Loaded Keystone

[Verse 1]
This ain't no loose dust, no speck I can flick away,
This is the concrete shard, built into my frame from yesterday.
From cracked sidewalks, where the sun bakes deep the stone,
Every judgment, every whisper, made this cornerstone my own.

[Chorus]
They call it a chip, I call it a loaded keystone,
The heavy truth, from where my power's grown.
It's the anchor to my roots, a silent, defiant moan,
This weight I carry, carved into my bone.

[Verse 2]
Remember 'Abuela's hands, peeling mangos, skin thin as a sigh,
Unseen labor, built on pride, beneath a Miami sky.
I felt the tension in the timber, in the old bodega's beams,
Those unspoken stories, fuel my most ambitious dreams.
This foundation ain't just concrete, it's the ghosts of what we earned,
Every hard lesson learned, every bridge we burned.

[Chorus]
They call it a chip, I call it a loaded keystone,
The heavy truth, from where my power's grown.
It's the anchor to my roots, a silent, defiant moan,
This weight I carry, carved into my bone.

[Bridge]
They want me to smooth it, patch the plaster, make the edges clean,
But this jagged piece, it's the sharpest thing they've seen.
A structural flaw? Nah, it's the very pillar of my stand,
The blueprint's imperfection, forged by this hard land.

[Outro]
So let the shadows stretch, let the critics talk their fill,
This chip ain't going nowhere, standing firm and still.
