Lyrics
Intro: Ominous, Slow Build-Up
Born into struggle, baptized in the fire
Every scar that I carry’s a debt I acquire
Ain’t a cradle to rest, ain’t a savior to hire
Just the weight on my back and the will to climb higher
Hook:
No hands to lift me when I fell in the dark
No love was given, only lessons in scars
Built from the burden, now I'm welded in pain
No blood in these veins, only iron remains
Verse 1:
Woke up to echoes of hunger and static
Learned how to ration before mathematics
Countin’ the coins in the cracks of the fabric
Dreamin’ of days when the past ain't a habit
They cut off the water, they cut off the lights
Cut off emotions, we sharpened our knives
Love was a famine, survival was war
Wasn't a choice, it was part of the rites
They told me to pray but the echoes were hollow
Pledged to the struggle, no leaders to follow
Taught me the hustle, but skipped all the exits
Cooked up the dream but ain't sit for the breakfast
Fed ‘em when they had no food on their plates
Watched as they left me with nothin’ but weight
Lifted ‘em up when my spine nearly broke
Now they just watch while I drown in my fate
Hook: Haunting & Melodic
No hands to lift me when I fell in the dark
No love was given, only lessons in scars
Built from the burden, now I'm welded in pain
No blood in these veins, only iron remains
Verse 2:
Soma to slumber, amphetamines peak
Oxy to orchestrate chemical peace
Barbiturate haze while I levitate grief
Every pill is a contract, the cost ain't discrete
Doctor’s prescription, a signature grave
Buried my name with the ink on the page
Ghosts in my system, they whisper decay
Took what they gave, then it took me away
Watched as my future dissolved in a dose
Chasin’ a numb while it tightened the ropes
Said I’d escape if I learned how to cope
But nobody told me the high was a hoax
Fed my oppressors, they sat at my table
Watched ‘em ingest what I scraped from the cradle
Built ‘em a home and they tore off the labels
Now they send prayers, but they never say grace though
I was the tether, the chain, the provider
Now I'm the echo, the weight, the reminder
Burned every bridge just to light up the path
But they only return when they starvin' or trapped
Hook:
No hands to lift me when I fell in the dark
No love was given, only lessons in scars
Built from the burden, now I'm welded in pain
No blood in these veins, only iron remains
Verse 3:
They say slow down, let the system unwind
But the system designed just to leave me confined
If I let up an inch, if I pause or rewind
Then the cracks in the dam leave us all left behind
[First half: slow, heavy, deliberate, 808s throb, vocals deep, impactful pauses between bars for emotional weight]
Blueprints of wealth, ink drippin’ in strain
Got fortune in files, got debt in my veins
Success is a word that just echoes in chains
If the cycle don’t break then the struggle remains
[Final burst: double-time flow explosion—sharp & cutting, drums fully kick in, synths pulse with urgency, vocals aggressive but clear]
Man on
Born into struggle, baptized in the fire
Every scar that I carry’s a debt I acquire

No love was given, only lessons in scars
