Prompt / Lyrics
I CHANGED FOR YOU [Intro – soft spoken] Yeah… This ain’t about perfection. This about effort. This about showin’ up. ⸻ [Verse 1 – sung/soft rap] I ain’t always been the man you see right now, Had storms in my chest I ain’t say out loud. Used to think strength meant never breakin’ down, Till I saw my kids watchin’ every move I found. Little hands grab mine like I’m stronger than steel, They don’t know my past, they just know how I feel. And that kind of trust make a grown man pause, Made me check my temper, made me check my flaws. I used to chase noise, validation, pride, Now I chase bedtime talks and car ride vibes. They don’t ask for perfect, they don’t ask for rich, Just someone consistent they can count on quick. ⸻ [Hook – emotional melody] I changed for you, yeah I had to grow, Some wounds run deep but you helped me know. If I fall again, I still stand up quick, ’Cause I wanna be a better man for my kids. Not flawless, not strong every single day, But I’ll fight myself just to keep you safe. Everything I am now, everything I give, I changed who I was for my kids. ⸻ [Verse 2 – beat drops, rap focus] I learned money don’t hug, fame don’t care, Presence beat presents every time, swear. I was gone too much even when I was home, Head somewhere else while they sat alone. That guilt hit heavy when they smile at me, Like I’m their hero — man, that’s wild to see. I ain’t deserve that crown back then, So I started buildin’ the man I pretend. Less ego now, more patience in speech, More listenin’ close, less tryna preach. They copy what I do, not what I say, So I move with intention every day. ⸻ [Hook – stronger delivery] I changed for you, yeah I had to grow, Some wounds run deep but you helped me know. If I fall again, I still stand up quick, ’Cause I wanna be a better man for my kids. Not flawless, not strong every single day, But I’ll fight myself just to keep you safe. Everything I am now, everything I give, I changed who I was for my kids. ⸻ [Bridge – soft alt section] Maybe one day you’ll see what I tried to become, Not the man I was, but the father I’m growin’ from. If I leave you anything when my time gets thin, Let it be stability, love… and discipline. ⸻ [Verse 3 – emotional rap close] Still got fears, still fight old ways, Still nights I question if I changed enough, okay? But when they laugh, man, it quiet my head, Remind me why I choose growth instead. I don’t want ’em carryin’ baggage from me, Cycles stop here — that’s legacy. So if they ever ask what kind of man I lived, Tell ’em I wasn’t perfect… But I gave everything I could give. ⸻ [Hook] [Outro – spoken] Cold Verse. Growth ain’t loud. Sometimes it’s just… Showin’ up. Again. And again.
