Steel Nerve

[Intro] They mistook restraint for weakness. That was their first mistake. [Verse 1] I don’t scream when the pressure caves in I map the cracks, I count the sin You hurl dirt, I stack skyscrapers You strike matches, I light the rafters They scribbled me as unhinged, unstable But I’ve held steady at the table Every rumor, every hollow threat Just stretched my shadow, made it set I don’t flinch when the walls start crumblin’ I don’t fold when the whole world’s fumblin’ Pain tried to carve me into something small But resilience became my name, my call [Pre-Chorus] Cold eyes cut through the static Warm heart beats automatic You pushed till my bones were bendin’ I sharpened till my edge was rendin’ [Chorus] Steel nerve, calm flame Pressure forges my name You aimed high — I aimed higher I don’t spark — I’m wildfire No chains, no fear I plant my boots right here You tried to drag me under the tide Now I move like thunder, I own the sky [Verse 2] I’ve weathered storms you’d drown in, gaspin’ Walked through fire without so much as a gasp in Every hit just tightened my focus Every lie stripped their whole facade of bogus You can’t cage what won’t be tamed You can’t shame what won’t be named I don’t chase revenge or empty pride I let silence amplify the tide [Bridge] I don’t need the crowd’s loud noise I don’t need their hollow applause I don’t need their flimsy approval To know what I was born to solve Forged in the dark where the shadows breed Tempered by flame till my soul was freed I don’t react to your petty game I own the board, I own the name [Chorus] Steel nerve, calm flame Pressure forges my name You aimed high — I aimed higher I don’t spark — I’m wildfire No chains, no fear I plant my boots right here You tried to drag me under the tide Now I move like thunder, I own the sky [Outro] Steel nerve, calm flame Pressure forges my name You aimed high — I aimed higher Now I rise — empire
