Credibility

**(Intro)**  
Who are you without a name? Step back, let me tell you,  
In the good and the bad, they remember my hell too.  
Built from the struggle, forged in the flame,  
But you can’t grasp that, so let’s play this game.
**(Verse 1)**  
Yo, name’s ringing bells like a church on a Sunday,  
But it’s built by my hustle, not what others say.  
I’ve got the credibility, you know the score,  
Yet your claims are just paper, I’m knocking on doors.  
What the fuck do you have to claim besides your pretense?  
I’ve earned my respect; it’s your ego that's dense.  
You’re just an entitled little bitch, so trite,  
All your credibility’s missing, you lost in the fight.
**(Chorus)**  
I don’t play for the fame, I play for the grind,  
You act tough, but I see right through your lies.  
You had so much to prove, showing pride and misuse,  
But it’s all just a show, just a tool to seduce.
**(Verse 2)**  
Stay in your lane? Man, I wish you had too,  
But your need for control brought disaster to your crew.  
Came on strong, thought you could flex with the love,  
But it’s all for the clout, just a mask that you shove.  
Forgetting real talk? A dick got you afloat,  
While I’m paddling through storms, I’m the one who wrote hope.  
I got the stripes, the scars, the blood, sweat, and tears,  
Recognition’s in the work, and it’s loud in my years.
**(Chorus)**  
I’ve earned my respect; you were handed your fame,  
In a world full of players, I redefine the game.  
You thought you were special, but the truth’s coming clear,  
I’m the master they fear, man, I’m the one they revere.  
**(Bridge)**  
Now, let’s break it down, this illusion you built,  
You act like a king, but your throne’s made of guilt.  
I’m the priest that they call when the truth hits the fan,  
You got a delusional grip; I’m the one with a plan.  
**(Verse 3)**  
Heavy emotion, yeah, I’m spitting it raw,  
With anger and passion, I’ll expose every flaw.  
You think you the villain, but I’m breaking the chain,  
You’re just a shadow passing, while I’m dancing in rain.  
Cherishing hard gains while you drown in deceit,  
I walk with my head high, while you’re stuck on repeat.  
So remember this lesson, it’s a hell of a shame,  
Who are you without a name? Just a player in my game.
**(Chorus)**  
I’ve earned my respect; you were handed your fame,  
In a world full of players, I redefine the game.  
You thought you were special, but the truth’s coming clear,  
I’m the master they fear, man, I’m the one they revere.  
**(Outro)**  
So check yourself, kid, it’s the end of the ride,  
No more hiding behind all your fabricated pride.  
In the end, it’s my name that echoes in the night,  
Not just a hollow echo—I'm the truth, I’m the light.
