Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I don’t rush shots, I calculate space, While they panic in circles, I read time off their face. Fresh jersey on, crowd cheer when I score, But the locker room quiet when I walk out the door. They want trophies and chants, want a simple disguise, But I seen monsters crawl outta the white of they eyes. Friday night lights, Saturday fear, Same town switch sides when the truth get near. They call it a game, I call it a test, Who you stand with when the mob get stressed? I hear whispers get sharp, turn faith into blades, Point fingers at kids just to feel unafraid. They say “pick a side,” like it’s black and it’s white, But survival live deep in the gray of the fight. I don’t follow the crowd, I don’t move when they yell, I seen what happens when you leave friends in hell. [Hook] Locked in focus, never blink, never fold, Deadeye discipline, yeah, I stay cold. When the noise get loud and the fear take hold, I’m the one stayin’ steady when the truth turn bold. [Verse 2] Basketball palms, but my hands still shake, Not from the shot — from the choices I make. They dap me up now, say I’m finally “in,” Same mouths talk wild ‘bout my friends and my kin. They don’t know Eddie, don’t know the nights, Don’t know dice rolls kept us livin’ through fights. They see costumes, games, imaginary foes, I see blood on the floor where the real shit goes. They wanted me silent, wanted me safe, Wanted me to nod when they weaponized faith. But I won’t let lies wear justice’s face, I stood ten toes when they crossed that space. Lost “friends” fast when I spoke too loud, Funny how brave disappear in a crowd. I chose truth over comfort, loyalty over a win, I’d rather stand alone than betray my own kin. [Hook] Locked in focus, never blink, never fold, Deadeye discipline, yeah, I stay cold. When the noise get loud and the fear take hold, I’m the one stayin’ steady when the truth turn bold. [Verse 3] And Max… yeah, she changed my sight, Taught me strength don’t always look like a fight. She laughed through pain, hid fear in jokes, Held the world up even when her heart damn broke. I watched her float while my chest went numb, Screamed at the air, begged fate not to come. I’d trade every win, every cheer, every ring, Just to pull her back from that invisible string. I stood in front when the danger got close, Took hate from friends who didn’t know what I know. I don’t cry loud, but I bleed just the same, Every silent prayer got her name in the flame. [Verse 4] I ain’t reckless, I’m measured, every move got a cost, I learned real early what you lose when you lost. They laughed at the weapon, called it kid play, Till a clean line fly and the threat fade away. I don’t need a crown, don’t chase validation, I just keep my people out the graveyard rotation. When the world go blind and the rules collapse, Trust the one who stayed calm when reality snapped. [Outro] I don’t fold for approval, I stand where I’m meant— Deadeye discipline. Every choice deliberate. Every shot intent.
