[Verse 1] [M] I woke up heavy [F] Same old weight on my chest [M] Looked in the mirror [F] I said, "Bro, you still blessed" [M] Some days I move slow [F] Like my shoes in the mud [M] But I keep my name on [F] Even when I feel numb [M] Mama said, breathe now [F] So I took that in [M] One step, then another [F] I can live again [Pre-Chorus] [M] If I fall, you catch me [F] If you fall, I stay [M] We don't need perfect [F] We just need today [M] Little by little [F] We climb out the gray [M] Say it with me now [F] We gon' find our way [Chorus] [M] Not today, not today [F] We still here, we still stay [M] Not today, not today [F] Dark turns, but it fades [M] Hold my hand, hold my hand [F] We can make it through the rain [M] Not today, not today [F] We gon' rise from the pain (rise from the pain) [Verse 2] [F] I had nights in my room [M] Where the ceiling talked back [F] Heart on empty [M] And my thoughts ran tracks [F] Tried to drown in the hours [M] Tried to fake that grin [F] But your voice hit the doorframe [M] Said, "Let me in" [F] We don't heal in a hurry [M] We heal in the wave [F] Some days are a battle [M] Some days feel brave [F] Still I lace up my hope [M] Still I show up clean [F] Even if I tremble [M] I'm more than what I seen [Bridge] [M] If you can't find your light [F] I will be the spark [M] If my hands shake hard [F] You can borrow my heart [M] We don't have to shine [F] We just have to start [M] One breath, one beat [F] One step in the dark [Chorus] [M] Not today, not today [F] We still here, we still stay [M] Not today, not today [F] Dark turns, but it fades [M] Hold my hand, hold my hand [F] We can make it through the rain [M] Not today, not today [F] We gon' rise from the pain (rise from the pain)

Rap-R&B duet with mid-tempo swung drums, piano-led verses and a heavy bass pulse that lands on the downbeat; verse one rides tight rap phrasing, pre-chorus opens into stacked harmonies, chorus blooms with call-and-response duet lines and doubled hooks. Verse two swaps to half-time pockets and conversational ad-libs, bridge strips to piano and close-mic duet, final chorus returns with fuller bass, layered vocals, and handclap lift. Intimate close-mic lead, warm harmonies, delay throws on key words, filtered risers into each lift, wide and glossy mix with emotional low-end weight., hip hop, rap, uplifting, r&b
