Smoke in My Lungs, Steel in My Spine

Ain’t here for mercy.

Smoke in my lungs, steel in my spine I don’t break easy — I just bend time Boots on concrete, echo like truth Every scar I wear was earned in youth

Didn’t cry loud. Didn’t beg twice. Learned real quick what silence costs in life. You call it cold — I call it trained. Pressure makes diamonds… or makes chains.

I don’t raise my voice — I raise the stakes You can test my will But something’s gonna break

Smoke in my lungs, steel in my spine I walk through fire like it’s part of the design No halo shining — no devil to blame I built this man from blood and flame You want a real one? Stand in line. Smoke in my lungs — Steel in my spine.

Steel… in my spine.

Bar lights flicker on a face like mine Half good decisions, half bad timing She said, “You’re hard.” I said, “I know.” Soft men talk — hard men show.

I don’t chase ghosts. I don’t chase fame. I don’t need saving from my own damn name. Midnight moves when the weak go home I stand alone — but I stand like stone.

You don’t survive this long Without learning how to burn

Smoke in my lungs, steel in my spine I walk through fire like it’s part of the design No halo shining — no devil to blame I built this man from blood and flame You want a real one? Stand in line. Smoke in my lungs — Steel in my spine.

I don’t preach. I don’t promise. I don’t fold. If the world goes soft — I get colder.

Smoke in my lungs, steel in my spine Still standing tall on a fault line Ain’t built for heaven — ain’t scared of hell I know myself — and I wear it well You want a real one? Cross that line. Smoke in my lungs — Steel in my spine.

Still standing.
