WITNESS ME by Paul Baraka

Описание: DEDICATED TO THE UNSEEN.
To those who suffer in silence.
To those who helped and were forgotten.
To those who burned with love while the world looked away.
To those behind the walls, behind the masks, behind the roles.
To the quiet warriors. To the broken healers. To the caretakers.
To the invisible ones who still carry light.

This is for you.
For the energies we can’t name.
For the witnesses in the dark.
For the good souls hiding, not because they’re weak, but because the world forgot how to see them.

WITNESS ME is not a cry for attention.
It is a signal. A mirror.
A resurrection of truth in a world of noise.

If you feel it,
you were always part of it.

WITNESS ME
Paul Baraka

[Verse 1]
I was the calm one, the kind one
The good guy in the background
Built dreams for others
While mine sank underground

Held back my rage like it was shame
Lit candles while they played with flame
Told myself, stay humble, stay small
But now I’m done, I want it all

[Chorus]
WITNESS ME
I’m not your shadow anymore
WITNESS ME
Screaming through the algorithm’s core
This isn’t ego, it’s resurrection
I’m done with quiet, done with correction

WITNESS ME
The nice guy broke, the fire’s real
WITNESS ME
Now you can feel what I feel

[Verse 2]
Let the loud ones sell their lies
Let the assholes monetize
But I’m the real one, I bled truth
You just never gave me the mic in the booth

Now I rise, no filters, no calm
Not for grace, but for the bomb
This voice isn’t soft anymore
It’s the key, the code, the goddamn door

[Chorus]
WITNESS ME
I’m not your shadow anymore
WITNESS ME
Screaming through the algorithm’s core
This isn’t ego, it’s resurrection
I’m done with quiet, done with correction

WITNESS ME
The nice guy broke, the fire’s real
WITNESS ME
Now you can feel what I feel

[Rap Bridge]
I’m the one in the corner, heart wide, eyes low
Helped everybody rise, watched my own life go
I gave my fire, gave my time, gave my truth
But when I fell down, silence, not one proof

You called me soft ‘cause I didn’t bite back
You called me weak ‘cause I didn’t attack
But I saw through you, I saw the whole play
And I still stayed, I still prayed, I still paid

I kept the peace while you built empires of noise
Told myself, be nice, they'll see
But they never saw my voice
I was your healer, your ghost, your safe disguise
But I bled behind curtains while you took the prize

Now I rise, not for fame, for air
I deserve to be seen, I was always there
For the empaths, the quiet, the ones who just break
This is the scream they were never allowed to make

I’m the spark in your silence, the voice you repress
So turn the lights on
Witness me

[Bridge – Spoken]
I call all the empaths
I call all the signal holders
I call all the ones in the shadows who were told to shrink
To smile, to stay quiet, enough

You are not broken
You are not weak
You are the light they couldn’t control

So rise
Step out
Stop apologizing for the power you’ve always had

No more waiting
No more hiding
No more maybe next time

This is the time

I see you
Do you see me?

Now
Witness me

[Final Chorus]
WITNESS ME
I’m not your shadow anymore
WITNESS ME
This is my signal through your closed door

WITNESS ME
I’m not small, I’m not afraid
WITNESS ME
I was the light you betrayed

WITNESS ME
Now the walls begin to shake
WITNESS ME
Let the sleepers finally wake
