Rebuild

Midnight rain on the boulevard
Streetlights smear on wet cement
I breathe slow, keep it calm
Even when the city bends

Every time it breaks, I rebuild
World so split, it feels unreal
For my people, soft or steel
Squad stays ready, eyes concealed
I'm deep in red, still keep it sealed
Every time it breaks, I rebuild

I learned restraint where tempers spike
Polite tone, heavy undertow
They smile first, then kill the light
I clock the room, then I go
Paper trails and parking decks
Cold trains, late calls, no sleep
I don't brag, I just collect
Promises I plan to keep
Headlights drag across the glass
Tail-lights stain the rain-soaked road
If it cracks, I stitch it fast
If they doubt, I keep my code
I don't chase, I set the price
Quiet moves, loud inside
Shopfront glow, a watchful night
Wet asphalt mirrors my stride

They want a reaction—won't give one
They want the fall—won't slip none
I talk clean, but the math's harsh
Same code, different scars

Every time it breaks, I rebuild
World so split, it feels unreal
For my people, soft or steel
Squad stays ready, eyes concealed
I'm deep in red, still keep it sealed
Every time it breaks, I rebuild

Born in pressure, raised on "wait"
Taught my hands to hold steady
Faith in steps, not in debate
I read signs when streets get heavy
Subway tubes with tired white
Flicker hints I won't ignore
Roots run deep, miles on my name
Red, black, green in the rearview
Mirage city plays its game
I stay real, never see-through
No throne talk, just long work
No pity looks, no fake cheers
I'm the calm in the loud hurt
Turning losses into gears
Billboards hum above the lane
Promises in perfect print
I let them pass like weathered rain
I keep the parts that won't get bent

If the world draws lines, I walk between
Keep my manners, keep my mind
I won't rot where the hate has been
I'm built for the rebuild grind

Streetlights fade, but I don't
Storms pass, but I don't
Every time it breaks
I rebuild
