Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (Low piano chords, distant vocal wail fading in) Yeah… Sometimes the loudest thoughts come when the beat goes quiet [Verse 1 – Male Rapper 1] I been runnin’ from my past like it owe me money Smilin’ for the cameras but the pain still love me Mama said, “Be strong,” but I learned it lonely Learned how to fight demons when the room feel empty I grew up fast, no map, just survival Broken home, broken nights, broken idols Every scar on my chest got a title Every win feel fake when you lose your rival I talk big, but my soul been small Tryna build an empire with a crumblin’ wall Every prayer feel stuck in the hall Like God on hold, won’t pick up my call [Pre-Chorus – Male Vocal (soft)] I ain’t proud of the things I done But I’m tired of actin’ like I won Tryna heal what I can’t outrun Still lookin’ for peace I never found [Chorus – Male Soulful Hook] I been writin’ letters I never send Talkin’ to my past like an old friend If I fall tonight, will you understand? I’m just tryna be a better man Heart heavy but I still stand Shadows long when the lights go dim If forgiveness got a price on it I been payin’ with my sins [Verse 2 – Male Rapper 2 (Feature)] Yeah I see my father in the mirror when I lose control Same cold silence, same damaged soul Swore I’d never walk his road But here I am with the weight he owed Love come fast, but it leave me quicker Trust issues turn friends to critics I numb the pain, pour it in the liquor Smile wide, but my heart feel thinner They say time heals, but time just passes Pain evolve, turn scars to habits I learned success don’t erase the sadness Just buy better ways to hide the damage [Pre-Chorus – Male Vocal] I been fightin’ wars inside Tryna make it through another night If I break, don’t ask me why I been strong my whole damn life [Chorus – Male Soulful Hook] I been writin’ letters I never send Talkin’ to my past like an old friend If I fall tonight, will you understand? I’m just tryna be a better man Heart heavy but I still stand Shadows long when the lights go dim If forgiveness got a price on it I been payin’ with my sins [Bridge – Half Sung / Half Rap] (Beat drops thinner, eerie vocal wail echoes) If I could talk to the kid I was I’d say, “You ain’t weak, you just been through too much” Every tear you hid made you hard to touch But you survived, yeah, you survived [Final Chorus – Emotional Lift] I been writin’ letters I never send Prayin’ one day I’ll make amends If I fall tonight, take my hand I’m just tryna be a better man No more masks, no more pretend I’m learnin’ how to breathe again If forgiveness got a price on it I been payin’ with my sins [Outro] (Piano fades, background wail dissolves) Yeah… Still writin’… Still hopin’ one day they get read
