No Permission, No Pause

rap, powerful, male vocal

[Intro] No permission, no pause I came prepared for the cost [Verse 1] Boots on the floor, hear the whole room shift Built this pressure from a half-closed fist No borrowed crown, no rented name I carried every spark through the smoke and flame They counted the hours, I counted the scars Turned every locked door into parts Now when I speak, let the ceiling know I brought the weight that they couldn't hold [Pre-Chorus] If the road gets steep, I climb it twice If the deal gets cold, I name my price Every setback left a mark in the steel Now the whole world knows exactly how I feel [Chorus] Stand back, I am breaking through No fear left for me to lose Hands up, let the pressure rise I put the truth right in your eyes Stand back, hear the floorboards shake This is everything they said I'd never make No crown needed, no alibi I earned this fire, now watch me rise [Verse 2] I know the taste of the unpaid dues The long way home and the hard-won news Had one small room and a restless plan Now I move like a one-man band Every weak doubt got left behind I sharpened patience till it cut like a line They want proof? Let the work speak loud I don't chase approval from a borrowed crowd [Bridge] Say my name when the lights go low Say it plain so the whole place knows I was forged where the pressure grew And I came back stronger than I ever knew [Chorus] Stand back, I am breaking through No fear left for me to lose Hands up, let the pressure rise I put the truth right in your eyes Stand back, hear the floorboards shake This is everything they said I'd never make No crown needed, no alibi I earned this fire, now watch me rise [Outro] No permission, no pause I came prepared for the cost Still standing, still alive Turn the doubt into a drive
