**[Intro]**
Yeah
Heart cold, but the chain still froze
Came from the bottom where nobody knows
Ayy, ayy
Turn me up
**[Verse 1]**
Heartless, I don't got no love for a fake one
Started with crumbs, now I'm huntin' for a big run
Talk on my name, better stand on what you say, son
I was in the dark, had to grind until the day come
Back against the wall, I was built for the pressure
They wanted me down, now I'm doin' it better
Rain on my coat, still I walked through the weather
Cut a couple ties, now my circle stay together
I don't need applause, I remember they laughed
Now I'm hittin' that gas, ain't no foot on the brake
Every scar on my body got a story attached
Every loss that I took put some food on my plate
Heart cold, mind sharp, eyes open
Can't trust words when the promises broken
I was down bad, nobody noticed
Now they see motion, everybody focused
Nah, don't come around with that fake energy
You wasn't there when the nights tried ending me
Had to turn pain into fuel for the engine
Now when I step, whole room feel the tension
**[Hook]**
Heartless, heartless, yeah, that's what they call me
Built from the dirt, ain't nobody install me
Came through the fire, now the flames can't harm me
Whole squad eat, if I win, then we all feast
Heartless, heartless, I don't trust too easy
They switch sides every time that it's convenient
I kept grindin' when nobody believed me
Now I'm too far up, they can't reach me
**[Verse 2]**
Okay, back in my mode, I'm attackin' the beat
Got the hunger of somebody with nothin' to eat
I ain't beggin' for a chair, I'm bringin' my seat
Put my name in the concrete, ain't movin' my feet
Everybody tough when they typing online
Everybody real 'til it's testing time
I done seen day-ones turn into strangers
So I keep my distance, I'm protectin' mine
No handouts, built mine from scratch
Every setback made me come back mad
Had dreams in a room with a cracked-up glass
Now I'm kickin' every door that they said I can't pass
Too much fire, can't cool this down
Too much pride, can't lose this crown
I was overlooked, I'm the view right now
When the bass line hit, make the whole roof bounce
I'm heartless, maybe the world made me
Cold nights, hard times, couldn't break me
Fake smiles, fake love couldn't change me
Still ten toes when the road gets shaky
I don't chase people, I chase progression
Turn every failure into another lesson
They want the shine but avoid the pressure
I paid every price, now I'm countin' the blessings
**[Hook]**
Heartless, heartless, yeah, that's what they call me
Built from the dirt, ain't nobody install me
Came through the fire, now the flames can't harm me
Whole squad eat, if I win, then we all feast
Heartless, heartless, I don't trust too easy
They switch sides every time that it's convenient
I kept grindin' when nobody believed me
Now I'm too far up, they can't reach me
**[Verse 3]**
Look—
I got scars underneath this confidence
Had to learn patience, discipline, common sense
Used to want revenge, now success is the consequence
Every move calculated, ain't no accidents
I remember broke days, pockets on zero
Still walked outside like I knew I'm a hero
Had nobody comin' to save me, no rescue
So I became everything that I needed to get through
Now I'm locked in, tunnel vision
No sleep, I'm addicted to the mission
They keep talkin', I don't even listen
I'm too busy turnin' dreams into a living
Hard body, I was made for war
If one door shut, I'ma make one more
If they say I can't, that's what makes me sure
I'ma take what's mine, I ain't waitin' no more
I lost love, but I found my drive
Lost friends, but I found my pride
Been through hell, still came out alive
So don't tell me what I won't survive
Heartless ain't mean that my heart ain't there
It just mean I learned who deserves my care
I gave too much when the love wasn't fair
Now I move like a king, put the throne right there
**[Outro]**
Heartless—
That's what they call me
But they never saw the nights that made me
Never saw the pain that changed me
Never saw the weight that trained me
Came from the bottom, now I'm aiming above
I ain't heartless, I just ran outta trust
If you wasn't there when the road got rough
Don't show up now when the lights come up.
