Said I didn't care about the numbers —man, that was a lie
Checking stats every morning right as I open my eye
Watch the charts, see the names, feel the fire inside
Counting every single stream, let the ego collide
Got a bitter taste in my mouth, yeah, I can't even hide
Comparing my moves to the next man’s rise
Yeah, I get frustrated, staring at the prize
Tired of being invisible while they get capitalized

But when I said "I just want you to hear it" that part was true
Straight from the chest, sent directly to you
Wanna drop this track, let it echo in your head
Both feelings coexist, yeah, it’s all in my head
Want the world to bump it, want your heart to feel it too
No mask, no filter, just the rawest residue
Two different flames, but they’re burning through
Consuming every single doubt until the sky turns blue

Said I ain't tryna make a living off of this rap
Not chasing a paycheck, not caught in that trap
But don't you ever dare think I'm playing with a toy
I don't make half-baked shit just to play noise
Every line is a bullet, every bar is legit
Never brought a weak vibe when I step in the pit
Carving out my identity, I refuse to submit
Bleeding on the microphone every time that I spit

We all choose our paths, priorities change
Life's got a rhythm that we all rearrange
Maybe this ain't my top, maybe not my main fight
Still I ignite the dynamite, setting fire to the night
But I poured my whole soul into this track tonight
No fake excuses, no holding shit back
Leaving zero hesitation, laying tracks on the track
This is my spirit —now go devour the track!

No one will for your life take responsibility
You should just do whatever you want
In pursuit of the radiance that lies beyond
If a night comes when you can’t believe in your dreams
Remember that initial impulse
I will never again doubt these fire feelings
