Eine Abrechnung mit denen, die aus fremdem Schmerz Second-Hand-Ruhm machen und verschwinden, sobald es hart wird. Von Grund auf selbst gebaut: Lovers love and haters decay.
Yeah, I got this pressure in my chest like it owns the space
Tellin' me I'm broken, sayin' I'm out of place
Tellin' me to quit before the cracks all spread
But I've been pushin' through the weight that wants me dead
"Why you so intense? Why your lyrics so heavy?"
Why you always diggin' where it hits too steady?
I don't need your lectures, and I don't need your concern
I just need a second for my pulse to return
I'm tired of people actin' like they lived my whole story
Turnin' all my pain into second-hand glory
Stackin' up opinions like they know my destination
But even on empty, I rise from repetition
You can take your doubts and toss 'em where they belong
Try to paint me wrong, but you still sing along
Try to steer my steps like you control the roads I take,
But I rebuilt every mile, and you can't shake what you didn't make
They gon' lift you, then they drop
They gon' cheer you 'til they stop
They gon' talk like they on top
But every word is just a prop
When the smoke fades from the stage
Ain't nobody turn your page
Let the noise just drift away
'Cause lovers love and haters decay
Yeah, anxiety tight like wire pulled to the limit
I been beggin' for a moment just to feel like I'm in it
People smile in my face then they switch when I pivot
I learned trust is just a language most don't live in
This part of me? Yeah, nobody wanna know
They only show up when I bleed into a flow
Pickin' at me, diggin' at what's buried down below
But vanish when I'm quiet, loyalty comes and goes
I built this from nothin', piece after piece
No label, no crew, just a mind off the leash
Every skill I got, yeah, I carved that niche
You hate me 'cause I'm livin' what you'll never reach
And someday when I'm standin' on a mountain made of wins
You'll still be in the alleys throwin' stones to pull me in
But I ain't sinkin' with the bitterness you spin
You hate me 'cause I'm livin' what you know you won't begin
They gon' lift you, then they drop
They gon' cheer you 'til they stop
They gon' talk like they on top
But every word is just a prop
When the smoke fades from the stage
Ain't nobody turn your page
Let the noise just drift away
'Cause lovers love and haters decay
