Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
I remember who I was before the noise
[Verse 1]
People put a price on the peace in my chest
Tried to make me feel guilty for protecting my rest
Had me reading every face, every pause, every breath
Till I met that little kid who was still choosing herself
She had a paper crown and a pocket full of stones
Built a tiny kind of courage out of things she called her own
When the room got cold, she never begged for a seat
She drew a line in crayon, put her heart on her feet
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear her when the old fear starts knocking at the door
She says, “You don’t owe your life to people anymore”
[Chorus]
I won’t let you turn me against my name
I won’t wear your damage like it’s mine to explain
Little me taught me love, little me taught me pride
Now the gate is closed to anything that eats me alive
I can care without collapsing, I can leave without shame
I can bless you from a distance, I can choose myself again
No more hands on the wheel from the ones who crossed the line
I protect what I survived, and I’m finally on my side
[Verse 2]
I used to call it patience when I swallowed every doubt
Called it being understanding when I couldn’t speak out
Now I know a locked door isn’t hatred or revenge
It’s a promise to the child who kept rebuilding from the wreckage
She remembers every “sorry” that arrived without a change
Every smile that hid a knife, every favor turned to chains
So I’m careful with my yes, and I’m honest with my no
If your love requires my silence, you can love me as I go
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear her when the old fear starts knocking at the door
She says, “You don’t owe your life to people anymore”
[Chorus]
I won’t let you turn me against my name
I won’t wear your damage like it’s mine to explain
Little me taught me love, little me taught me pride
Now the gate is closed to anything that eats me alive
I can care without collapsing, I can leave without shame
I can bless you from a distance, I can choose myself again
No more hands on the wheel from the ones who crossed the line
I protect what I survived, and I’m finally on my side
[Bridge]
If I seem different, good
I had to become someone I could trust
If I seem distant, good
I’m not abandoning me for us
The child I was is standing tall
She doesn’t need permission now
I built these boundaries brick by brick
And I won’t tear them down
[Final Chorus]
I won’t let you turn me against my name
I won’t wear your damage like it’s mine to explain
Little me taught me love, little me taught me pride
Now the gate is closed to anything that eats me alive
I can care without collapsing, I can leave without shame
I can bless you from a distance, I can choose myself again
No more hands on the wheel from the ones who crossed the line
I protect what I survived, and I’m finally on my side
[Outro]
Little me, I heard you
I’m here now
And nobody gets to ruin what we found

Style
Introspective hip-hop with a hard midtempo boom-bap groove, dusty kick and snare, restrained sub-bass, chopped minor-key piano accents, and a tense verse arrangement that opens into a wider, anthemic hook. Confident conversational rap delivery with crisp internal rhymes, dynamic pauses, doubled emphasis on key phrases, and a grounded, defiant mix with warm saturation and a clean vocal upfront.

Prompt
rap, hip hop people make me wanna hate myself. It'd be little myself that taught me to love and respect myself. It baked boundaries for people that who tried to ruin me. I don't allow it anymore
