Atomic

Intro (spoken, low energy)

Yeah…

This one hurt different.

But it taught me everything.

⸻

Verse 1 – First Love / The Dream

First time I met her, swear the room got quiet

Smile like peace, but my heart went riot

I showed her cities she ain’t never seen

Flights, late nights, chasing bigger dreams

I ain’t just talk it, I really invested

Every promise I made, I meant it

Saved ten thousand for a wedding ring

I was ready for forever, no second string

I gave her my world, put my heart on display

Thought love was enough, thought love would stay

I had plans, man, I had a vision

Didn’t know love need more than ambition

⸻

Verse 2 – Rejection / Pain

The way she turned me down was ice-cold

Hit me like an atomic bomb, left a deep hole

I stood there frozen, didn’t know what to do

Heart on the floor, still loving you

I felt foolish, felt small, felt played

But I still showed love, never switched my ways

Put everybody on my shoulders, carried the load

Smiling through pain, still walking the road

They don’t see the nights I cried in silence

Asking God why love turn violent

I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul

You said I was a fool, that broke me whole

⸻

Hook – Lesson / Faith (melodic or half-sung)

Some things take patience

Some things you fight for

Some things you gotta let live

Fly away, hope they come back

But be okay if they don’t

When you don’t turn to God completely

You get stuck in the back room

While numbers shine bright

Ain’t no reruns, this life tonight

⸻

Verse 3 – Growth / Faith / Reality

I learned love don’t work without God in it

If He ain’t first, then it fall minute by minute

I told you my dreams gon’ turn real

I just needed support when the nights got real

I was at my lowest of lows

Needed you right there to show me how it goes

But I stood alone, learned how to pray

Learned real strength don’t fade away

When I shoot, I shoot like Kobe in his prime

Fadeaway jumper, pain in my rhyme

Can’t nobody stop this hunger in me

Whole town know my legacy

Been in Dallas since I was a kid

So don’t ever think you can play me

I played soccer, played basketball

Man, I really played it all

You can’t step in my shoes, they don’t fit

Different walk, different calling, different grit

⸻

Verse 4 – Promise / Legacy

Mama, I promise I’m gon’ be that man

Make you proud, do everything I can

One day you gon’ say “wow”

When you see how God worked it out

Big house, gated, no stress

McLaren blacked out, orange tint, success

Land, acres, never worry ‘bout rent

‘Cause I got us, mama, every cent

Yeah, she broke my heart, but I healed it right

My baby boy, my baby girl gon’ see a father in their life

No matter what, I’ll die about them

That’s the legacy, that’s the promise

⸻

Outro (spoken, calm)

I don’t regret loving hard.

I regret forgetting God first.

But I learned…

And that changed everything.
