When we Speak- (Zerorez/One's Own LIfe)

(Intro –One's Own Life) No shortcuts, no handouts Just long nights and locked jaws You either build something real… …or get buried by the ones who do (Verse 1 – One's Own LIfe) I started where nothing was meant to last (Where nothing was meant to last) People talk big but they fold up fast (Fold up faaaast) Every lesson hit hard, cut deep No safety net — just what you keep I watched who moved, who played pretend Who held their ground, who’d break and bend Stayed low, stayed sharp, played my part Built it piece by piece from the start No spotlight calling my name No crowd, no praise, no claim to fame While they chased noise — I stayed in place Now I move weight they can’t replace (Pre-Chorus – One's Own Life) Every loss taught me control Every hit made the vision whole I don’t need luck, I trust the plan I became what they don’t understand (Chorus – One's Own Life) We built this up from nothing real Turned hard truth into sharpened steel Step by step, we made it stick Now every move lands clean and quick No favours here, no easy road We carried every single load From the ground to something elite Now they watch when we speak (Verse 2 – Zerorez) Double O L locked in the code, we flipped the script without movin' a brick Now the old regime screamin' "who runnin' this?" — blind to the invisible clique I planted seeds in the soil years ago Watered in silence, let it grow through the fog Now the harvest heavy, every rival gettin’ dropped Cut clean when I move — no talk Cadence smooth but the pressure stay chronic They feel the shift but they don’t wanna call it Thought I stepped out — nah, I redesigned the whole system Now I press play and they fall in (Verse 3 – One's Own Life) I’ve seen them break under half this weight (Half this weiiight) Seen talent fade when they hesitate (Hesitaaate) They want the end but skip the climb Don’t see the work — don’t see the time I built connections that hold through strain Not built on words — but built through pain Every link tested, every chain If it snaps — it never remained No wasted moves, no hollow ties No fake respect, no borrowed highs If you stand here — you earned your space No passengers in this place (Pre-Chorus – One's Own Life) Now the line’s been clearly drawn You’re either in or you’re gone No more waiting, no more doubt We built the door — now we lock it out (Chorus – One's Own Life) (Verse 4 – Zerorez) See the slick part? I never left, just shifted lanes, now I’m movin’ different From the floor to the boardroom table, same mind, just new position Now they call me consultant — funny how power gets renamed Still got people movin’ silent when I speak — I don’t play the game Every quiet night I’m stackin’ something bigger than they can see They thought it ended — nah, I just changed the way I lead Game evolved when I stepped back Now I own the board, not just react Pull one move and the whole thing shifts That’s checkmate — no comeback from that BOOM! (bridge- One's Own Life) Look around — this didn’t appear Every inch cost blood and years No luck, no break, no perfect time Just pressure, focus, and a clear mind If you want in, prove your weight No one here relies on fate This isn’t hype, this isn’t luck We built it strong — it stays up (Final Chorus – One's Own Life) We built this up from nothing real Turned hard truth into sharpened steel Step by step, we made it stick Now every move lands clean and quick No favours here, no easy road We carried every single load From the ground to something elite Now they watch when we speak
