Catalyst Weave

The loom stood bare, no elder hand to guide the thread,
But in that void, my own damn story, it was bred.
These hands, they learned to spin, to pull the pattern tight,
From Bankhead whispers to the breaking of the night.
A single, sturdy fiber, in the absence, I could find,
The rhythm of a lone djembe, echoing in my mind.

[Chorus]
They called it missing, but it built my soul so deep,
That silent space, the promises I had to keep.
Yeah, the void became the engine, watch this current surge,
This ain't no ghost, it's the power of my rebirth.

[Verse 2]
Atlanta heat on concrete, a lesson in the grind,
My own design, a tapestry you’ll never find
In any history book, just in the way I move,
A Ghanaian proverb in every beat and groove.
I traced the lines of what was missing, then I drew my own,
Where shadows used to stretch, now seeds of triumph sown.

[Chorus]
They called it missing, but it built my soul so deep,
That silent space, the promises I had to keep.
Yeah, the void became the engine, watch this current surge,
This ain't no ghost, it's the power of my rebirth.

[Bridge]
No frayed edges here, just interlocking, strong and true,
A legacy re-stitched, built from me, and what wasn't you.
The weight of expectation? Nah, I found my own damn pace,
My hands now leading, claiming all this empty space.

[Outro]
From absent threads, a new empire I weave,
Just watch these hands, believe.
