Lighter

Yeah, dust on the needle,

city in the snare No fairytale talk,

we were really there Came up where the hallway lights flicker Plans

got sharp when the nights got thicker I kept one eye on

the clock, one on the door Now I walk in,

make the whole room morph No borrowed shine,

every scar got a story Small circle,

big steps, no need for the glory They talk like thunder,

but the rain never came I put pressure on the beat till

it remembers my name

Tell ’em move when the bassline knocks

We don’t fold, we adjust the locks

If it’s real, let it rise,

let it show

Put your hands on the wheel,

let ’em know

Built from the break,

now we break through (break through) Dust on the shoes but the

steps brand new (brand new) Say less,

do more, let the whole room feel it If the door stays

shut, we don’t wait — we build it Built from the break,

now we break through (break through) No disguise,

no retreat, no substitute (none) When the beat drops low and the

lights go blue You can tell by the sound what we came

here to do

I learned poise from the pressure,

pace from the panic Turned a bad hand into something cinematic Never

needed permission, never waited on a favor Put the doubt in the

rearview, put the work in the paper My voice got weight,

every word got balance I don’t chase their approval,

I compound my talents If the room gets quiet,

I can hear opportunity Make a lane from the rubble,

make a win from the scrutiny

Tell ’em move when the bassline knocks

We don’t fold, we adjust the locks

If it’s real, let it rise,

let it show

Put your hands on the wheel,

let ’em know

Built from the break,

now we break through (break through) Dust on the shoes but the

steps brand new (brand new) Say less,

do more, let the whole room feel it If the door stays

shut, we don’t wait — we build it Built from the break,

now we break through (break through) No disguise,

no retreat, no substitute (none) When the beat drops low and the

lights go blue You can tell by the sound what we came

here to do

No handouts, no shortcuts No slowdown,

no fake love If it costs,

we pay up

If it cracks, we make up Both: From the basement

to the skyline view Same code,

same drive, same point of view

Built from the break,

now we break through (break through) Dust on the shoes but the

steps brand new (brand new) Say less,

do more, let the whole room feel it If the door stays

shut, we don’t wait — we build it Built from the break,

now we break through (break through) No disguise,

no retreat, no substitute (none) When the beat drops low and the

lights go blue You can tell by the sound what we came

here to do

Dust on the needle Fire in the groove Both: Built from the

break — watch us break through
