Lyrics
[Cold open: dry rap; bass hits after last line]
I kept expecting a different conclusion—
With the same damn evidence.
Had to change what I submitted.
[Beat slams: rapid pocket, clipped guitar]
I put my name on a future my funds couldn’t cover,
Signed with intent, then the rent took another.
Ambition and arithmetic arguing nightly—
Both had a point, neither one could define me.
I used to read every delay as a verdict,
Cross-examine every dream till I talked it out of working.
Called it being realistic—convenient description
For a fear with a vocabulary fit for conviction.
Now I’m precise with the difference: caution and quitting,
One checks the depth; one’s opposed to the swimming.
I can acknowledge the current and still make decisions,
Put respect on the risk without granting permission.
I found a reason before I could fathom the route,
Gave the question some effort instead of more doubt.
If tomorrow’s collecting whatever I send,
Let it open something better than excuses again.
[Hook: hard rhythmic rap; stacked title echoes]
These are the terms of my arrival:
More than a pulse and a talent for survival.
I want a life I don’t need an escape from,
Something worth waking up early to take on.
I know what it cost; I can change what it means.
My next chapter needs more than a beautiful scheme.
Put my name where the work and the wanting collide—
I intend to be here when the good shit arrives.
[Verse 2: double-time; bass cuts at punchlines]
I used to counterfeit clueless to sit in a circle,
Make a joke of myself so the silence would hurt less.
Now I ask what I don’t know, contribute what I do—
Being teachable ain’t disappearing from view.
Had a habit of mistaking correction for rejection,
Every helpful observation underwent an interrogation.
Now I separate the tone from the information—
Even awkward conversations carry useful revelations.
That’s a difficult admission; I can make it and function.
Self-respect doesn’t come with an exemption from adjustment.
I can say I got it wrong without declaring I’m worthless;
A revision of direction isn’t absence of purpose.
And I want compensation, vacations, some breathing room,
Dinner where I’m present, not distracted by what’s due.
Want the people that I love getting more than my remainder,
And a morning where the mirror doesn’t introduce a stranger.
[Bridge: drums drop; shaker stays]
I don’t owe the pain a tribute.
I don’t have to call it fate.
I can hate the way it happened
And still love what I create.
[Final hook: full drums; urgent layered delivery]
These are the terms of my arrival:
More than a pulse and a talent for survival.
I want a life I don’t need an escape from,
Something worth waking up early to take on.
I know what it cost; I can change what it means.
My next chapter needs more than a beautiful scheme.
Put my name where the work and the wanting collide—
I intend to be here when the good shit arrives.
[Hard stop; spoken]
Tomorrow can check my references.
I did something today.
