This cipher rap × reggae-inflected suite is a defiant reclamation of identity beyond imposed narratives. The speaker rejects sanitized portrayals, academic extractions, and institutional framing—asserting a self that is coded, ancestral, and unredacted. Each verse exposes the tension between survival and expression, while rhythm becomes both breath and sabotage. The hook repeats like a mantra: “Unscanned, unclaimed, unclean / Still standing, still unseen.”
The lyric honours lineage, resists erasure, and speaks directly to those who understand the cipher—those who “walk the fire, not the road.” It’s not just a personal declaration; it’s a coded oath of self-authorship.
