Once Upon a Lifetime

[Intro]
Yeah
Storytime
Turn the page
[Verse 1]
Woke up in a room like a locked-up tower
Brush in my hand, but I hold the power
Talkin’ to the mirror like, “Girl, don’t trip”
Got a dream in a jar and a half-packed grip
They say, “Stay put,” I say, “Stay watching”
Got a map in my mind and my sneakers on the carpet
Life ain’t magic, it’s mess and motion
Still I stir my days like a secret potion
[Chorus]
This is my once upon a lifetime
Not just a line, this is my headline
I’m gonna trip, gonna fall, still I rewrite
Turn every hard night into a highlight
This is my once upon a lifetime
Pages in ink, not in guidelines
I’m gonna lose, gonna learn, still I shine
This is my, this is my
Once upon a lifetime
[Verse 2]
Some days feel like I’m lost in the forest
Friends turn to strangers, plans turn chorus
Talkin’ to the sky like, “You hear my fear?”
But the answer’s in my chest, beatin’ loud and clear
I kiss old doubts like I’m breakin’ curses
Dance with my flaws, make ’em all my verses
Life’s not perfect, it’s plot and twist
If the glass shoe breaks, I still got my kicks
[Chorus]
This is my once upon a lifetime
Not just a line, this is my headline
I’m gonna trip, gonna fall, still I rewrite
Turn every hard night into a highlight
This is my once upon a lifetime
Pages in ink, not in guidelines
I’m gonna lose, gonna learn, still I shine
This is my, this is my
Once upon a lifetime
[Bridge]
I’m not waitin’ on a rescue (uh)
I’m runnin’ with my rescue crew (yeah)
Every scar is a side-note proof
That the girl in the mirror always came through
Wish on a star, then I tie my laces
Walk my way through the wildest places
If the clock runs out and the dress gets torn
I’ll still be dancin’ in my uniform
[Chorus]
This is my once upon a lifetime
Not just a line, this is my headline
I’m gonna trip, gonna fall, still I rewrite
Turn every hard night into a highlight
This is my once upon a lifetime
Pages in ink, not in guidelines
I’m gonna lose, gonna learn, still I shine
This is my, this is my
Once upon a lifetime

rap, Bouncy orchestral trap with bright strings, glockenspiel, and playful brass stabs under a crisp modern beat. Female vocals, agile and expressive; verses in tight, witty rap, chorus opens into a sing-along melodic hook. Sub bass supports the groove, with fairytale chime swells into each hook and stacked harmonies on the last chorus for that cinematic, end-credits lift.
