Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Yeah Been running from myself a long time Now I’m walking back Slow [Verse 1] Stared at my own face in a cracked screen Timeline full of jokes, but I lack peace Scroll till my eyes burn, still I can’t sleep Ghost in my own house, that’s a bad dream Talk tough, but my habits say the opposite Say “I’ll change,” then I’m chilling in the obvious Blame it on the past, or the place that I came from Hand on my chest like, “When you gonna take some?” I’ve been ducking every mirror like it owe me Afraid of what I’ll see if it show me Every little lie that I sold me Every missed call from the old me [Chorus] I’ve been talking ‘bout change, now it’s time I change I’ve been running in place, had to step off the race Self reflect, self respect, let it rinse my pain (yeah, yeah) If I wanna heal wounds, gotta face that blame If I wanna feel peace, gotta sit with the shame Self reflect, self correct, I’ma make that change (make that change) [Verse 2] Caught me mid-thought, heart heavy like a backpack Every old hurt stuffed deep, that’s a back tax Mind on replay, reruns of the bad acts But I can’t heal if I only ever backtrack So I breathe in, count slow, feel my lungs rise Watch ‘em fall, let the storm in my skull quiet Every single breath like a small truce Learning how to listen when I talk too I ain’t perfect, I ain’t tryna be a postcard I just want days where my chest ain’t a cold yard Learn to forgive, first person on the list: me Learn to let go so the past doesn’t pimp me [Chorus] I’ve been talking ‘bout change, now it’s time I change I’ve been running in place, had to step off the race Self reflect, self respect, let it rinse my pain (oh, let it rinse it) If I wanna heal wounds, gotta face that blame If I wanna feel peace, gotta sit with the shame Self reflect, self correct, I’ma make that change (make that change, yeah) [Bridge] Mindful in the morning, feet on the floor Thankful that I woke, that I get one more I don’t need to be loud to be sure Quiet in my chest, that’s the cure (yeah, that’s the cure) [Chorus] I’ve been talking ‘bout change, now I live that change I was running in place, now I’m breaking the frame Self respect, self connect, wash away that pain (let it fade) If I wanna heal wounds, I accept my blame If I wanna feel peace, I forgive that shame Self reflect, self correct, I’ma make that change (I’ma make that change)

rap, Introspective boom-bap rap, warm vinyl crackle and dusty piano loop under tight, thoughtful bars; drums knock with a steady head-nod swing, subtle bass glues the groove. Choruses widen with soft female vocal chops and subtle reverb, verses stay dry and upfront so the male vocals feel confessional and close. Final hook strips to drums and bass for a mantra-like outro., healing
