[Intro]
I didn’t rise from peace — I rose from cold nights and burnt trust
From being laughed at when I dreamed, from the world tellin’ me I was dust
They don’t understand — this hunger ain’t fashion, it’s survival
I ain’t polished, I ain’t gentle — I’m the storm before revival

[Verse 1]
I came from metal doors slammin’, police lights shinin’ through sheets
Had ambition in my chest when all I had was nothin’ to eat
They counted me out before I even saw what life could be
But I kept swingin’ in the shadows — fightin’ fate they couldn’t see
Turned my bruises into lessons, turned that pain into my tool
Never followed any blueprint — I made war my only school
While they laughed at my beginnings — I was carving out my throne
I ain’t fake, I ain’t pretend — I built an empire of my own

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t do this for applause — I do this ‘cause breath ain’t free
Every second is a debt — and I refuse to pay it weak
They see confidence — but they don’t see the nights I almost died
I ain’t lucky — I’m relentless — pressure made me weaponize

[Chorus]
I’m something we would call savage — I was born from loss and pain
I turned every single no into a crown that spells my name
You can’t shake me, can’t erase me — I got fire in every vein
I don’t bend to people’s mercy — I make destiny my game
I’m something we would call savage — ain’t no fear inside my stance
I don’t beg for validation — I just make the world advance

[Verse 2]
You ain’t seen the shit I swallowed just to smile in front of crowds
Ached with failure in my lungs but still I promised, I’ll be proud
They once treated me like garbage — now my value’s worth a stage
Funny how the quiet rejects turn to legends out of rage
I ain’t trying to be your hero — I ain’t preaching holy grace
I’m just living what I bled for — they gon’ feel me in this place
I’m the chapter they don’t teach — the proof that hunger breaks the chains
You can polish up a story — but you can’t rewrite the pain

[Bridge]
I don’t fear bein’ hated — fear is dying as a ghost
I made peace with being different — that’s what legends cherish most
This is more than rap or riches — this is purpose in my drive
I don’t rap for now — I rap so my bloodline learns to rise

[Chorus]
I’m something we would call savage — I was born from loss and pain
I turned every single no into a crown that spells my name
You can’t shake me, can’t erase me — I got fire in every vein
I don’t bend to people’s mercy — I make destiny my game
I’m something we would call savage — ain’t no fear inside my stance
I don’t beg for validation — I just make the world advance

[Outro]
If I die tonight — let it echo in the streets where I began
That I wasn’t made by comfort — I was built by my own hands
I ain’t perfect — I’m a product of a war I had to manage
I ain’t human — I’m a statement, yeah…
I’m something we would call savage.

I’m Something We Would Call Savage
