[Indie Rap / Pop]
[Intro – Ambient Swells Only]
(Soft vocal, almost spoken)
Yeah…
Still here.
Still breathin’
[Verse 1]
Weak rhymes, weak lines, everybody yellin’ “no cap,”
Same flow, same tone, copy-paste rap.
Run it back, run it back, but the words don’t weigh,
Whole game sound hollow, just noise on replay.
ELI feel heavy, don’t push him too far,
Smilin’ in the daylight, battlin’ in the dark.
Same fight, same night, same demons in a ring,
Round after round still swingin’ at the sting.
They try to rob dreams, but it’s not what it seems,
Keep it clean on the mic, yeah I live what I mean.
They hate that I’m PG, say I don’t fit the scene,
But I’d rather speak truth than sell what’s obscene.
[Pre-Chorus (Melodic Build)]
Mentally tangled, financially stressed,
Feels like God put weight on my chest.
I’m not sayin’ I’m the best —
Just tryin’ to lay my fear to rest.
[Chorus (Layered + Lift)]
Happiness and self doubt
Both live in this house
One says “you’ll make it out”
One keeps draggin’ me down (yeah…)
I fall, I get up, I reset somehow
Every time I break, I rebuild right now
Happiness whispers soft
But self doubt screams loud
(Still here…)
[Verse 2]
Late nights, dim lights, overthinkin’ my fate,
Tryna build a future while I’m fightin’ my state.
Tired eyes, small wins, still chasin’ the crown,
But the voice in my head keep pullin’ me down.
Say “start over,” say “give up,” say “why even try?”
But there’s fire in my chest that refuses to die.
If this is a test then I’m passin’ it slow,
Faith don’t mean fearless — it means still go.
[Bridge (Distorted / Stripped)]
(Soft. Slight distortion.)
If I lose it all…
Would I still believe?
If the crowd goes quiet…
Would I still breathe?
Maybe the fight ain’t the enemy…
Maybe it’s buildin’ me—
(Distortion fades on “me”)
[Final Chorus (Biggest Lift)]
Happiness and self doubt
Both live in this house
One says “you’ll make it out”
One keeps draggin’ me down
But I fall, I get up, I reset somehow
Every scar I got made me stronger now
Happiness whisperin’ soft
And I’m learnin’ to drown self doubt out
(I won’t drown…)
