Prompt / Lyrics
(INTRO – ambient, distant) (Low piano,heavy reverb) (choir pad swelling) (heartbeat bass) Yeah… Feels like I been walkin’ with a shadow Every step feel borrowed… (HOOK – melodic,) (Filtered synth pad) (808s soft but deep) (Muted guitar plucks) I got one foot in the dirt, one foot in my dreams Time feel thin when you know what it means Prayin’ I make it to watch my kids grow Prayin’ I live long enough just to know How to breathe when it’s all caving in How to smile when the walls don’t bend Tell me how to live when the clock don’t wait When I’m chasin’ great with one foot in the grave ⸻ (VERSE 1 – , introspective) (Minimal drums, rim + kick) (Bass pulsing quietly) Death been tappin’ my shoulder like it know my name Every corner feel sharp, every joy got pain I rehearse conversations I might never say Apologies trapped in my chest like they barricaded Thinkin’ ‘bout my sister in white, walkin’ down that aisle Wonder if I’ll still be here just to see her smile Wonder if my kids gon’ remember my voice Or just pictures and stories ‘bout the man with a choice I was tryin’ to be strong, but I been scared too Tryin’ to build a future while the roof caved through Everybody say “keep goin’,” but they don’t explain How you run from the rain when you are the pain ⸻ (PRE-CHORUS – deep energy) (Atmospheric riser) (Auto-panned vocal effects) (Sub bass swelling) Yeah… Feels like the sky been fallin’ slow I been talkin’ to God through the lows Every “what if” weighin’ my soul Still here though… still here though… ⸻ (HOOK – FULL, EMOTIONAL) (Full drums + 808s) (Wide synths open up) Prayin’ I make it…. (VERSE 2 – Pain → Perseverance) (Darker beat switch) (808 distortion) I miss the days when we laughed with no debt No pills for the stress, no fear in the chest Friends talk less now, life movin’ fast We swear we got time, but we runnin’ from facts I done seen too many funerals before weddings Too many texts sayin’ “bro, you hear what happened?” Tryna stay solid while the world feel fragile Tryna write hope in a language of survival I ain’t ready to go, but I ain’t fearless Every breath feel loud when you hear it If this pain the price for the vision I chase Then let me at least leave love in my place ⸻ (BRIDGE - raw) (Beat drops out) (Low piano only) (Room reverb, intimate) If today my name get called… Tell my kids I tried. Tell ‘em I loved harder than I hid. Tell my sister I was proud. Tell my friends I never forgot us… I just didn’t know how to stay. ⸻ (FINAL HOOK – RESOLVED, HOPEFUL) (Choir layered quietly) (Drums return, steadier) I got one foot in the dirt, one foot in my dreams Still reachin’ up even when I bleed If I’m still breathin’, then I still fight Tryna turn these dark days into light Show me how to live when it all feels fake When my heart feel heavy, my soul still aches I’m still here, yeah I’m still awake (OUTRO) (Instrumental fade) (Heartbeat slows) (Soft choir hum) Yeah… Still here. Still tryin’.
