lirik lagu $m.a.r.c. - "the 16th bar
[hook/chorus]
this is it, the manifesto, the sixteen bars
this is how you calculate the odds, how you dodge the stars
i’m not aiming for a crib, i’m aiming for the cosmos
sixteen years of hunger, the flow is overdose
the pen is my sword, the paper is the war path
every verse is a lesson, you just dealing with the aftermath
[verse 1]
i stepped out the shadows where the block was all that mattered
sixteen cycles around the sun, every window shattered
by the sirens, by the trauma, by thе sound of the crack game
now i’m tryna shift the trauma, usе my voice to attract fame
but it’s deeper than the bling, deeper than the bottle~poppin’
they pushin’ me for singles, i’m in the lab, never stoppin’
’cause the game ain’t built on flash, it’s built on foundation
i studied the greats, from kool g to the roc nation
they only wanna hear the hook, the repetitive mantra
but i got a soul to feed, like the black panther
of this mic—yeah, i’m fightin’ for the right to be lyrical
to prove the youngest in the room can still be a miracle
[hook/chorus]
this is it, the manifesto, the sixteen bars
this is how you calculate the odds, how you dodge the stars
i’m not aiming for a crib, i’m aiming for the cosmos
sixteen years of hunger, the flow is overdose
the pen is my sword, the paper is the war path
every verse is a lesson, you just dealing with the aftermath
[verse 2]
they call it sixteen, but every single line is vital
from the moment i was born, i knew this was my title
see the older heads watchin’, waiting for me to slip
hoping that my age means a flaw on my script
but i wrote my first verse when i was eight in a notebook
about the struggle, the hustle, the things i mistook
for glamour—it ain’t glamorous, it’s grit and dedication
i’m tryna put my family and my whole city on vacation
i’m the middle ground, the bridge between the old and the new flow
i got the soul~sample thump, but the rhythm is ruthless, you know?
if the 16th bar is where you usually drop the punchline
then this whole track is the punch, i’m ahead of my runtime
[bridge]
yeah. they say stay in your lane, but i bought the whole highway
i ain’t just passing through, this is my reign, my way
you wanna know what the pressure feels like?
it feels like the album drops tonight
[hook/chorus]
this is it, the manifesto, the sixteen bars
this is how you calculate the odds, how you dodge the stars
i’m not aiming for a crib, i’m aiming for the cosmos
sixteen years of hunger, the flow is overdose
the pen is my sword, the paper is the war path
every verse is a lesson, you just dealing with the aftermath
