Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Floor cold Back to the door in my room Phone off Got a note folded up by my shoes All black Been rehearsin' this ending for weeks Heart loud You could probably hear it out in the street Search bar glowin', I was lookin' up ways Like, "If I vanish, do they still say my name?" Told myself nobody cares anyway Then I pictured my mom tryin' to clean my stains Lil bro on the couch with the game on pause Checkin' his screen when I don't text back Best friend jokin' like "you ghostin' me?" He laugh But I know that joke turn flat [Chorus] I was one step off that edge One text away from gone But I heard my people call my name Like a choir in my phone I was right there, breakin' down Whole world sayin', "just let go" Then I saw my sister's face in my head And I couldn't do it to her soul [Verse 2] Mirror talk, eyes red like I've never slept Ask, "If you leave, who cleans up the mess?" Not the room The hole in they chest Empty chairs at the table where I used to sit Uncle still hurt from his brother last year Ain't smile right since, every laugh sound weird You gon' double that grief, make 'em carry that fear? Got me shakin' with the blade, lookin' back in the mirror I ain't say I'm okay, I ain't say I'm fine But I put that weapon down when I thought of they cries I can bleed on this page, I can scream on these rhymes Better this than my mother havin' to read my "goodbye" [Chorus] I was one step off that edge One call away from done But I heard my people in my chest Like a heartbeat holdin' on I was right there, breakin' down Whole world sayin', "just let go" Then I saw my homies stand in the crowd And I couldn't leave 'em in that cold [Bridge] If I go, who hold they hands? Who explain what I became? If I stay, it still hurts bad But at least they still can say my name So I'm breathin' in that pain (ugh) Exhalin' all that shame I ain't livin' just for me I'm survivin' for they names [Chorus] I was one step off that edge Both feet hangin' in the dark But I felt my family pull me back With the memory of their hearts I was right there, breakin' down Whole world sayin', "just let go" Then I heard my little brother laugh in my head And I chose to come back home

rap, Moody, introspective trap beat around 82 BPM; distant piano loop with subtle vinyl grit, deep sub-bass, crisp hats. Verses ride close and confessional, male vocals almost whispered at first then gaining grit. Hook opens with layered, slightly detuned harmonies and a lifted synth pad. Sparse ad-libs and drops underline key lines, final chorus pulls the energy up toward hard-won resilience.
