Mm

I stepped back, they called it folding
I call that knowing
When to hold ground, when to go around
When a door ain’t worth the closing
I don’t argue with a ceiling
If it’s lower than my breathing
Some fights cost more than pride
Some exits feel like leading

I ain’t run
I just re-aimed

Didn’t call it quitting
I called it clear
Didn’t lose the vision
I just moved it here
If it don’t fit my name
I don’t force that frame
Didn’t call it quitting
I changed the game

Seen folks stay just to save face
Fade slow in the same place
I’d rather pivot in daylight
Than dim down for safe praise
I don’t break loud
I recalibrate
Shift weight, stay straight
Let time validate

Didn’t call it quitting
(never that)
I called it clear
(yeah, I’m here)
Didn’t lose the vision
I just moved it here
If it don’t fit my name
I don’t force that frame
Didn’t call it quitting
I changed the game

You said I folded
I say I chose it
You see a setback
I see the moment

Didn’t call it quitting
No, I stood still
Let the dust keep spinning
While I climbed that hill
If it don’t fit my name
I don’t wear that weight
Didn’t call it quitting
I recalibrate

Clear ain’t weak.
