I Pay in Silence, Not Excuses

“I don’t raise my voice. I raise the cost.”

They talk loud, I keep score, Let ‘em knock — I own the door. Truth don’t shout, it just waits, And silence settles all debates.

I pay in silence, not excuses, Every word’s a debt I keep. You talk mercy, I talk balance, And both don’t come cheap.

You can plead your case in lies, But I see truth behind the eyes. Noise fades fast, but scars stay near, And I don’t trade pain for fear.

No sermons, no defense, Just payment made in consequence. If I owe you, you’ll just know — When the smoke decides to go.

I pay in silence, not excuses, That’s how power stays clean. Talk if you must — I don’t need dust Where I walk, I leave routine.
