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
