“4:45 AM” — RAi Soulmusic
Verse 1
Alarm cuts the silence, 4:45 again
Dark outside the window, same road, same pain
Coffee in the kitchen, steam in the air
Lunchbox on the counter, work boots by the chair
I grab the tools of yesterday, step into the cold
Turning broken surfaces into lines of gold
Roller or the plaster, dust upon my hands
Building something stronger than anyone understands
Pre-Chorus
Back aches, heart wakes, still I carry on
Every wall I touch becomes a brand new dawn
Chorus
I’m the man who never stops, even when it’s hard
Painting dreams on concrete, leaving every scar
RAi Soulmusic playing while the long days flow
Repoxy rising from the dust below
We turn the old to new, yeah that’s what we do
Bringing light and rhythm just for you
Verse 2
Hours on the scaffold, shadows getting long
Thinking ‘bout the music, humming half a song
Bills keep calling louder, debts don’t sleep at night
But hope is like a spotlight burning through the fight
Clock out in the evening, drive back through the rain
Family in the doorway washing off the strain
Wood and epoxy waiting in the garage light
Tables like a river shining deep blue bright
Pre-Chorus
Hands tired, soul fired, rhythm in my chest
Every small creation brings me closer to my best
Chorus
I’m the man who never stops, even when it’s hard
Painting dreams on concrete, leaving every scar
RAi Soulmusic playing while the long days flow
Repoxy rising from the dust below
We turn the old to new, yeah that’s what we do
Bringing light and rhythm just for you
Bridge
From early morning coffee to midnight melodies
Between the noise of sanding lives a quiet peace
Not a hero in a movie, just a worker with a flame
Building walls and songs that carry my name
Final Chorus
Yeah I wake before the sunrise, chasing something true
Turning sweat to music, every beat feels new
RAi Soulmusic calling, can you hear the sound?
Repoxy dreams lifting people off the ground
From a tired man’s story, something strong grew
All the joy we made… we made for you
Outro
4:45 tomorrow, alarm will ring again
But every note we build makes the struggle worth the pain
RAi
