🎵 Hook (chanty, anthem-style)
If I die tonight, carve my name in smoke (real one)
Turn my pain to gold, turn the dirt to quotes (say that)
I ain’t need no wave — I made my coast
Let ‘em hate, I was born to provoke
If they bury me, bury me bold (10 toes)
With a pen in my hand and the truth I told
They gon’ feel me even if I fade
I ain’t live safe — I carved my name
---
[Verse 1 – Relentless tone, all punches]
I ain’t wait for a lane — I made a new one
From a room full of silence, I became the fuse, son
I ain’t beg for a seat — I broke that chair
Now I sit on pressure like I own despair
I bled for lines that made ‘em quote me
Wrote my pain so real, it spoke ghostly
I ain’t move to impress — I moved to exist
So when I die, remember me by every risk
Put my story in the ink, not the caption
'Cause legacy don’t beg for reaction

🎵 Hook (repeat with layered vocals)
If I die tonight, carve my name in smoke
Turn my pain to gold, turn the dirt to quotes
I ain’t need no wave — I made my coast
Let ‘em hate, I was born to provoke
If they bury me, bury me bold
With a pen in my hand and the truth I told
They gon’ feel me even if I fade
I ain’t live safe — I carved my name
---
[Verse 2 – Statement bars, deep self-awareness]
I ain’t tryna be liked — I’m tryna be heard
Let ‘em scroll past love, but feel every word
They gon’ say I was flawed, but I stood on that
Never faked my light, even when it cracked
They gave me no hope, just harder days
So I built myself like alleyways
One way in, no way out
Carve my name where the real ones shout
If silence is death, then I spit revival
Every track a scar — this tape my bible
---
🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 2:
“Truth only.” / “Stamped.” / “I said that.” / “No fade.”

🎧 Outro – beat slows, heartbeat fades
(Spoken)
Don’t remember how I lived...
Remember why.
