Keep Pace

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I step in like the tension just snapped,
Tongue sharp, every sentence a trap,
Mind racing, engine adapt,
I don’t coast, I’m flooring it fast.
They whisper when I pass, see the look in their eyes,
Same stare you give thunder right before it collides,
I don’t need validation, I been earning my stripes,
While you’re circling the rumor mill, I’m working the mic.
Pen venomous, sentences splitting your focus,
I pivot and smoke ‘em with syllables potent,
I don’t follow the moment, I bend it, deform it,
Turn pressure to diamonds, performance is flawless.

[Chorus]
Alright, now watch me as I glide into the room,
All the fellas see me an assume,
I’m gonna take her to the guest bedroom,
But all the fellas see me, get jealous,
Maybe zealous,
Get yourself out of my face,
I can’t help that I light up the place,
Do your best now, keep pace.
Yeah, I move with a spark they can’t replace,
Every step like a highlight replayed,
While they talk, I accelerate,
Do your best now, keep pace.

[Verse 2]
I been built from the cracks in the pavement,
Where patience was thin and the odds were outrageous,
Turn doubt into fuel, now the fire is sacred,
Every bar I release is a shot at complacence.
They mirror my cadence but miss the intent,
Try to walk in my shoes, couldn’t fit in the steps,
I’m a problem, a glitch in the system they sent,
Unpredictable rhythm, I zig when they bent.
No brakes when I’m zoning, I’m locked in a spree,
Every beat getting murdered, chalk outline of me,
You can hate from the sidelines, barking for free,
I’m too busy carving my name in the scene.

[Chorus]
Alright, now watch me as I glide into the room,
All the fellas see me an assume,
I’m gonna take her to the guest bedroom,
But all the fellas see me, get jealous,
Maybe zealous,
Get yourself out of my face,
I can’t help that I light up the place,
Do your best now, keep pace.
I don’t slow for the shade you throw,
I just shine till the pressure breaks,
Run the track like it’s tailor-made,
Do your best now, keep pace.

[Bridge]
Hold up—let me breathe in the silence,
Heartbeat loud, hear the doubt getting quiet,
Every scar got a story behind it,
Every loss just refined the assignment.
I was built for the war, not the wish,
Every miss turned sharp like this,
Now I stand in the eye of it all,
Unmoved when the world gets loud.

[Verse 3]
Now I’m back with a vengeance, precise and direct,
Every word like a check I collect,
They expected a fall, I perfected the climb,
Turned the pressure of seconds to diamonds in time.
I don’t chase what they flaunt, I command my respect,
When I speak, even echoes are paying their debts,
From the bottom to the spotlight’s glare,
I ain’t lucky—I was ready, I swear.
