Yeah…
Funny thing about water…
It always shows what’s real…

I tried to outrun my reflection in the ripple of time,
But every wave brought the truth back alive.
I washed my hands in the city, tried to scrub out the pain,
But the water kept mirrors where I hoped it’d erase.
I’ve worn confidence loud just to quiet the doubt,
But silence got answers when the noise burnt out.
I ain’t proud of every night I survived—
But I respect who I became just to stay alive.

I don’t need applause for the wars I won,
Just proof that I’m still standin’ when the echoes gone…

The water never lies, it remembers my face,
Every truth I avoided still floated my way.
I been baptized by loss, baptized by time,
Washed in the truth I was scared to find.
The water never lies, and neither do I—
I don’t need to be clean to know I survived.

I made peace with the scars I used to explain,
Stopped blamin’ the storm, started trustin’ the rain.
I don’t beg for forgiveness—I earn my release,
By choosin’ growth when revenge feels sweet.
I let go of the weight I was flexin’ as pride,
Turns out humility feel stronger inside.
I ain’t perfect—but I’m honest now,
And that truth feel heavier than crowns.

I don’t need permission to stand in the light,
I already faced myself in the quiet…

The water never lies, it remembers my face,
Every truth I avoided still floated my way.
I been baptized by loss, baptized by time,
Washed in the truth I was scared to find.
The water never lies, and neither do I—
I don’t need to be clean to know I survived.

If redemption got a voice, it sound like peace,
Not loud… just honest… finally free.
I don’t rewrite my story to make it divine—
I just tell it straight… the water don’t lie…

The water never lies, and it carried me through,
Every dark reflection still led me to truth.
I don’t fear what I see when I look inside—
I faced myself… and I stayed alive.
The water never lies—let it wash what it can,
I don’t need a savior… I became the man.

Yeah…
Vice City baptized me…
But the truth kept me alive…
