Proof still shows when the lights go off
When nobody’s watching, nobody calls
I don’t need the moment to say it worked
Proof still shows

Proof still shows in the long run back
In the days that blur, in the years that stack
If I’m still here doing what I chose
Proof still shows

I been past the phase where I overexplain
If it didn’t last, it don’t need my name
They need witnesses, I need time
Different scorecards, different lines
I don’t flex what faded quick
I trust what stayed consistent
Every quiet rep I logged
Left fingerprints on the fog

Proof still shows when the lights go off
When nobody’s watching, nobody calls
I don’t need the moment to say it worked
Proof still shows

Trip through doubt, still intact
Same direction, new impact
They announce wins, I let ‘em age
If it’s real, it don’t decay
I don’t rush results for the feed
I let outcomes speak to me
By the time they ask “how’d you do it?”
It been done

Time tells
If you listen

Proof still shows when the lights go off
When nobody’s watching, nobody calls
I don’t need the moment to say it worked
Proof still shows

Some things don’t look like progress
Till you stop looking every day

Stay with it
Let it age
Let it say what it says

I don’t argue outcomes anymore
I just check if I’m aligned
If the work still feel like mine
That’s a win they can’t redefine
I been measured by endurance
Not applause or early praise
If it still standing years from now
That’s the loudest thing it says

Proof still shows when the lights go off
When nobody’s watching, nobody calls
I don’t need the moment to say it worked
Proof still shows

Proof still shows in the long run back
In the days that blur, in the years that stack
If I’m still here doing what I chose
Proof still shows

Time told.
