Dante Titan - This Is My Battle 🎤 | #HipHop #jazzrap #empowerment

"From Kingston to the world: this song is my blood on the page. At 35, these dreads hold every battle I’ve fought since age ten – when they stole my innocence, I weaponized my words. That opening bar? ‘Since ten, been in the ring, swingin’’ – that’s Jamaica’s resilience in my bones. The jazz samples? That’s the soul crying beneath the struggle. When I spit *‘I need you to see me’*, it’s every dark-skinned brother screaming into the void. Gold rings on my fingers, varsity jacket on my back – symbols of how far I’ve dragged myself from the pit. This ain’t just hip-hop; it’s a war chant for the unseen. To every listener fighting silent wars: wear your scars like armor. Your battle is holy." - Dante Titan **Lyrics**: [Intro] Since ten, been in the ring, swingin' They took my innocence, I took their energy Now I pen these sentences with imagery [Verse 1] What's the world if not a bubble bath of sin? Used to play it humble, had to bask in wins Past and present struggling for space within Half my mental's on some "I just wanna take revenge" It's been ages since the age of ten I've been hated on, debated on, forsaken in the playpen When they took my innocence, I took their energy Now I hook these sentences and books with imagery Made a name off of my plight Used to think I was cursed 'cause of my birthright Then I learned it was my work, right Had to struggle, couldn't work lights Had to hustle in the first place For survival of the fittest and the worst case [Chorus] THIS IS MY BATTLE AND I'VE BEEN FIGHTIN' FOR MY LIFE I NEED YOU TO SEE ME I'M ON MY KNEES, BELIEVE ME [Verse 2] Everywhere I go, I'm the first place And every single time, it's a miracle This what they put you on the Earth for That's what I said to myself in my church clothes Then I stepped out, told the congregation "Look around, there's a whole lotta Satan" "Look around, whole lotta patients" I coulda let the Devil take me, but I didn't, and I'm sayin' [Bridge] Listen, I don't wanna be here no more I'm all cried out with nowhere to go Can you give me the feeling? I'm comin' back Just to let you know I will no longer play your games, no more I'm no longer the same, you won't Can't you see me? Can't you see me? Can't you see me? Can't you see me? [Chorus] THIS IS MY BATTLE AND I'VE BEEN FIGHTIN' FOR MY LIFE I NEED YOU TO SEE ME I'M ON MY KNEES, BELIEVE ME [Verse 3] Who am I? And why did God choose him? I guess I'm fine, even with the blues and the gruesome Just another black boy with a notebook In his little rap world, tryna grow roots Know it's all because of that world that I'm so true I put it all [Outro] This is my battle And I've been fightin' for my life I need you to see me I'm on my knees, believe me **Credits**: Written and produced by Pulsehubmusic Performed by Dante Titan 🗣️ **YOUR TURN**: 💬 "Which bar cut deepest?
