[Intro]
Headphones on
World turned low
Heart too loud
Mind on overload
[Verse 1]
Been scared of my own reflection
Scroll my feed like it’s confession
Every win feel like a question mark
Every loss replayed in the dark
Mama call, I let it ring twice
Text back “busy” but I’m just tired
Got a dream on layaway, tagged “someday”
Clock on the wall screaming “boy, you late”
[Chorus]
I’ve been breaking through these glass ceilings
Shards in my hands but I like the feeling
If it cuts deep, that means I’m healing
Bleeding out doubt while the room keeps spinning
I’ve been breaking through these glass ceilings
Face full of scars but my faith still breathing
If it hurts now, that means I’m leaving
Every old version of me in pieces
[Verse 2]
Therapist say “you’re too defensive”
I say “I just grew up on fences”
Chain-link pride with a rusted smile
Jokes on cue just to buy some time
Friends say “bro, you about to blow”
I say “maybe,” but I move slow
’Cause I seen fame turn a man to smoke
Turn real love into inside jokes
I keep notes in my phone like prayers
Typed-out fears that I never share
Swear I’m done hiding from that kid in me
The one who believed before history
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Look at these hands
Same ones shaking, same ones raised
Same old shame
Turned to flame, lighting up my face
[full voice, layered harmonies]
If I fall tonight, I fall forward
If I lose my way, that’s still movement
If I crack this shell, let the world in
Let the world in
Let the world in (yeah)
[Chorus]
