Cracked the concrete with my back teeth clenched
Held the whole room steady while the floorboards bent
They threw the cheap shots I just let em land
Counted every bruise like a five year plan
Told myself the quiet is the loudest flex
Staring at the ceiling fan connecting dots to necks
Breathing through the nose when the air turns thin
Thats the kind of shape you gotta suffer in
They want the outburst want the porcelain crash
I just let the anger cool and turn to ash
Poured the kerosene but never lit the flame
Crawled out the wreckage with a steady frame
The kind of cold that makes you speak less
The kind of hold that makes your knees press
Into the dirt til the roots take hold
Theres a different kind of strength when you lose control
Slow burning slow turning the page
Silent when they break me silent when they bend
This is the rebuild not the revenge
Silent when they wrote me off like a trend
Now watch me walk in like I never left
Silent when they break me silent when they bend
This is the rebuild not the revenge
Silent when they wrote me off like a trend
Now watch me walk in like I never left
Boxed up the trophies let the dust collect
Stopped explaining moves they would never get
Let em throw the shade while I sharpened blades
Made a fortress out the mess they made
Pushup in the kitchen at 4 AM
Steady getting bigger while they skipping gym
No announcements no parade no posts
Just the quiet hum of a thousand ghosts
I let the pressure turn the coal to weight
Stood alone and let the lonely calibrate
No applause when you level up in silence
But the silence hits harder than the violence
They thought the quiet was a sign I quit
But the whole time I was tightening the grip
The comeback started when I stopped chasing loud
Now the silence is the loudest in the crowd
Silent when they break me silent when they bend
This is the rebuild not the revenge
Silent when they wrote me off like a trend
Now watch me walk in like I never left
Silent when they break me silent when they bend
This is the rebuild not the revenge
Silent when they wrote me off like a trend
Now watch me walk in like I never left
The quiet built a monster they cant recognize
The low voice hits harder than the battle cries
They thought the quiet was a sign I quit
But the whole time I was tightening the grip
The comeback started when I stopped chasing loud
Now the silence is the loudest in the crowd
Silent when they break me silent when they bend
This is the rebuild not the revenge
Silent when they wrote me off like a trend
Now watch me walk in like I never left
Silent when they break me silent when they bend
This is the rebuild not the revenge
Silent when they wrote me off like a trend
Now watch me walk in like I never left
