Midnight On My Mind

Late night

Blue glow on my jawline

Scroll wars, everybody got a hard life

Talk big, but they typing from the soft side

I been quiet, but the hunger got a sharp bite

Cold cup on the desk, paint peeling

Same hoodie three days, same ceiling

Group chat going off, I’m deleting

’Cause I’m working on a win they ain’t seeing

Midnight on my mind

I been on the grind, I been on the grind (yeah)

Heartbeat keeping time

Drums in my chest, that’s a different kind

Midnight on my mind

Shadow in the room when I redefine

Every “you can’t” line

Turn it to a step when I cross that line

Cheap rent, but the dreams too costly

Landlord knocking, pockets move softly

Mama said “sleep,” but the clock talk salty

Saying “if you lay down now, you lost, G”

So I pace small floors like a big stage

Rewriting my fate on a ripped page

Every doubt that I got, that’s gym weight

Throw it on my back, that’s how ribs break

But I bend, I don’t snap, that’s the headline

Turn Ls into maps, that’s the design

If they ask where I’m at when it’s sunrise

Tell ’em I was in the dark learning how to shine
