Dedicated to Blizzo.

For the nights that don’t end when the lights go out.

For everything you’re holding together without saying a word.

You’re stronger than what’s trying to break you.

You’re gonna be alright anyway.

Lyrics:

Grip on the wheel while the pavement keep warpin’

Course keep bendin’, you still keep it forward

Air get thin but you portion the portions

“Just exhaustion”… yeah right, you ignore it

Rooms feel colder, the clock don’t cooperate

Minutes don’t move, they just hover and oscillate

Talk get softer, you measure and modulate

Words cut clean, you thread ’em and operate

Hands stay busy, you steady the fragile

Balance the stack while you carry the actual

Weight that ain’t casual, strain that’s mechanical

Pain get practical, make it adaptable

Smile get practiced, posture professional

Questions get pressed, you keep it concessional

Keep it compressed, keep the stress in a decimal

Never confess it, just dress it “presentable”

Yeah, that’s ironic, you run it like therapy

Carry the heaviest, make it look featherweight

Call it “I’m fine” while you grind through the penalty

Fuck what they say, they ain’t felt what you mediate

You don’t say it out loud

You just carry it quiet

Hold it deep in your chest

Like it never get violent

Life get hard some days, I know that

Feel like everything drift off track

Even when it all ain’t okay

You still gon’ be alright anyway

Even when the sky lean sideways

Even when the light go gray

You been holdin’ more than they see

You still gon’ be alright anyway

Nights stretch longer, the hum get electrical

Silence go vertical, thoughts turn sectional

Cut to the bone but you stitch it symmetrical

Keep it together, composure impeccable

Breath get shallow, you ration the interval

Steps stay measured, the stress stay peripheral

World get heavy, but you stay original

Never go minimal, always intentional

Yeah, that’s the code, never fold under pressure

Holdin’ it close but it holdin’ you lesser

Stress in your chest but you flex like it’s lesser

Say “it’s whatever” but that shit get extra

Irony layered, you carry it daily

Sayin’ you straight when that shit get shaky

Fuck what they think, they don’t know what it take

To keep that calm when the calm get breakin’

You don’t break, you just bend

You don’t fold, you extend

Even when it don’t end

You just do it again

Life get hard some days, I know that

Feel like everything drift off track

Even when it all ain’t okay

You still gon’ be alright anyway

Even when the sky lean sideways

Even when the light go gray

You been holdin’ more than they see

You still gon’ be alright anyway

When the weight of the world get wrapped in your ribcage

Mind in a maze, every phase feel like a switchblade

Click when it hit, but you pivot, you reframe

Pain in the pen, let it vent, let it dissipate

Built from the burn, every turn was a trial run

Fire in your lungs but you learned how to dial one

Higher every time that you thought you was down done

Climb out the pit like your spine made of iron, son

Back bent heavy but the backbone titanium

Stackin’ every loss, turnin’ pain to a stadium

Standin’ in the storm while the calm feel alien

Still hold ground like your soul got a radius

So when it collapse and the map get erased quick

And your back feel snapped from the weight that you faced with

Remember every time you was down on some “this is it”

You still got up… you don’t quit… you just stay with it

You ain’t gotta say it…

I know.

You still here.

You still gon’ be alright anyway.
