Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Hand-me-down shoes Kitchen light hummin Mom at the table Stack of bills, eyes runnin Little boy askin "Where my father at?" She just stare at the window Never answer that I watched your chair Sit there, stay empty Heard every lie You were busy, you were tempted Phone never rang But my pillow stayed wet I kept waitin on a ghost You ain’t show up once yet [Chorus] You left your son in the dark, I was reachin Long nights cryin to a ceiling that ain’t speakin Thought it was me, thought I was the reason Now I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be (believe it) You left your son in the dark, I was bleedin Heart on the floor, but my soul kept breathin Learned how to stand from the pain you were feedin Now I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be (you’ll ever be) [Verse 2] I taught myself How to knot that tie How to take that hit How to taste that pride First fight, split lip No one in the crowd Walked home, head low But my spirit got loud Coach said, "Son You got fire in your chest" You sparked that match When you left me with this mess Now I tuck my lil bro in Tell him he enough Show up every day Even when the day’s rough [Chorus] You left your son in the dark, I was reachin Long nights cryin to a ceiling that ain’t speakin Thought it was me, thought I was the reason Now I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be (yeah) You left your son in the dark, I was bleedin Heart on the floor, but my soul kept breathin Learned how to stand from the pain you were feedin Now I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be [Bridge] I don’t hate you I just see through you You ran from the mirror I had to run through it You gave me nothin So I made a plan You walked away from a boy I grew into a man (woah) [Chorus] You left your son in the dark, I was reachin Long nights cryin to a ceiling that ain’t speakin Thought it was me, thought I was the reason Now I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be (ever be) You left your son in the dark, now I’m shinin Every old tear on my face turned diamond You were the wound, but I’m the healin I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be (yeah)

rap, Moody West Coast trap beat with swinging hats, weighty 808s, and eerie bell plucks. Male vocals, half-melodic rap delivery, confessional tone. Verses stay close and raw, almost whispered, then hook opens with layered ad-libs and wider reverb. Subtle synth pads bloom in the chorus, with a late-song lift in energy, extra harmonies, and ad-lib runs underscoring the emotional payoff., deep, hip hop
