Still Becoming

Intro
Yeah…
No shortcuts, no halo
Just work
Just questions

Verse 1
Woke up with a voice in my head sayin’ move now
Clock keep tickin’, I don’t ever hit snooze now
Built from the cracks, yeah the pressure made a blueprint
They see the shine, never notice what it bruised in

I was broke with ideas, rich in the mind
Tryna turn hope into something people buy
They said “be realistic,” I said “watch me”
Faith in the dark feelin’ louder than the spotlight

Pre-Chorus
I been walkin’ a line
Between fear and belief
Every loss taught me more
Than the wins ever teach

Chorus
I’m still becomin’, yeah I’m still on the way
Not who I was, not who I’ll be someday
Hands to the sky but my feet in the mud
Tryna make peace with the flaws that I love

I’m still becomin’, don’t frame me yet
Every scar just a line in the debt
I don’t chase crowns, I don’t run from the pain
I’m still becomin’, remember the name

Verse 2
Mirror talk got me checkin’ my ego
Am I buildin’ a kingdom or feedin’ a hero?
Applause feel good but it fade real fast
When you alone with the thoughts of your past

I prayed for growth, didn’t know it meant storms
Didn’t know I’d be shaped by the nights I was torn
If I fall seven times, I stand up eight
If the door locked tight, I renovate

They countin’ numbers, I’m countin’ meaning
Tryna hear God through the constant screamin’
I lost some friends when I found my pace
Turns out love change when you change your lane

Pre-Chorus 2
I been humbled by time
I been tested by doubt
Every truth I ignore
Got a way of speakin’ loud

Chorus
I’m still becomin’, yeah I’m still on the way
Not who I was, not who I’ll be someday
Hands to the sky but my feet in the mud
Tryna make peace with the flaws that I love

I’m still becomin’, don’t frame me yet
Every scar just a line in the debt
I don’t chase crowns, I don’t run from the pain
I’m still becomin’, remember the name

Verse 3
Success got a smile, but it lie sometimes
Tell you “you arrived” just to steal your climb
I been high off praise, low off shame
Both feel heavy when they know your name

I ain’t perfect, I’m present, that’s growth
I don’t talk like I know, I talk like I hope
If my voice crack, let it crack on beat
Truth sound better when it ain’t that neat

Legacy ain’t what you flex online
It’s who you are when it’s quiet time
When the lights cut off and the crowd gone home
Can you sit with yourself when you all alone?

Bridge
If I lose it all, I still got breath
If I lose my way, I still got steps
Grace don’t shine when the road make sense
It hit hardest when you at your end

If I fall again, let it shape my spine
If I wait my turn, let it sharpen time
I ain’t finished, I ain’t complete
I’m a work in progress with a heartbeat

Chorus (Final, half-time feel)
I’m still becomin’, yeah I’m still on the way
Every wrong turn taught me how to stay
Hands to the sky but my feet stay firm
Some lessons hurt but I had to learn

I’m still becomin’, let the record spin
Judge me now, you won’t know me then
I don’t chase crow
