[Intro – spoken, cold] Last night they counted down. I counted bodies. This ain’t a fresh start — This is a forged one. [Verse 1 – Rap] I was born in the fire, baptized by command, Planet under my boots, blood stuck to my hands. I didn’t ask to be evil, I was trained that way, Prince taught to conquer before I learned how to pray. I laughed while worlds burned, called it Saiyan pride, If mercy showed its face, I’d kill it on sight. I measured my worth by the fear in their eyes, By how many screams fit under one sky. I followed a tyrant ‘cause power felt safe, Wore chains made of hate, called it destiny’s weight. Every corpse was a step, every sin was a rung, Till I looked in the mirror and saw no one. [Hook – Rap] New year don’t clean blood off the past, You don’t reset shit just ‘cause midnight passed. I don’t need forgiveness, I don’t beg, I don’t fold, I rebuild what I broke — pride reforged. [Verse 2 – Rap] Then I lost. Not once — repeatedly. A low-class clown kept defeating me. That hurt more than death ever could, ‘Cause he fought for love — I never understood. Earth showed me weakness that felt like a blade, A woman who challenged me, a child who stayed. I tried to stay cruel, tried to stay cold, But rage don’t warm you when the nights get old. I watched myself choose to die for a cause, Not conquest, not ego — just breaking the laws I lived by for years, every rule I obeyed, I died a villain… and woke up ashamed. [Hook – Rap] Ain’t no halo, I earned every scar, I don’t shine ‘cause I’m good — I shine ‘cause I’m scarred. I don’t chase redemption, I don’t need applause, I protect what I love — pride reforged. [Verse 3 – Rap] I still hate losing, still grind my teeth, Still train like the past tryna hunt my sleep. But now when I fight, it ain’t to be feared, It’s to make damn sure my family’s still here. I don’t need a throne, don’t need my name praised, Let history judge me — I changed anyway. I’ll never erase what I did back then, I carry it forward and refuse to bend. If tomorrow comes bloody, I’ll meet it head-on, If peace ever breaks, I’ll stand till it’s gone. I was built by war, but I choose my role, Not a god… not a devil… just a man with control. [Final Hook – Rap] The clock hit zero, but I was already awake, I changed my life long before today’s date. No clean slate, just a stronger resolve, I don’t forget who I was — I evolve. [Outro – spoken, quiet] This is New Year’s Day. Not mercy. Discipline. Pride… reforged.
