Why Run, Matt?

(Verse 1)
They say, "Why run, Matt? What you hiding from?"
But they don’t know the wars I’ve fought, what I’ve become.
Arrested for nothing, just speaking my mind,
While liars and backstabbers wait on the sidelines.

They set traps and they smile when I take the bait,
Turn the tables on me, then pretend it’s fate.
But I’m not the villain in your made-up play,
I’ve spent too many nights locked away.

(Pre-Chorus)
You think I’m sensitive, can’t take the heat,
But you don’t see the blood on the street.
They want me silenced, want me gone,
But I’m still here, I’m holding on.

(Chorus)
I’m not running, I’m not hiding,
Just picking my fights, I’m surviving.
You can twist my words, call me out,
But I’m stronger now, and I’ll shout it loud.
I’m not breaking, not going down,
You can push me, but I’m still around.
I’m not running, no, I’m not gone,
Just standing tall, singing my song.

(Verse 2)
Danny takes my streams, turns them into chains,
AJ sends fake buyers, playing his games.
Knocks on my door, middle of the night,
Hoping that I’ll snap, that I’ll lose the fight.

And you call it “questions,” like you want the truth,
But you go to the ones who’d kill my youth.
If I give an inch, they take a mile,
Then smile in the dark, as they compile...

(Pre-Chorus)
Every clip, every word, every tear I’ve shed,
Trying to paint me as a monster in their heads.
But I won’t bow, and I won’t break,
‘Cause I’m not just here for the hits I take.

(Chorus)
I’m not running, I’m not hiding,
Just picking my fights, I’m surviving.
You can twist my words, call me out,
But I’m stronger now, and I’ll shout it loud.
I’m not breaking, not going down,
You can push me, but I’m still around.
I’m not running, no, I’m not gone,
Just standing tall, singing my song.

(Bridge)
So don’t ask why I don’t build bridges,
They burn ‘em before I take the first step.
And don’t ask why I don’t jump on panels,
When all they want is a new trap set.

Every time I speak, every time I breathe,
I’m standing up for more than just me.
You say I’m scared, but I’m not afraid,
Just tired of playing a rigged game they made.

(Chorus)
I’m not running, I’m not hiding,
Just picking my fights, I’m surviving.
You can twist my words, call me out,
But I’m stronger now, and I’ll shout it loud.
I’m not breaking, not going down,
You can push me, but I’m still around.
I’m not running, no, I’m not gone,
Just standing tall, singing my song.

(Outro)
So here I stand, still holding on,
I’m not running, I’m not gone.
You sway what I say, but I’ll prove you wrong—
Still here, still singing, still going strong.

I'm not running...
Just singing my song.
