Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft, almost humming] Mm… Yeah… (light guitar picking) [Verse 1 – melodic, sung] I been wakin’ up feelin’ pressure on my chest Like if I slow down, I fall behind the rest They just see me try, they don’t see the stress They don’t hear the thoughts runnin’ through my head People tellin’ me who I’m supposed to be Talkin’ like they know what’s inside of me I stay quiet, keep it underneath But it’s gettin’ hard just to breathe [Hook – fully sung, emotional] Got this weight on me… I can’t set it down Tryna be enough… but I’m losin’ ground Every step I take… feel it pull me down But I can’t stop now Got this weight on me… even when I sleep Tryna play it strong… but it’s killin’ me If I let it go… what’s it gonna mean? Who am I then? [Verse 2 – more storytelling, still melodic] Late at night, I’m thinkin’ ‘bout it all If I make one move, could I lose it all? Tryna build a life, tryna stand up tall But it feel like I’m runnin’ into walls They say “take your time,” I don’t feel that way Every single day feel like I’m too late If I take a break, then I start to hate Every little step that I didn’t take [Bridge – stripped, almost whisper-singing] Mm… I don’t say it, I just hold it in Like I gotta carry everything And it’s heavy… Yeah, it’s heavy… [Verse 3 – melodic rap (light bounce, still singy)] I been pushin’, I don’t ever stop Even when I feel like I’m at the top Of the edge, like I’m ‘bout to drop But I keep goin’, I can’t just stop I’m tired, yeah, I won’t lie Got a lot on my mind every night Tryna be what they see inside But I don’t even know if I’m right Still— I keep walkin’, I don’t turn around Even when I feel like I’m breakin’ down If I quit now, I’ma drown in doubt So I keep goin’, no way out [Hook – bigger, layered vocals] Got this weight on me… I can’t set it down Tryna be enough… but I’m losin’ ground Every step I take… feel it pull me down But I can’t stop now Got this weight on me… even when I sleep Tryna play it strong… but it’s killin’ me If I let it go… what’s it gonna mean? Who am I then? [Outro – soft, fading] Mm… Maybe I’ll figure it out someday… But right now… It’s still on me…
