Acts 26-27 READ https://shorehealing.com/f/when-the-system-is-crooked-and-you%E2%80%99re-tired [Lyrics] Yeah… 숨이 막혀도… keep goin’. For the ones walking into cold rooms… Let’s ride. Wake up tired, breathing thin — the day ain’t even begun Walk in the room, vibe drops — cold 빛이 없는 The system isn’t built for truth, it’s built for 살아남기, But not for your survival — that’s the quiet rival. If that’s you, you’re living in the gritty middle, Not the shiny stories, not the “괜찮아질 거야” riddles. This is where calling and corruption collide, Where you stand tall and power just shrugs to the side. 가슴이 답답해도, you’re not alone, 세상이 널 무시해도, God still knows. You’re not crazy — you’re called, you’re steady, Even in an unready room, stand ready. You walk in like you don’t belong — People with titles, 가식 put on. One word could fix it all, But they won’t, ’cause your truth cuts strong. You’re not stuck ’cause you failed — You shine too bright. Insecure hearts get cold When someone else walks in with light. Boss lies, leader blocks, Coworkers twist the vibe — Yeah, you’ve lived this chapter In real life. So don’t shrink — 작아지지 마, Don’t dim your fire to make the room feel whole. “This is who I am, this is what’s true,” 정체성 붙들어매 Hold your identity tighter than their view. Then someone snaps — “You’re out of your mind,” Old‑school gaslight, same tactic, new time. When insecure people can’t box you in, They try to rewrite who you’ve been. But you stay calm — 차분하게, 명확하게, “I’m not crazy — what I’m saying is true, it’s seen.” 사과하지 말고 Speak with clarity, not apology. Don’t expect a broken system to heal itself, Don’t wait for courage from someone else. They’re not confused — they’re invested, 너를 시험하는 구조에서 이득 보는 사람들 So take your case higher — 고장난 시스템이 스스로 고칠 거라 기대하지 마 But ’cause this level’s wired 계산 끝난 사람들 To keep you tired. 여긴 널 지치게 만들려고 짜여 있어 If it won’t change, you’ve gotta rise. You’re not perfect — you’re just sane, Tired, bruised, 상처 난 채, strained. But you stay yourself in the pain — Not flawless, just faithful, 네 성품을 바꾸게 두지 마. Don’t let their darkness rewrite your character. Then comes that line — hits too real: “You should’ve been seen… should’ve been free…” Could’ve been, Should’ve been, But wasn’t. Not ’cause you lacked integrity — But ’cause they lacked courage. If you’ve ever felt that ache — 너를 시험하는 구조에서 이득 보는 사람들 Message is clear: Their failure can’t cancel your calling. 그들은 널 막지못해 가슴이 답답해도, you’re not alone, 세상이 널 무시해도, God still knows. You’re not crazy — you’re called, you’re steady, Even in an unready room, stand ready. Storm hits — loud like thunder, A system that ignores wisdom goes under. 진실을 피하면 자연스러운 결말 Just the natural end of avoiding truth. Leaders lose control, Confidence folds, Expertise fails — And in the chaos, God lifts the one who listens. 하나님의 자녀 You become the calmest voice, The one they finally hear — Not ’cause you grabbed power, But ’cause God was near. Storms expose false leadership. Storms elevate the faithful. And you? Your identity’s still intact, Your future’s still open, Your calling’s still untouched. The storm won’t define you. The system won’t bury you. Injustice won’t get the final word. God will. Yeah… 끝까지 버텨. You’re not alone. #khiphop #christianhiphop #국힙
