Save Point in My Mind

[Intro]
Eyes red
Backpack heavy
Baby on my chest
Game on ready
[Verse 1]
I’m that kid who never slept, just studied and stressed
Ash burns low while I’m buried in text
Got a 3.88, but my brain feel wrecked
Honor roll stoner with a debt in his neck
Got a daughter in the crib, tiny socks on the floor
I’m reheating cold fries, writing notes till four
Mind drifts off, start zoning at the door
Every knock sound loud like a midterm score
Clouds in my head, yeah, the fog too thick
Thoughts run wild, heart beat quick
Hearing every “what if” tick by, tick
Like I’m stuck on a level that I can’t quite fix
[Chorus]
So I hit that save point in my mind (my mind)
Turn the screen on, let the world rewind (rewind)
Get lost in a quest when I’m trying to find
A little way out of the grind, out the grind
Green cap on, I’m cutting through the doubt
Hearts on my chest when I’m freaking out
If I get knocked down, I’ll respawn somehow
I’m just searching for a legend in me right now
[Verse 2]
Lecture in the day, night class on Zoom
Baby needs milk, there’s a high in the room
Eyes half-mast, but I still make moves
Typing essays with the munchies in full bloom
Mind like a maze, every turn feels wrong
Every small L feels extra strong
But the fan hum sync with the theme song
And suddenly the demons don’t scream so long
Faint glow on my face, I’m a kid again
Side quests stacked, but I’m built for them
Dodging all the doubts that I harbor within
Rolling, locking on fear, going in for a win
I see courage on the screen when I’m feeling too small
Little hero swing big, still answering the call
So I pause, take a breath by the dorm room wall
If he can clear dungeons, I can pass this fall
[Chorus]
So I hit that save point in my mind (in my mind)
Turn the screen on, let the world rewind (rewind)
Get lost in a quest when I’m trying to find
A little way out of the grind, out the grind
Green cap on, I’m cutting through the doubt
Hearts on my chest when I’m freaking out
If I get knocked down, I’ll respawn somehow
I’m just searching for a legend in me right now
[Bridge]
Yeah, high as the grades that I chase each term (each term)
But low when the loan letters twist and burn
Still, I learn, still, I turn
Every late night panic to a quiet firm
Got a crib, got a crib sheet, formulas, fear
Got a crib in the corner saying “Dad, I’m here”
So I clear out the smoke, wipe off that tear
And I use every dream as a new gear
[Chorus]
I hit that save point in my mind (my mind)
Turn the screen on, let the world rewind (rewind)
Get lost in a quest when I’m trying to find
A little way out of the grind, out the grind
Green cap on, I’m cutting through the doubt
Hearts on my chest when I’m freaking out
If I get knocked down, I’ll respawn somehow
‘Cause the legend that I’m playing
Is the man I’m becoming right now (right now)

rap, Melancholic boom-bap with warm Rhodes, vinyl grit, and a lazy head-nod groove; male vocals in a conversational, tightly pocketed rap delivery. Hook opens with layered chant-style doubles and a simple, singable refrain; verses stay intimate with subtle bass swells and filtered drums. Final chorus lifts with octave vocal stacks and distant pad swirls, like leveling up to a calmer, brighter scene.
