[Intro – soft, almost whispered]
Yeah…
They see the change…
But they don’t know the cost of it…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I love it when they think that I’m just soft now
Like I forgot the way I used to pop off
Like bein’ kind erased the things I fought through
Like I don’t got a side I keep locked down
I been workin’ on myself, yeah it’s true
Tryna let it go instead of breakin’ through
But don’t confuse the silence with defeat
I just learned that every war don’t need me
Still got demons I ain’t buried yet
Still got anger I ain’t carried less
I just learned how to hold it in my chest
But don’t think I won’t air it if you press
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep pushin’, keep testin’ my restraint
Like you never seen a storm behind the rain
I been changin’, but don’t play me like I changed
Everything…
⸻
[Hook – emotional but aggressive switch]
Don’t get it twisted, I’m healing—not healed
Still got that fire, still ready to peel
Back every layer you thought I concealed
You push me too far, then it’s back to what’s real
Yeah I’m better, but don’t act like I won’t
Cross that line if you give me a reason, I don’t
Wanna go there—but I promise I will
Don’t get it twisted… I’m healing, not healed
⸻
[Verse 2]
You see the patience, but not what it takes
Bitin’ my tongue every time that you play
I could go back to the version of me
That didn’t think twice, just reacted with rage
I been rebuildin’, brick after brick
Tryna be someone that people can trust
But disrespect got a way of remindin’
There’s still a little destruction in us
I ain’t proud of the things that I’d do
If I let all that anger come loose
But don’t corner a man in a cage
Then act surprised when he breaks through
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep pushin’, keep testin’ my restraint
Like you never seen a storm behind the rain
I been changin’, but don’t play me like I changed
Everything…
⸻
[Hook]
Don’t get it twisted, I’m healing—not healed
Still got that fire, still ready to peel
Back every layer you thought I concealed
You push me too far, then it’s back to what’s real
Yeah I’m better, but don’t act like I won’t
Cross that line if you give me a reason, I don’t
Wanna go there—but I promise I will
Don’t get it twisted… I’m healing, not healed
⸻
[Bridge – stripped, emotional]
I’m tryin’…
God knows I’m tryin’ to grow
But pressure got a way of exposin’ the old
I’m fightin’…
Every version I was
But don’t forget… that’s still in my blood
⸻
[Final Hook – bigger, more intense]
Don’t get it twisted, I’m healing—not healed
Still got that war in the way that I feel
I chose to change, but I’m still in the field
So don’t push me back to the man I could be still
Yeah I’m better, but don’t act like I won’t
Turn it dark if you give me a reason, I don’t
Wanna go there—but I promise I will
Don’t get it twisted… I’m healing, not healed
