Forgiveness on the Block

[Verse 1]
House full of people, still lonely
Silent in the crowd, it controls me
Scrollin' through my past like a rollie
Tickin' off the ones that don't know me
Mama said, “pressure makes diamonds”
I was in the dark, steady hidin'
Pain in my chest, I’m denyin’
But my own reflection caught me lyin’
[Chorus]
Inspiration in the air when I’m breakin’ these chains
I was lonely in the storm, now I dance in the rain (yeah)
Imagine all the weight that we drop when we finish this
Heart so heavy, I’m beggin’ for forgiveness
Inspiration on the page when I bleed out the truth
I was lonely as a kid, now I speak for the youth (speak for the youth)
Imagine if we heal every scar that they vicious with
Look inside the mirror, startin’ with forgiveness
[Verse 2]
Used to blame everybody for my damage
Pointin' every single finger I could manage
Raised voice, raised glass, raised havoc
All that time, never raised my own standards
I’ve been runnin' from the shame since the playground
Tryna act hard, never stay down
But the quiet of the night too loud now
Got me prayin’, eyes open, layin’ face-down (yeah)
[Bridge]
Imagine lettin’ go of the story
Where you only ever lose, never glory
Imagine seein’ every scar as a witness
To the day you chose yourself and forgiveness (woah)
[Chorus]
Inspiration in the air when I’m breakin’ these chains
I was lonely in the storm, now I dance in the rain (dance in the rain)
Imagine all the weight that we drop when we finish this
Heart so heavy, I’m beggin’ for forgiveness
Inspiration on the page when I bleed out the truth
I was lonely as a kid, now I speak for the youth
Imagine if we heal every scar that they vicious with
Look inside the mirror, startin’ with forgiveness (forgiveness)

rap, Moody trap beat with sparse piano stabs and deep 808 glide, male vocals in a laid-back but intense flow. Verses stay close and intimate, then the chorus widens with airy pads and stacked harmonies on key words (“inspiration,” “lonely,” “imagine,” “forgiveness”). Ad-libs tucked behind the lead, subtle risers into each hook, final chorus drops drums halfway for an emotional outro.
