Rewriting The Script

[Verse 1]
I woke up in a story I ain’t even write
Every line in my mind said “you always lose fights”
Automatic in my head, like a loop on repeat
“Guess I’m just that guy” every time that I speak
Then my doc hit pause, said “hold up, breathe
You ain’t facts, you a thought, say it after me
That’s a filter, that’s a bias, that’s a trick in your view
If you can name how it works, it can’t work on you” (uh)
[Chorus]
We rewriting the script in my head now (yeah)
I ain’t stuck in that flick, I can step out
New frame on the pain when it hits
Watch me flip, watch me flip, that’s rewriting the script
I talk back to the thought when it shouts loud
I don’t bow, I just break that old vow
New frame on the shame when it hits
Watch me flip, watch me flip, that’s rewriting the script (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Used to think “I’m the problem,” every room, my fault
One glare from a stranger, I would turn to salt
But he drew me a map, said “here’s that schema you run
It’s an old house plan built when you were young
You scan for danger, so you only see threat
Ignore every little sign that you cherished and kept
Ask: what’s the trigger, what’s the feeling, what’s the thought on deck?
What you do right after? That’s the chain to inspect”
Now I’m catching that link on the way to the mood
Like “oh, that’s that story where I’m always used”
Hit it with a question, challenge how it sounds
“If this was a friend, would I talk them down?” (tell ’em)
[Chorus]
We rewriting the script in my head now
I ain’t stuck in that flick, I can step out
New frame on the pain when it hits
Watch me flip, watch me flip, that’s rewriting the script
I talk back to the thought when it shouts loud
I don’t bow, I just break that old vow
New frame on the shame when it hits
Watch me flip, watch me flip, that’s rewriting the script
[Bridge]
Mood ain’t magic, it’s trained like a skill (yeah)
Catch it at the spark, don’t wait for the spill
Name it, rate it, trace it, slow that spin
You can’t drive blind once the lights come in
I ain’t my past, I ain’t my worst line
Just a mind learning how to watch my own mind
From the seat in the back, I can see my whole play
If I can watch what I think, I can choose what I say (woah)
[Chorus]
We rewriting the script in my head now
I ain’t stuck in that flick, I can step out
New frame on the pain when it hits
Watch me flip, watch me flip, that’s rewriting the script
I talk back to the thought when it shouts loud
I don’t bow, I just break that old vow
New frame on the shame when it hits
Watch me flip, watch me flip, that’s rewriting the script

rap, Laid-back boom-bap with crisp drums, warm jazz chords, and subtle bass groove. Male vocals in a close, conversational tone; hook opens up with stacked call-and-response ad-libs, light vinyl crackle, and airy keys. Verses ride the pocket with clear diction and space for the message; final chorus lifts with extra harmonies and a wider stereo image.
