Verse 1
We scrolling through visions, envy in the glow of screens,
Comparing every chapter to some perfect in-betweens.
Chasing the highlight reel while the real you’s still unknown,
Missin’ all your own footsteps, fearin’ you’ll go alone.
Pre-Chorus
Drop the mask, quit countin’ what you don’t possess,
Destiny’s a whisper, but you gotta hear the rest.
Chorus
Stop the mirrors, stop the shade, stop the what-if noise,
Find your own fire, let it burn for you, not their joys.
You’re written in the stars in a verse no one can clone,
Stand in your own light, king or queen, claim your throne.
If life’s a movie, don’t chase another’s scene,
Stay true to your story, be bold, stay clean.
Verse 2
People front for a sunset they never earned,
While the path you’re on is where your own truth’s learned.
Patience is a weapon, courage wears your name,
Wait for your moment while you rise above the game.
Bridge
I’ve seen the loudest voices fade when the truth is found,
The quiet heart outshines in a world that won’t slow down.
Pre-Chorus
Drop the mask, quit countin’ what you don’t possess,
Destiny’s a whisper, but you gotta hear the rest.
Chorus
Stop the mirrors, stop the shade, stop the what-if noise,
Find your own fire, let it burn for you, not their joys.
You’re written in the stars in a verse no one can clone,
Stand in your light, don’t dim, claim your throne.
If life’s a movie, don’t chase another’s scene,
Stay true to your story, be bold, stay clean.
Outro
When the crowd goes quiet, let your heartbeat be the guide,
Your future’s waiting outside your doubts you’ve outgrown inside.
Take the long road, trust the ride, let your truth unfold,
You’ll write a legend in your own, unfolding gold.
