Lyrics

Prelude

Rain on the window, city drowned in midnight

Static in my mind, thoughts heavy, never light

Bassline creeping in like a secret I hide

Street tales run deep where the shadows collide

Footsteps echo, pavement cold as regret

No silver linings, just a lesson you ain't met yet

Money in the cracks and the dreams in the drain

Only truth that I trust is the grind and the pain

Intro

Dark clouds movin in, heart heavy, keep composure

Lessons carved in pain, make a soldier

Yeah, bass deep, east side, listen

Intro

Dark clouds movin in, heart heavy, keep composure

Lessons carved in pain, make a soldier

Yeah, bass deep, east side, listen

Verse 1

See that heartbreak wasn't punishment, uh-uh

Built from the gutters, learn to duck the laws

Friends turn to foes, snakes shed on the lawn

Trust in the pain, my vision stay sharp

Nightmares in the stairwell, hope never gone

Glory or the grave, been runnin too long

Silence in the streets, truth sittin in my palm

Used to want revenge, now I’m moving on

Chorus

See that heartbreak wasn’t punishment, uh-uh

It was protection, part of my projection

Now don’t let it go over your head

Straight up let’s go, rise from all I bled

Verse 2

Paranoia got me watching who’s behind me

Lost too many brothers to the game, tryna find me

Staring out the window at a world that’s grinding

Cold soul, turn the hurt into perfect timing

Memories on corners, where dreams get sold

Spirit never broke, even when the world cold

Lessons in my losses, wisdom never old

From the below to the bold, East side’s gold

Chorus

See that heartbreak wasn’t punishment, uh-uh

It was protection, part of my projection

Now don’t let it go over your head

Straight up let’s go, rise from all I bled

Verse 3

Trust built on nothing, foundations that crack

Had to lose everything just to take it all back

No love in the silence, just lessons in pain

Kept my code through the drought, never switching for fame

Dodged every fake hand, found peace in the scars

Money come and go, at night you count bars

Still stand tall, yeah the shadows been long

But my loyalty strong, kept me right all along

Outro

It ain’t punishment, learned to see the signs

Real ones know, it’s protection by design

Rain fades slow, but the hunger don’t end

Still rise from the fire, truth never bend
