Lyrics
Verse
Move with the speed of a dream on the run,
Fire in my chest like a shot from the sun.
Angel on my path, but I’ve danced with hell,
Torn between heaven and a story to tell.
Smoke in the rearview, pain in my past,
Tattooed the struggle, yeah, the ink gonna last.
No cap, this ain’t just a hat I wear,
It’s a crown from the grind, and I built it with care.
Verse
Tapered my circle, cut loose the fake,
Only real ones around when the levees break.
They dance when you fall, but they freeze when you rise,
I just cash in the hate, turn it straight into prize.
They want the money, I want the throne,
While they chase clout, I carved my own zone.
Fire in my words, no gimmicks, no spell,
I walked through the flames and made peace with hell.
Verse
No brakes — I was born in the fast lane,
Speed so raw, leave smoke in the last frame.
Angel on my shoulder, whisperin’ stay true,
But the devil in the booth wanna see what I do.
Tattoo on my skin say “Earn every scar,”
From the bottom, now I’m shootin’ past every star.
No cap, got a dream I protect like a vault,
With a hat tilted low and a soul that won’t halt.
Chorus
I move with the speed of a dream on the run,
Fire in my chest like a shot from the sun.
Angel on my path, but I’ve danced with hell,
Torn between heaven and a story to tell.
Smoke in the rearview, pain in my past,
Tattooed the struggle, yeah, the ink gonna last.
No cap, this ain’t just a hat I wear,
It’s a crown from the grind, and I built it with care.
