I walk with echoes, past ain't silent
Footsteps are loud in a world so violent
Puzzle piece soul, never fit the frame
Built my own box, now I play my game
Raised on dreams that were half denied
Still I rise, like the tide I ride
Truth in my chest, can't mute this beat
March through fire, still feel my feet
(Hook)
Echoes in my steps, I don’t forget
Every scar’s a line in my silhouette
I’m the voice they tried to hush
Now I speak with a rebel’s rush
(Verse 2)
City lights flicker like hopes on edge
I spit verses from the broken ledge
Every rhyme’s a brick in my own escape
From chains they forged, I reshape my fate
No script written for a soul like mine
So I freestyle life, line by line
Defiant heart with a poet’s pen
I lose, I learn, then I rise again
(Hook)
Echoes in my steps, I don’t forget
Every scar’s a line in my silhouette
I’m the voice they tried to hush
Now I speak with a rebel’s rush
(verse3)
They think they can beat me, but I’m built from storms
Lightning in my veins, I rewrite the norms
Tried to box me in, I broke the mold
Turned pressure to diamonds, now watch me unfold
I’m the echo of every voice they tried to mute
Truth in my bars, too raw to dilute
They throw shade, I grow in the dark
Every setback fuels my spark
