NEW MAN RAP CR 2026

Verse 1 My good outweighs my evil AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT i TELL MYSELF. REALLY Not by much, but enough TO DEAL WITH THE CARDS i'VE BEEN DELT. I walk WITH AN ANGRY STEP THOUGH I don’t carry as many weapons any more — I’m still learning how to put them down. It may take some time for that so choose wisely before you put on your tough guy hat Verse 2 There was a time I wanted the world to burn just so it could feel me. So it could see what it HAD made. But the WILD fire got in my lungs. And that kind of breathing — that kind of living — it costs more than it pays. And I'm tired of working for such a very low wage Chorus I’m not THE MAN I was. But don't let that confuse you But he’s still in here somewhere, watching from the back of the room. And when you choose to cross me, you won't meet the man I am — you'll wake the one I'm trying to bury and That storm you feel now? well You brought THAT weather ON YOURSELF. Verse 3 I don’t want revenge But I won’t lie and say I’ve forgotten. I’ve just learned the difference between now and then. My choice is now but just remember then hurt plenty of men. it’s a choice I make each day, not some angel's halo they're just giving away. Bridge Some men get softer with time. I just got quieter in my mind i'm Still sharp around the edges, just less eager to cut. and that's one of my pledges Final Chorus / Outro If you find me in the twilight — know that I've earned this path towards calm. remember It wasn’t just given to me It was carved from a life of grief and pain. So if you think my stillness means some sort of weakness, just try stepping forward trust me you've got nothing to gain. sit back and just watch watch what I choose not to do.
