Loudest man in the room

Loudest man in the room lyrics

Intro

I move like a sealed file

Verse 1

I don’t spend words twice
Every room got a leak
Mine stay buttoned up tight
Like cash in the seat

They want heat in the tone
I bring frost in the face
One hand on the board
One eye on the rate

The loudest man in the room
Usually broke first
Talking big in the trench
Means the footing ain’t firm

I sign with the calm
No tremor in the hand
War map in my head
While I’m crossing the land

Pre-Chorus

I keep it low
Let the numbers speak
I don’t flinch
That’s the difference we see

A king don’t beg
A rook don’t cry
If the line feels tense
I just tighten the tie

Chorus

the loudest man in the room usually broke first
the loudest man in the room usually broke first
Quiet wins here
Quiet takes first

the loudest man in the room usually broke first
the loudest man in the room usually broke first
I move in silence
Then I collect first

Verse 2

Boardroom eyes, no smile
I read every angle
They sell noise for gold
I buy the whole channel

Legacy on the table
Not a moment for show
What looks like cold blood
Is just self-control

I’ve seen men talk rich
Then fold on a dime
Same mouth that was thunder
Couldn’t carry the time

I learned that lesson young
From the burn and the wait
If you need to be loud
You already came late

Pre-Chorus

I keep it low
Let the numbers speak
I don’t flinch
That’s the difference we see

A king don’t beg
A rook don’t cry
If the line feels tense
I just tighten the tie

Chorus

the loudest man in the room usually broke first
the loudest man in the room usually broke first
Quiet wins here
Quiet takes first

the loudest man in the room usually broke first
the loudest man in the room usually broke first
I move in silence
Then I collect first

Bridge

No drama in my face
That’s a costly habit
I turn pressure to profit
Like a well-placed tactic

Steel in the spine
Ice in the plan
When the dust finally settles
I’m still standing there, man

the loudest man in the room usually broke first
the loudest man in the room usually broke first
Quiet wins here
Quiet takes first

the loudest man in the room usually broke first
the loudest man in the room usually broke first
I move in silence
Then I collect first
