Chained

I done learned that success don’t erase regret

Seen rich men still chained to the pain they kept

Devil say “you made it, you can play the set”

But that voice disappear when the night get left

 

I don’t move for applause or the crowd reaction

Seen too many lose they soul for the right distraction

Every win hollow if you lack the passion

I’d rather slow cook truth than a fast attraction

 

I be talkin’ to myself when the lights go dim

Ask “who you tryna be when the hype grow thin?”

Devil say “they doubt you, go and spite them then”

But revenge ain’t peace, it just fight again

 

So I choose the long road, let my flaws be known

Rather honest with my scars than a false-ass throne

Devil whisper still there, but I’m not alone

I let purpose talk back, now my path feel home
