Thunder In My Tongue

[Intro]

Yeah—

I don’t chase the storm…

I walk in and become it.

[Verse 1]

I was born in the static, raised by the panic,

Heart made of granite, mind automatic,

They said, “Slow down,” but I’m breaking the planet,

Every syllable hits like a blade in the fabric.  

I’m a glitch in the system, a spark in the prison,

A kid with a vision they tried to diminish,

Now I’m back with a rhythm so rapid and vicious,

I turn every limit to ash in a minute.  

Click-clack, brain like a train on a bent track,

Ten stacks of pain in my backpack,

Setbacks? I collect that,

Turn scars into bars and I send back.  

I don’t need luck, I need oxygen,

Too many thoughts in my head doing boxing drills,

Cold as a winter in hospital corridors,

Still I deliver like God wrote the invoice bill.

[Pre-Chorus]

They told me I’m nothing—

Cool, I made nothing a kingdom.

They wanted me silent—

Now listen how loud I can breathe, son.

[Hook]

I got thunder in my tongue, lightning in my lungs,

I don’t run, I don’t run, I become what I want.

If the whole world falls, I’ma climb from the dust,

I got fire in my blood, I got thunder in my tongue.  

Oh-oh, say my name when the sky goes black,

Oh-oh, I don’t break, I attack right back.

I got thunder in my tongue, lightning in my lungs,

I don’t run, I don’t run, I become what I want.

[Verse 2]

Fast lane, black flame, migraine, insane,

Words hit hard like a fist through a glass pane,

Past pain, gas tank, matchstick, campaign,

Burn through doubt with a grin and a last name.  

Everybody wanna talk till the clock starts ticking,

Till the floor starts shaking and the walls start splitting,

I’m a raw nerve kicking in a locked-up kitchen,

Cooking up chaos with a hot pot hissing.  

No cape, no crown, just a pen and pressure,

No sleep, no peace, just a head full of lectures,

Old me died, I became my avenger,

New me walks like a natural disaster.  

I’m not here to be liked, I’m here to be lethal,

Here to wake up all the lost and the beaten,

Here with a voice for the kids in the deep end,

Screaming, “You’re not done breathing.”

[Bridge / Fast Flow]

I’m elevating, detonating, every cadence renovating,

Demonstrating dedication while the hesitation’s fading,

I’ve been breaking limitations, taking hatred, laminating

All the pages of the pain and turning rage to motivation.  

No vacation, only focus, I was hopeless, now ferocious,

They ignored it, now they quote it, I’m the storm before they know it,

Every moment that I’m owning is a monument exploding,

If I wrote it, then I lived it, if I spit it, then I showed it.

[Final Hook]

I got thunder in my tongue, lightning in my lungs,

I don’t run, I don’t run, I become what I want.

If the whole world falls, I’ma climb from the dust,

I got fire in my blood, I got thunder in my tongue.  

Oh-oh, say my name when the sky goes black,

Oh-oh, I don’t break, I attack right back.
I got thunder in my tongue, lightning in my lungs,

I don’t run, I don’t run, I become what I want.
