REFLECTION

Intro (soft, melodic)

Yeah…

Funny how things change

I don’t even feel the same no more

Same face… different mind

⸻

Verse 1 (smooth rap)

I look back at who I was before

Didn’t think, just gave you more and more

Had my heart open, wide, no guard

Now I see I took it way too far

I was all in, never held it back

Now I move different, I don’t act like that

Still a part of me that misses it

But I know I needed this

I was giving more than I should give

Trying to be everything you needed me as

Now I see I lost myself in it

Trying to hold on to something that didn’t last

⸻

Pre-Chorus (melodic build)

It’s crazy how the pain turns into growth

Things I didn’t see, I see the most

I was losing me but didn’t know

Now I’m someone I can finally own

⸻

Chorus (melodic, strong hook)

What if I needed who I used to be

Just to become who I’m meant to be

I lost myself but I found my peace

Now I see it clear, it’s all in me

I miss the way I used to feel sometimes

But I don’t miss the way it cost my mind

Had to change, had to set me free

That old me made this version of me

⸻

Verse 2 (rap, more reflective)

I was giving everything I had

Didn’t even see it turning bad

Now I look back with a different view

See the signs that I never knew

I was chasing things that didn’t stay

Now I let it go, I don’t force the way

If it’s real, then it won’t need me

If it’s not, then it can’t keep me

Now I sit back and I take it in

Every loss turned into discipline

Every moment that I went through pain

Made me stronger, made me change

⸻

Bridge (melodic, emotional but calm)

I’m not angry, I just understand

Everything played out how it was planned

Even losing you had a reason

Turned my pain into believing

I don’t hate you, I just moved on

Different mindset that I move on

Everything that I went through

Made me who I am now

⸻

Chorus (repeat, stronger delivery)

What if I needed who I used to be

Just to become who I’m meant to be

I lost myself but I found my peace

Now I see it clear, it’s all in me

I miss the way I used to feel sometimes

But I don’t miss the way it cost my mind

Had to change, had to set me free

That old me made this version of me

⸻

Outro (soft, reflective, melodic fade)

Yeah…

I needed that version of me

To become this version of me

Now I finally see it clearly
