Slamé Confrontation

[Intro] City fumes rise like rumors in the night Heart in a fist, eyes wide, lit with spite I step to the curb where the shadows bite Breath in sync with sirens flashing white [Verse 1] I’ve got a debt with the dawn, cashing in fear Crowd closes in, every gaze a sniper’s leer I spit truth raw, no sugar, no veneer Name my wounds loud, let the pain disappear [Pre-Chorus] Footsteps drum a rhythm of grit on concrete I weigh my worth in seconds, can’t concede The past is a creditor, I’m not for sale or beat I roar inside the silence, refuse to retreat [Chorus] Stand in the fire, I won’t bend, I won’t fold My resolve is iron, my story’s been told If you push me, I push back with a bold Rally in the alley, courage bought and sold [Verse 2] Trade of favors, respect earned under scarred skies I trace the line where danger and honor coincide I keep my breath even when the street tests my eyes Pulse loud as drums, I’m alive, I won’t slide [Pre-Chorus] Feet drum the street like a march of the brave Every bruise a badge, every memory a shield to save I barter fear for courage, I pave my own way Steady hands, I grip fate, I won’t betray [Chorus] Stand in the fire, I won’t bend, I won’t fold My resolve is iron, my story’s been told If you push me, I push back with a bold Rally in the alley, courage bought and sold [Bridge] Noise fades to a pulse, a single truth remains I’m more than the scars, I’m the choice that remains Confrontation ends where a new courage begins I walk through the glare, I rise, I’ll defend [Chorus] Stand in the fire, I won’t bend, I won’t fold My resolve is iron, my story’s been told If you push me, I push back with a bold Rally in the alley, courage bought and sold [Outro] Lights blink out, the street exhales my name I move, I rise, I claim what’s mine again No surrender, just the echo of a flame I’m here, I’m grit, I’m rise through the pain
