Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Ever since I was a young boy I ain’t see what they see Eyes open in the dark room Whole world talkin’ to me [Verse 1] I was that kid in the back row Staring out the window like a black hole They laugh, say I’m spaced, I’m a weirdo I’m just seeing what the rest never get shown Shadows on the wall start to breathe slow Names in the rain on the glass glow Heart full of questions I can’t hold So I’m looking up high when it feels cold [Pre-Chorus] I said, “Allah, why me? Why’d You put this fire where my heart should be?” Every night that I can’t sleep I lay my pain at Your feet [Chorus] Ever since I was a young boy, I felt chosen Talking to the sky till my eyes got swollen Everybody say I’m strange, I’m broken You the only One that kept my soul wide open Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve been fighting Demons in the dark, but I keep on rising I don’t understand Your plans, but I’m trying You the only reason that I’m still surviving (yeah) [Verse 2] I battled with the anger and the doubt waves Friends turn ghost when the clouds came Cut scars deep, had to bandage my own shame Smile on my face with a hurricane backstage Saw signs in the cracks of the pavement Heard truth in the words of a stranger Every wrong turn, every late-night danger Felt hands on my back, pulling me from the razor (yeah) [Pre-Chorus] I said, “Allah, why me? Why You let the wolves come hunt my peace?” Then You showed me how to breathe Turn that hurt into belief [Chorus] Ever since I was a young boy, I felt different Heart beat loud, went against the system Everybody talk but they never really listen You were in the silence, I could feel the wisdom Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve been climbing Bruises on my soul, but I keep on shining I don’t understand Your plans, but I’m trying You the only reason that I’m still surviving (still surviving) [Bridge] If I fall, will You catch me? If I break, will You patch me? (yeah) If I’m lost in the madness Guide my steps through the blackness Every tear in my mattress Every prayer from the ashes All the pain that I masked, it Turned me into what I had to be [Chorus] Ever since I was a young boy, I felt chosen Talking to the sky till my eyes got swollen Everybody say I’m strange, I’m broken You the only One that kept my soul wide open Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve been fighting Demons in the dark, but I keep on rising I don’t understand Your plans, but I’m trying You the only reason that I’m still surviving (yeah, yeah)

rap, Moody trap-house crossover with male vocals; minor-key plucked synths over a swung 808 groove and bright house hats. Verses ride a close, confessional rap delivery, then the hook opens into melodic rap with airy pads and distant vocal chops. Sub-bass keeps it heavy while a simple piano figure glues sections together; final chorus stacks harmonies and ad-libs for an anthemic lift., pop
