, let my voice break the ice—

I’m the sum of my battles, not the roll of the dice

Yeah—mind on a chessboard, life moving like checkers

They measure worth in likes, I measure truth in my pressure

Ambition doing overtime, clock broke but I’m paid

Turning closed doors to metaphors I kicked and reframed

I was down, now I’m proof that the math still works

Subtract all the fear, watch the courage convert

Youth fighting gravity, stuck between then and now

But resistance make rockets—look at me breaking ground

If you feel trapped in a moment, hear me talking to you

Every night cracks open just enough for the blue

Hope ain’t loud at first, it learns how to speak

Starts as doubt in the dark, ends as strength when you leap

I found proof in the silence, yeah, my future replies

Dreams standing tall where the loneliness lies

From the youth in the shadows to the light up ahead

We’re alive in the questions, not the words that they said
