Lyric

No Manual

DOHAN

Tick tick

Red digits on my wall

Future loading

But there’s no guide at all

Half-read

Every rule they tried to send

I delete that

Let it burn, let it end (Hey)

They said “Follow the line”

But the line just glitched, disappeared in the light

I’m pacing the room

Every step feels right, but I’m scared I’m behind

Mom calling, “Are you okay?”

I say “Yeah, I’m good” while I wipe sweat away

Whole world in my phone

Still no map for this maze that I roam (Uh)

I don’t need a manual

I just need a spark

Turn this panic into power

Run it through the dark (Woah)

I’m living in a future with no manual

No pages, just a fire in my chest, so actual

I’m racing through the pressure like an animal

If there’s no road

Then I’ll break the road

Yeah, I’ll make the road (Yeah)

I’m living in a future that they can’t control

I carve a new direction with a restless soul

When everything is chaos, I get tactical

If there’s no road

Then I’ll break the road

Yeah, I’ll make the road

Big dreams

Tiny screen, can’t show it

Numbers on my feed

Tryna say that I’m “worth it” or “blow it”

Every “tip” is a trap

Every “hack” is a chain, tryna keep me exact

I mute that noise

Heart so loud, it attacks from the back (Skrrt)

I’m a first edition

Print myself with every bad decision

Cut my own incision

Bleed belief, turn doubt to ammunition (Pow)

I don’t need a manual

I just need a spark

Turn this panic into power

Run it through the dark (Run it, run it)

I’m living in a future with no manual

No pages, just a fire in my chest, so actual

I’m racing through the pressure like an animal

If there’s no road

Then I’ll break the road

Yeah, I’ll make the road (Make the road)

I’m living in a future that they can’t control

I carve a new direction with a restless soul

When everything is chaos, I get tactical

If there’s no road

Then I’ll break the road

Yeah, I’ll make the road

Tick tick

I hear the fear talk slick

“Who are you to flip this script?”

Watch me

Deep breath

I bet my past on the next step

I’ll take the blame, I’ll take the credit

Every scar is how I edit (Woah)

I’m living in a future with no manual

No pages, just a fire in my chest, so actual

I’m racing through the pressure like an animal

If there’s no road

Then I’ll break the road

Yeah, I’ll make the road (Hey, hey)

I’m living in a future that they can’t control

I carve a new direction with a restless soul

When everything is chaos, I get tactical

If there’s no road

Then I’ll break the road

Yeah, I’ll make the road

Tick tick

Let the old rules fall

No manual, no limit

I’ll write it all
