Physics

VERSE 1

Do the stars ever line up

or do we just learn to stand

while the ground keeps shifting

under carefully laid plans

Pain stacked like receipts

trauma looping in my chest

They said maybe I’m cursed at birth

nah—I came over-equipped

Hyper-aware in a numb world

AP lessons in disguise

They call it karma, I call it curriculum

lightning behind my eyes

I don’t “try,” that word’s just guilt

wearing hope like a costume

You either move or you fossilize

every second you postpone truth

Did it tired, did it scared

did it broke with nobody there

‘Cause this life got memory unlocked

and I refuse to sleep unaware

PRE-HOOK

Same face, slower reactions

patience learned how to breathe

I don’t float through the chaos

I decide where I leave

HOOK

Rock bottom—where physics don’t lie

no spin left, no borrowed sky

Gravity said “this is you”

hit the floor—then the fall was through

Ain’t nothing pulling me down no more

only choice when you hit that floor

No hope talk, no “I tried”

I don’t float—I decide

VERSE 2

Winner was never who stayed or left

never claps, never crowds

It was promises kept in the quiet

when no one was around

We’re all just walking each other home

on roads nobody drew

Mine was dark, overgrown as hell

so I cut straight through

Felt hands on my back—not haunting

guiding me through the mess

Ancestors whisper “keep going”

when silence pressed on my chest

Not witchy woo, just felt truth

eyes closed, fear peeled thin

I replayed the pain till it turned to gold

and forgave how it ended

PRE-HOOK

If I’m too much, you can go

I stopped shrinking to fit

Took me 30 years to choose peace

and I’m still learning it

HOOK

Rock bottom—where physics don’t lie

no spin left, no borrowed sky

Gravity said “this is you”

hit the floor—then the fall was through

Ain’t nothing pulling me down no more

only choice when you hit that floor

No hope talk, no “I tried”

I don’t float—I decide

BRIDGE (spoken / stripped beat)

I didn’t romanticize the fall

I studied it

Mapped it

Turned the grave into a floor

Rock bottom didn’t make me strong

it made me honest

Strength came later

built from choices

made when no one was watching

VERSE 3

Built a soul tribe outta night shift chaos

3AM wins, small dances

‘Cause realizing you’re not alone

changes your chances

They stay boxed in by fear and approval

I flipped mine, watched the moon stare

They call us crazy—I call it seeing

without pretending the map was there

So what happens after this?

Maybe nothing you can take

But patterns persist

Love compiles

And I’m careful what I make

FINAL HOOK / OUTRO

Rock bottom—truth with no disguise

last place gravity tells no lies

The fall ends where choice begins

that’s where I learned who I am

No borrowed momentum

no fake hope to ride

I don’t float through this life

I decide
