[Intro – whisper tone, piano in background]
They ain’t show up, but I did
They ain’t care, but I still lived
Ain’t nobody ride, but I still slid
I’m still here — and that’s all it is
---
[Verse 1]
I done gave my last when they left me drained
Showed up for folks who forgot my name
Held my tongue when I felt that rage
Now I write those scars all across this page
I done walked through the fire with a smile I faked
Broke bread with ones who was known to flake
Prayed for peace in a world so fake
And kept movin’ even when my soul did ache
They was ghostin’, I was grounded
They was laughin’, I was drownin’
I was tryna build — they was doubtin’
Now I’m standin’ on what they counted out in
---
[Hook – sung with melodic autotune, harmonized layers]
They ain’t stay, but I still got me
Heart got cracks, but I still found peace
No calls, no texts, no reach
But I still climb even when it’s steep
Still got me when the room went cold
Still got me when the pain took hold
Still got me when they let me go
So don’t ask who I trust — I know
---
[Verse 2]
I was down bad with a mind full of war
Still showed love when they showed me the door
They ain't check in, they just checked my score
But I still held it down like I did before
Never needed a crowd just to feel like more
I was real when they changed like the weather report
Told myself, “We ain’t goin’ broke in spirit”
Put my pain in the pad, now they gotta hear it
I made it out with my soul intact
No fake ties, no lookin’ back
I lost folks, but I gained my spine
Now I bet on me every single time
---
[Hook – repeat, with stronger conviction and reverb fx]
They ain’t stay, but I still got me
Heart got cracks, but I still found peace
No calls, no texts, no reach
But I still climb even when it’s steep
Still got me when the room went cold
Still got me when the pain took hold
Still got me when they let me go
So don’t ask who I trust — I know
---
[Bridge – slow melodic breakdown]
I looked in the mirror and that’s who stayed
Been through storms but I never strayed
I’m the one that picked me up
So no, I ain’t givin’ that credit away
---
[Outro – vocals fading into piano keys]
Still got me…
Still got me…
Ain’t no love like self when they all leave
