[Intro]
[(heartbeat… distorted vocal)]
Thought I’d disappear?
Nah…
[Verse 1]
Everybody got opinions, everybody got a take
Said I’d never make it, told me music was a waste
Funny how they disappeared whenever things got tough
Now they watching from a distance while I’m getting back up
Yeah, I stumbled, yeah, I fell
Had some nights I couldn’t tell
If I’d ever find myself again
Living in that mental hell
Fear thought he won, almost had me convinced
Almost packed my bags and called the whole thing quits
But “almost” don’t count where I’m standing today
I’m still writing chapters they can’t take away
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t gotta prove I’m perfect…
Just prove I didn’t quit.
[Chorus]
I’m still here… (still heeere)
After every sleepless night
After every voice that told me
I should give up on this life
I’m still here… (still heeere)
You can doubt me if you want
I’ve been fighting battles you can’t see…
And I’m still standing strong
[Verse 2]
Talk about my old sound, say I lost my lane
Funny, I was busy trying to survive the pain
Now I’m back with purpose, heart inside the pen
Writing every chapter like it’s oxygen again
Apartment keys, bigger dreams
Trying to be the man she sees
Trying to build a future now
Instead of drowning in “what ifs”
You don’t know the prayers I prayed
Or every tear I hid away
You only hear the finished song
Not every night it took to make
[Bridge]
I don’t need revenge…
Success is enough.
I don’t need permission…
I’m already up.
[Final Chorus]
I’m still here…..
More alive than I’ve ever been
Fear kept telling me it was over…
Guess he lied again
I’m still here… (still heeere)
This is only chapter two
You can keep on watching…
I’m just getting started.
[Outro]
[(music strips away)]
Thought I’d disappear…
See you on the next track.
