[Intro – Close Mic]
I thought knowing better
would make me want less.
[pause]
It didn’t.
I just learned
how to recognize the hunger
before it recognizes me.
[Hook – Smoky, Building]
Still insatiable
[hold]
Still a fire I can’t deny
Still reaching past the moment
While the moment’s still alive
[harmony enters]
Still insatiable
But the difference now is me
I can feel the hunger rising
Without letting it eat me
[beat pulls back]
I still want more
[rasp]
I just know what wanting costs
Still insatiable
[stacked harmony]
But I’m no longer getting lost
[Verse 1 – Melodic Rap]
I know the pattern, know the signs
Know how “more” can dress like drive
Know how chasing validation
Can look a lot like being alive
I’ve hit the goal and skipped the joy
Made the win feel unemployed
Turned a blessing into pressure
Before I even heard the noise
[flow tightens]
One more milestone
One more high
One more reason to rewrite
One more version of myself
I swear will finally feel right
[beat softens]
But I know that voice now
Know exactly where it leads
It can call itself ambition
Still be starving underneath
[Pre-Chorus – Rising]
I don’t fear the hunger
I just stopped believing every word
Not every ache deserves an answer
[pause]
Not every want deserves the world
[Hook – Bigger]
Still insatiable
[stronger]
Still a fire I can’t deny
Still reaching past the moment
While the moment’s still alive
Still insatiable
[harmonies]
But the difference now is me
I can feel the hunger rising
Without letting it eat me
[beat drops]
I still want more
I just know what wanting costs
Still insatiable
But I’m no longer getting lost
[Verse 2 – Intense]
Success still knows how to seduce me
Love still knows where I get weak
Peace can turn into perfection
If I let obsession speak
I can make “becoming better”
Sound so noble, sound so clean
While moving every finish line
Before I touch the dream
[drums thin]
So now I sit inside the win
Let it breathe before I run
Let enough be more than language
[soft]
Let it actually be done
I can want without consuming
I can build without escape
I can love what I have today
Without demanding it be great
[Bridge – Soulful Build]
Maybe I was never meant
To kill the fire in my chest
[voice opens]
Maybe healing was just learning
Fire don’t have to burn the rest
[vocals rise]
I can hunger
I can dream
I can want beyond belief
[fuller belt]
Without confusing my desire
For something missing underneath
[Final Hook]
Still insatiable
[full belt]
Yeah, the fire never died
But I stopped calling every craving
Something I had to satisfy
Still insatiable
Still becoming, still complete
[hold]
I can reach for something greater
Without abandoning me
[beat drops out]
I still want more
[close mic]
But I don’t need more to be whole
[harmonies swell]
Still insatiable…
And finally
I’m the one in control
[Outro – Whispered]
The hunger still asks,
“What’s next?”
[pause]
I smile now.
Because for once…
[whisper]
I don’t have to answer.
