Look, they told me that the vision was a ghost in the static. Now the city lights are flickering, it's all cinematic. Started with a pocket full of nub, nothing but the hunger. Trying to stay warm while the winter grew younger. Every no was a brick, yeah, I built up the wall. Knowing was a brick, yeah, I built up the wall. Knowing if I slipped there was no one to call, yeah. Just the hum of the fridge and the sound of my pen. Writing down the maps to get out of the den. Look at how the skyline glows. Where the light ends, the shadow grows. Came too far to see it fade. In the bed that the ambition made. No turning back, the bridge is gone. Chasing the lights until the dawn. Yeah, chasing the lights until the dawn. Hey, they used to laugh when I talked about the jet stream. Now they're asking for a seat inside the jet dream. Yeah, inside the jet dream. Funny how the silence gets loud when you're rising. I was in the basement while they were all sizing. Measuring the distance, I'm leagues past the start. Had to put the armor on over the heart. Self-reliance is a lonely kind of crown. Harder to keep it up than it was to stay down, yeah. Yeah, we here now. Skyline staying bright, no turning back. Finally breathing deep. Watching the seeds take root. No rush to the top, just heavy with the fruit. Every inch. Kept my feet in the clay. Still the same man. Just a different view today. Pockets light as air. Counting cents for the train. Messages on red. Feeling numb to the pain. Stacking boxes on the shift. Neon flickering bright. Building blueprints in my head. Through the middle of the night. Neon flickering bright. Yeah, yeah. Through the middle of the night. Had to look in the mirror. Ask if I was dreaming too loud. While the world saw a ghost. I was hiding in a cloud. No handouts, just the sweat. And the coffee on the bread. Working till the silence was the only thing I had left. They were laughing in the stands while I was bruising on the floor. Now they're knocking on the floor. Now they're not on the frame. Trying to open up the door. Funny how the rhythm and the reason start to align. When you keep the vision clear while they're waiting for a sign. Finally breathing deep. Watching the seeds take root. No rush to the top. Just heavy with the fruit. I earned every inch. Kept my feet in the clay. Still the same man. Just a different view today. The room got quiet. Who was standing there? The lights went out and the cupboards were bare. Yeah, I see the faces now that the sun is up. But they wasn't pouring when I didn't have a cup. When the bank was zero man the phone didn't ring. Now I'm seeing hey bro from the boys in the spring. There were the texts when the heat got cut. Or the door stayed locked when my heart was shut. Now they mention loyalty and we go back. But their history with me is a rhythmic track. Reading motives in the silence. Seeing ghosts in the light. I don't know an explanation for the things I did right. Protected this peace like a fortress wall. While they were waiting for a public fall. No more explaining how I got the bread. Just remember all the things that you never said. I see the movement. I see the play. I know who walked and who chose to stay. Keep the circle small. Keep the motives clean. I'm the only real one that I've ever seen. Yeah the flow is different. The air is thin. Only the honest get let back in. Recognize the ones who stayed. When the bill was due and the debt wasn't paid. Recognize the ones who stayed. Yeah. When the world was cold and the sky turned gray. That's the peace you earned. That's the truth you find. Leaving all the fakes and the ghosts behind. Recognize the ones who stayed. In the silent moments the foundations laid. Late night thoughts. Just me and the truth. Peace of mind. Soft humming. Stay true. The city lights are glowing like a map to where I've been. Loyalty is everything. The anchor in the wind. I'm making progress now but staying grounded in the clay. While the ghost of who I was keep fading into gray. Success is just a phantom if you lose the ones you love. Counting stars and neon signs and checking up above. I'm chasing shadows in the marble hall. Progress is a climb where you might lose it all. But loyalty is heavy, keeps my feet upon the floor. I'm the same man that I was before I walked through this door. Grounded in the struggle. Reaching for the peak. Finding all the answers that I used to have to seek. Changed the view but kept the vision in the dark. Progress in the finish but the fire's in the spark. Loyalty is tested when the checks are getting bigger. Watching every move like a hand is on the trigger. I'm grounded in the mud while the penthouse is the gold. Money fills the bank but it satisfy the soul. I'm chasing shadows in the marble hall. Progress is a climb where you might lose it all. But loyalty is heavy, keeps my feet upon the floor. I'm the same man that I was before I walked through this door. Grounded in the struggle. Reaching for the peak. Finding all the answers that I used to have to seek. Now they're calling out my name when I step inside the room. Watching for the blossom but they never saw the bloom. Success is attracting every eye that wasn't there. But I'm breathing in the loyalty, it's thicker in the air. Stay grounded through the turbulence, I didn't lose my head. I remember every word that my inner circle said. More layers to the vision, more percussion to the life. Cutting through the static like a diamond on a knife. Midnight oil burning. The screen glows blue, the screen glows blue. I'm staring at the contact. Wondering if I should talk to you. Another dial tone ringing in a hollow room. Tracing patterns on the carpet in the velvet gloom. You said you were sleeping but the status shows you're active now. Silence is a mountain and I don't know how to pass it now. Missed the way you laughed, it used to feel the static in my head. Now I'm just repeating every word that we haven't said. Check the tense back, 3am and still no reply. Clouds of doubt blown over like a heavy winter sky. You're arguing through text, I'm looking for the missing piece. Trust is getting thinner while the friction starts to increase. We're both digging trenches, I'm looking for the missing piece. Trust is getting thinner while the friction starts to increase. We're both digging trenches, acting like we're enemies. But I'm still the one who's counting all your hidden remedies. Acting like we're enemies. But I'm still the one who's counting all your hidden remedies. Let's put the phones down, try to repair the broken track. I'm standing on the bridge waiting for you to come back. We're walking at different speeds on the same street. Looking for a rhythm where our hearts actually meet. Love is just a timing thing, a complicated math. Trying not to lose each other on this winding path. No mellor or drama, just the truth of how it really is. Caring for you deeply, through the lows and through the fears. Moving in a cycle, trying to find a steady pace. I can see the hesitation written on your tired face. We care, we do, but we're moving at different speeds. But we're moving at different speeds. Sewing different stories from the same batch of seeds. Restrained hearts, beating in the dark out of sync. Tied by the love, but standing right on the brink. Yeah, we're moving at different speeds. Trying to find exactly what the other one needs. It's not that I'm gone, I'm just watching the clock. Wondering when the door is finally gonna lock. One step forward, then we slide two steps back. Missing all the moments that we'll never get back. Different speeds, same road, same sky. Just trying to keep the fire from going dry. Moving at different speeds. Just let the rhythm take us where it needs. The keys are on the counter. Your coffee's getting cold. Before it could be told. Another story finished. Before it could be told. When the roar of the crowd fades into the brick and the gray. And the bank account balance has nothing to say. When the flash of the camera. When the flash of the camera is a ghost in your head. And you're staring at shadows in a king-size bed. Who are you then? When the noise stops calling and the noise stops pain. And the noise stops pains. They're a man beneath the armor. Or just the words we're saying. Just a heartbeat in a hallway. Just a breath in the dark. So I'm building it back from the marrow to the bone. No more mirrors to lie to, I'm standing alone. No more ghosts in the circle, just the weight of the crown. I'm picking up the pieces that the world threw down. Now I know the name when the lights go out. I know the truth without a shadow of doubt. Without a shadow of doubt. The city's breathing while I'm still awake. Counting every move and every single risk I take. The dreaming of the things I'm building in the dark. Igniting every wire looking for the final spark. I took the static and I turned it into fuel. I'm playing by a different set of internal rules. They said the money changes people when it comes in stacks. But I'm the same man working on the same old tracks. Constructing monuments out of the stones they threw. Building something solid, something permanent and new. Like a piston, listen. Every vision that they missed is something glistening in the distance. I'm resistant to the friction and the contradictions. I'm resistant to the friction and the contradiction. Writing the conviction in a story with no fiction. Baselight slides like a ghost through the speakers. Reaching for the peak while they're sitting in the bleachers. Look at the lights from the top of the tower. Calculated distance and measuring the power. Earned every moment, earned every mile. Walking through the fire with a confident smile. The freedom is heavy, the freedom is mine. Now the sun is breaking through the midnight glass. Watching all the shadows of the struggle pass. I found my peace in the middle of the rain. Turning every loss into a permanent gain. Still here, just the start of a final hour. The winners in the chest, yeah surviving every doubt. Kept the vision in my head when the lights went out. Now the success is earned, no handouts just a sweat. Loyalty is everything, I haven't changed a bit yet. Stay grounded in the roots, even when the ceiling's high. Seeing clarity inside the storm, looking at the sky. Loyalty is all I got. Loyalty is all I got, that's what I'm about. The concrete was my canvas, painted pictures of the climb Every second was a lesson, yeah I'm grateful for the time No fakes around the table, only brothers who can vouch Sleepin' with a heavy heart, now I'm restin' on the couch But the heart is still the same, pumpin' iron, pumpin' gold Story of a quiet king that hasn't all been told, yeah Pumpin' iron, pumpin' gold Story of a quiet king that hasn't all been told, yeah Stayin' ground that hasn't all been told, yeah Yeah, stayin' grounded by the truth, my circle's surrounded Cold winters in the chest, yeah, surviving every doubt Kept a vision in my head when the lights went out Now the success is earned, no handouts, just a sweat Loyalty is everything, I haven't changed a bit yet Loyalty is everything, haven't changed a bit yet Stay grounded in the roots, even when the ceiling's high Seen clarity inside the storm, look in the sky Loyalty is all I got Loyalty is all I got, that's what I'm about Still the same man, just a different view What was once a dream is now the truth, it's through Feet on the earth, head in the clouds, no lie Watch the legacy buildin' while the hours fly Earned every scar, built it from the dust Only circle full of souls that I actually trust No fake handshakes, no shifting of the eyes Just a quiet king risin' under charcoal skies Stay down till you're up, then you stay level Dance with the success, but never with the devil Yeah, we here now, grounded forever Still the same, still the one Keep the groove, let it roll One more time for the city Lights on the dash, room is gettin' cold Lights on the dash, but the room is gettin' cold Heavy is the head, yeah, the story's gettin' old I'm chasin' down the dreams, but the shadows start to grow Everything I found is everything I didn't know Sittin' in the driveway, starin' at the gate Everyone I know is just tryin' to negotiate, yeah I miss the days of the bike rides and the sun on the skin Before the ledger was the only way to measure what's within, yeah Now they're knockin' on the glass with a handout and a grin Wonderin' how much change a single soul is tucked in I learned that currency can't, can't stitch, stitch a heart that's torn in two And all the gold in the vault won't buy back a minute with you Countin', but the oxygen is thin Still keepin' all the secrets underneath the porcelain But for the ones I love, I'd do it all a second time Even when the world is wild and I'm standin' here alone I'm buildin' up a kingdom just to bring you to the throne The walls are gettin' thinner, yet a city made of cloud Tryin' to find a shadow in a city made of cloud I don't talk to ghosts, I just listen to the heat The cost of stayin' level while I'm movin' on the street Pressure, pressure I had to learn the game from the bottom to the top Built a mental fortress just so none of them could stop The vision I was keepin' while they fed me all the doubt out Now I'm turnin' every candle in the dark and lightin' out No approval needed in the dark and lightin' out No approval needed, I don't follow what they trace I just put the work in, put the rhythm in the space The future isn't promised, but the future is aflame I'm movin' with the speed and I'm rewriting the name Pressurin' the diamonds, yeah the clarity is new Lookin' where I'm headed, I'm the one they never knew Had to learn the game from the bottom to the top Built a mental fortress just so none of them could stop The vision I was keepin' while they fed me all the doubt The vision I was keepin' while they fed me all the doubt out Now I'm turnin' every candle in the dark and lightin' out No approval needed, I don't follow what they trace I just put the work in, put the rhythm in the space Yeah, into the light We keep it movin', just watch No doubt Out the shadow, yeah I'm findin' the light Cutting the doubt with a clinical strike They wanted a nod, they wanted a wave But I buried the need in a shallow grave Buildin' a bridge to a sky I can claim Leavin' the ghost of the crowd in the game No validation, I'm movin' alone King of the heart, I don't need a throne Yeah, I don't need a throne I remember the scent of the winter When we had nothin' but hunger and hope I remember the cracks in the ceiling The way that we'd struggle to cope I remember the phone calls that felt like a lifeline Ringing in rooms built for two I remember the silence of leavin' The ones who believed in the person I knew I remember the coffee was bitter The pockets were lighter The spirit was whole Now the gold on the table is heavy It's weighin' the parts of my soul Yeah, the cost was the ghost of the boy in the mirror And the mirror's getting a little too clear Still walkin' the line while the shadows descend I'm findin' the strength to just start from the end Not lookin' behind where the bridges were burnt Just countin' the lessons that I had to learn Movin' forward, I'm out of cold, heavy stone Checkin' the map of a life that was lived in the dark Fuelin' the flame and I'm catchin' a new kind of spark The pressure is heavy but diamonds are made in the deep Diamonds are made in the deep Still walkin' the line while the shadows descend I'm findin' the strength to just start from the end Not lookin' behind where the bridges were burnt Just countin' forward, I'm movin' alone Buildin' a heart out of cold, heavy stone Just countin' the lessons, yeah The lights are blurring on the windowpane Runnin' circles just to feel the rain Everything I found is what I lose again Tell me where the ending starts to begin Ember basement walls and empty pockets Old memories locked up inside of mental lockets Who stayed when the heater stopped workin'? Who left when they saw the shadow lurking? I learned that silence is a heavy price for fame That the people who love you don't even know your name What was gained was the man I'm starting to see Now the path ahead is quiet and it's cold Breaking every story that was ever told The city doesn't sleep, it just holds its breath There's no life without a little bit of death The voices faded, the static cleared out I finally know what the journey was about No more rushing for a finish line I didn't set No more drowning in an ocean of regret Footsteps echo on the concrete tonight Left the struggle just to find the light Still breathing through the noise of the street Finally making the bitter taste sweet Just keep moving forward
