Stand On My Own

[Verse 1]
You said "forever", then you vanished in a weekend
Family throwing shade, calling that "just being decent"
Knife in my back, yeah, it came from the table
Same hands that blessed me, same ones that made me unstable
I was tryna save us, you was tryna save face
All of y’all in group chats, laughing at my pain
I was in the dark, scrolling through the fake love
Praying for a sign while you praying I don't wake up
[Chorus]
Heartbroken, but I stand on my own
Got hurt by the people I called "home"
Tears dried up, now my backbone grown
I was down bad, now I'm good alone (yeah)
Betrayed by the ones that I loved the most
Turned that cold shoulder to my only hope
Cut the loose ties, now I carry my soul
Heartbroken, but I stand on my own (stand on my own)
[Verse 2]
Had to learn the hard way, love come with receipts
Everybody loyal ’til the truth gets released
You ain't pick the phone up when I bled through the week
Now you see me healing, tryna circle back, please
Talking 'bout "I miss you", that was just a season
Funny how my glow-up turned into your reason
I was on the floor, now I’m walking like I meant it
Pain made me honest, the hurt turned to leverage (yeah)
[Chorus]
Heartbroken, but I stand on my own
Got hurt by the people I called "home"
Tears dried up, now my backbone grown
I was down bad, now I'm good alone (good alone)
Betrayed by the ones that I loved the most
Turned that cold shoulder to my only hope
Cut the loose ties, now I carry my soul
Heartbroken, but I stand on my own (on my own)
[Bridge]
Used to beg for a hand, now I grip my faith
Used to chase y’all love, now I set my pace
Every scar on my chest like a silver chain
Heavy but it shine when I walk through the rain (walk through the rain)
[Chorus]
Heartbroken, but I stand on my own
Got hurt by the people I called "home"
Tears dried up, now my backbone grown
I was down bad, now I'm good alone
Betrayed by the ones that I loved the most
Turned that cold shoulder to my only hope
Cut the loose ties, now I carry my soul
Heartbroken, but I stand on my own (yeah, I stand on my own)

rap, Melancholic trap rap, mid-tempo, with detuned keys and a distant vocal sample looping under crisp drums and deep bass. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, ad-libs tucked behind the lead for texture. Hook widens with layered male vocals, subtle choir pads, and a slight lift in the low end to feel triumphant by the final repeat.
