Shadow Veins

A track written when songwriter D3cember was in a dark place. 

D3cember - Empty

verse:
You said, 
“Relax,”
While you filled my glass,
Your touch hit slow, 
Like fights that lasts.
You move like danger dressed in silk and calm,
I sip the truth till it burns my tongue.
You light your sins just to watch them fade,
Then swear your halo don’t throw shade.
You said, 
“You’ve changed,” 
I said, 
“Not much,”
Guess we both fiend for a toxic touch.
You said, 
“Baby, just one more taste,”
But you mix your love like it’s laced.
We both chase highs we can’t defend,
‘Cause heaven feels cheaper when it ends.

chorus:
I got a sweet tooth for pain
You drip it slow, 
It hits my veins 
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
Liquor love and dopamine
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
You drip it slow, it hits my veins
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
You drip it slow, it hits my veins
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
Liquor love and dopamine
I got a sweet tooth for pain
You drip it slow, it hits my veins 
I got a sweet tooth for pain 

verse2:
You pull me close like you own restraint,
Say, “One more round,” 
But you love complaint.
You lace your lies with a lover’s tone,
Then act confused when I don’t go home.
We crash slow, 
But it feels divine,
Both too proud to admit the line.
You said, 
“It’s love,” 
I said, 
“It’s not,”
It’s the best relief I ever got.
You said, 
“Baby, 
Just one more taste,”
But you mix your love like it’s laced.
We both chase highs we can’t defend,
‘Cause heaven feels cheaper when it ends.

chorus:
I got a sweet tooth for pain
You drip it slow, 
It hits my veins 
I got a sweet tooth for pain
Liquor love and dopamine 
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
You drip it slow, 
It hits my veins .
I got a sweet tooth for pain 

verse3:
Yeah…
It’s like every time I heal, 
She smell the peace on me,
Shows up drunk on history, 
Tryna feast on me.
Wants to turn my calm into company,
Then calls it closure just to comfort me.
I ain’t built for the on-and-off,
Love shouldn’t burn just to prove it’s soft.
She like liquor in disguise  
Goes down clean,
But the morning hits harder than it’s ever been.
She got timing like temptation’s twin,
Always call when I’m good again.
I keep tryin’ not to play that role,
But her voice pull me in like a preacher’s soul.
She want chaos, 
I want stillness,
She miss the man that loved her illness.
Now I’m prayin’ just to feel the rain,
Even pain feel quiet when it’s got her name.
Tried to cut ties but the thread too thin,
My peace don’t speak when she walks back in.
Every scar start talkin’ again,
Sayin’, 
“It’s love,” 
But it’s just my skin.
I don’t hate her  
I just hate the hold,
The way she smiles like it’s bought and sold.
Every night feel rented out,
Every promise made gets cancelled out.
We don’t argue, 
We just drain slow,
She pourin’ shots, 
I pour control.
She knows my silence too well to doubt,
One wrong word and I’m back in route.
It’s twisted  
She don’t want me clean,
She just hate it when she’s not seen.
She calls it love, 
I call it habit,
And both sound right, 
Dependin’ who’s askin’.
Been through hell but I sleep there fine,
Guess I found peace in losin’ time.
I could blame her, 
But I fed the spark,
Played with fire till it marked my heart.
Now I’m older, 
Still feel that ache,
Still taste truth in the lies I take.
She the drug that wears a wedding ring,
Promises high, 
Then forgets the sting.
I don’t chase it  
I just relapse slow,
It’s a war I’m wired to know.
Some people crave love, 
Some crave pain,
But some of us can’t tell it ain’t the same.
So I smile, 
Sip slow, 
Play my part,
Let the poison finish what it start.

chorus:
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
You drip it slow, 
It hits my veins
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
Liquor love and dopamine
I got a sweet tooth for pain 
You drip it slow, it hits my veins
I got a sweet tooth for pain

Sweet Tooth

What you mean by that?
When you say you care, but you fall right back
You say “forever,” then you fade to black
Yeah, I know what you mean by that
You say “it’s different,” it’s the same old act
Talk too smooth, I see the cracks
Don’t explain, I don’t attach
Yeah, I know what you mean by that

what you mean by that

"Faith Carries The Righteous 5.0" is a sonic and lyrical suite that maps conviction through rupture. It’s not about blind belief.
 it’s about the kind of faith that moves through contradiction, through silence, through geopolitical fracture, and still holds the line. The “righteous” here aren’t perfect; they’re those who walk with coded clarity, who carry ancestral weight, who flip editorial erasure into blueprint.
The lyric unfolds as a corridor with each verse a step deeper into the architecture of truth. 
This isn’t just a track. It’s a living archive. A reminder that faith isn’t passive; it’s active architecture. And the righteous? They carry it like voltage.

Love in Rewind

No mercy

The song is about God reassuring us that even when we feel tired, lost, or ready to give up on Him, He never gives up on us. It reminds us that God stays close through every mistake, storm, and moment of doubt. He holds us together, calls us back when we drift, and keeps loving us faithfully.

Pain pushes you

[Chorus]
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Came up from nothin', started hustlin' (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Came up from nothin', started hustlin' (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)

[Verse]
Bitch, it was me
Sheesh, I'm sippin' lean
Mixin' with the green
Niggas switched teams
I was too unique, too elite
They ain't know the heat, they ain't know the steam
Now they see it in HD
And they hatin' daily
They didn't want me to win, it's just me and my twins
They didn't want me to win, it's just me and my twins
Came up from nothin', started hustlin'
Now I'm buzzin', now I'm stuntin', now I'm flooded
Shit ain't funny, need my money, need my funds
I been runnin' from my demons
I been runnin' from my fears
I was runnin' for some years
I done shed a lot of tears
And the people closest to me didn't even see it
They ain't believe it
But I did, but I did
Shit, I'm lit, and I'm rich
Ain't this a bitch?
But this ain't no movie script, this real life
Sheesh, you just aight
You just okay, just alright
Bitch, you aight
Bitch, I'm better
Bitch, I'm lit
Sheesh
I had to get it out the mud
It was what it was
I had to get it out the mud
It was what it was
It was what it was
Had to get it out the mud
It was what it was
It was what it was

[Chorus]
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Came up from nothin', started hustlin' (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)
Came up from nothin', started hustlin' (Me)
Only one believed in me (Me), it was me (Me)

[Outro]
Bitch, it was me
Sheesh, I'm sippin' lean
Mix it with the green
Niggas switched teams
I was too unique, too elite
They ain't know the heat, they ain't know the steam
Now they see it in HD
And they hatin' daily
