Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro – cinematic, low voice) Yeah… Feels like I been runnin’ my whole life. But not anymore. Listen… (Hook – melodic, powerful) I’m not who I used to be, My attitude is new— See the world so different now, I don’t think like I used to. I’m not who I used to be, Truth cut straight on through— I see the world so differently, I don’t do what I used to do. (Verse 1 – NF-style confession, 16 bars) I was livin’ the wrong life, that was my downfall, Thought I had it all together, knew nothin’ at all. Let the game crown me, then it turned ’round, Dropped me in the dirt and walked off like a ghost town. Pain hit heavy but the truth hit harder, Light hit the room, cut deep like a barber. Found out the enemy I kept tryna beat Was livin’ in my chest with a permanent lease. Breakin’ everybody that I claimed as mine, Didn’t see the damage till I looked behind. But grace showed up in the nick of time, Pulled me out the rubble and reset my mind. Now I ain’t runnin’ from the truth no more, Ain’t hidin’ every wound like I did before. What I owe you now ain’t pain or proof— It’s love, real love, and that’s the truth. (Pre-Hook – tension rising) Yeah, the old me tried to bury me, But the new me’s breakin’ out heavily. This ain’t luck, this ain’t therapy — This is God pullin’ chains off steadily. (Hook – soaring) I’m not who I used to be… (Verse 2 – climactic, storytelling, 16 bars) I felt hopeless, yeah, I felt helpless, Heart turned cold from the weight I dealt with. Misery came knockin’, I let it inside, Opened up the door like, “Come take a ride.” Reckless livin’, restless nights, Tryna drown pain under city lights. But God stepped in and He flipped that script, Gave me strength in the places where I used to quit. Now even locked down, I ain’t locked out, Hope found me on a different route. Brand-new vision in a broken place, Brand-new mission with amazing grace. Got gratitude burnin’ like a fire in my chest, Feelin’ more alive than I ever did depressed. This a new start, man, this ain’t pretend— I’m rebuildin’ with the help of my Savior and my friends. (Pre-Hook – whispered intensity) Yeah… I ain’t fightin’ this alone. Never again. (Bridge – emotional NF-style lift) I used to think the world was turnin’ on me, Thought everybody left ’cause they didn’t want me. But now I see, I was blind, too stubborn to see That I needed you like you needed me. Friends, neighbors, family ties— We rise together or we fall in disguise. I can’t make it through the storm on my own, That’s why I’m standin’ here… Tellin’ you I’ve grown. (Hook – final, biggest moment) I’m not who I used to be, My attitude is new— See the world so different now, I don’t think like I used to. I’m not who I used to be, Grace broke me through— I see the world so differently… And I won’t go back to what I used to do. (Outro – soft, cinematic) Yeah Not who I used to be. Not who I used to be. Thank God… I’m not who I used
