Paroles

[Verse 1]
I made my name on side B tracks
Bootleg dreams and basement stacks
I found my truth in static sound
Where rebels whispered underground

[Verse 2]
I taped the rage, I taped the love
From punk rock gods to stars above
I didn’t stream, I didn’t scroll
I rewound pain to feel it whole

[Pre-Chorus]
I was raised
By mixtapes
I was raised
By mixtapes
I was raised
By mixtapes

[Chorus]
Raised by mixtapes
Not by rules or fakes
I’m stitched in sound and scars
Built from broken bars
Raised by mixtapes
I’m the echo that remakes

[SOLO]

[Verse 3]
I passed the tape with shaky hands
To friends who lived in no-man’s lands
We didn’t talk, we didn’t cry
We let the music testify

[Verse 4]
I found myself in every chord
In every scream that wasn’t ignored
I’m not refined, I’m not elite
I’m the beat they couldn’t delete

[Pre-Chorus]
I was raised
By mixtapes
I was raised
By mixtapes
I was raised
By mixtapes

[Chorus]
Raised by mixtapes
Not by rules or fakes
I’m stitched in sound and scars
Built from broken bars
Raised by mixtapes
I’m the echo that remakes

[Verse 5]
I play my past on worn-out decks
The hiss, the skip, the raw effects
I’m not ashamed of how I grew
I’m proud of every tape I blew

[Pre-Chorus]
I was raised
By mixtapes
I was raised
By mixtapes
I was raised
By mixtapes

[Chorus]
Raised by mixtapes
Not by rules or fakes
I’m stitched in sound and scars
Built from broken bars
Raised by mixtapes
I’m the echo that remakes
