Projector

[Verse 1] I’m the light on the wall, not the bulb in the socket A lens to your soul, where your true self is lockin’ They say, “What do you do?” I say, “I see what’s unspoken” A guide, not a leader—my purpose, unbroken I dig through the books, I trace every line Buildin’ a base where the truth can take root and climb A scholar by day, with a mind like a vault But the world’s my lab—tomorrow, I’m off [Pre-Chorus] 1/3, that’s the code written on my skin First the roots, then the risk—let the journey begin I don’t just collect, I dissect, I test, I try What’s the point of wisdom if it never takes flight? [Chorus] I’m a projector, seein’ you clearer than the stars A 1/3 soul, buildin’ castles then watchin’ ’em mar Solid foundation, then I burn it down to learn What breaks, what bends, what returns, what yearns I’m the quiet observer, but my work’s loud and bright A builder, a tester—this is my human design [Verse 2] Met a stranger today, their eyes held a map A gift they’d buried, scared it’d snap like a sap I said, “That fire in you? It ain’t just a spark Let it breathe, let it grow—you’re meant to leave a mark” They looked at me like I’d read their diary But that’s just the projector, seein’ what’s buried deeply Then I took my own advice, built a plan, made it tight Thought I had it all figured, then the wind took my kite Crash-landed hard, but I laughed through the sting “Now I know what don’t work,” and that’s wisdom, my king [Pre-Chorus] 1/3, that’s the code written on my skin First the roots, then the risk—let the journey begin I don’t just collect, I dissect, I test, I try What’s the point of wisdom if it never takes flight? [Chorus] I’m a projector, seein’ you clearer than the stars A 1/3 soul, buildin’ castles then watchin’ ’em mar Solid foundation, then I burn it down to learn What breaks, what bends, what returns, what yearns I’m the quiet observer, but my work’s loud and bright A builder, a tester—this is my human design [Bridge] They call me “too cautious,” then “too quick to let go” But 1/3’s a dance—hold on tight, then let the pieces unfold The book smarts, the scrapes, the “oops, I messed up” nights They all stitch together, make my soul shine bright I don’t need the spotlight, just a seat at your table To say, “I see you,” and watch you become unstoppable And when my own experiments crash and collide I dust off, rebuild—’cause that’s how the 1/3 thrives [Chorus] I’m a projector, seein’ you clearer than the stars A 1/3 soul, buildin’ castles then watchin’ ’em mar Solid foundation, then I burn it down to learn What breaks, what bends, what returns, what yearns I’m the quiet observer, but my work’s loud and bright A builder, a tester—this is my human design [Outro] So if you need a mirror, or a hand through the test I’m your projector, 1/3—doing what I do best Build, burn, learn, repeat, and see This is my design, and it’s perfect for me
