Prompt / Lyrics
[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.
