Mistakes

[Intro – emotional, reflective]
Mmm…
Been thinkin’ heavy lately…
Yeah…

[Verse – Beat the Odds–type storytelling]
I been battlin’ demons that don’t ever wanna lose,
Tryna find a silver lining in a world built to bruise.
Everybody told me I’d be broken if I chose this route,
But how they gon’ judge the pain I lived when they don’t know my doubts?

Came from nights starin’ at the ceiling tryna breathe right,
Fightin’ through the shadows ’cause I barely ever seen light.
Every time I slipped, I heard the whispers say I peaked twice,
But failure taught me more than anybody tryna seem right.

People love to speak on what they never had to fight through,
Talkin’ like my trauma was a game they had the right to.
Funny how the same ones who doubted what I might do
Try to come around now I’m focused on my breakthrough.

I was tryna heal in a place that never showed me love,
Tryna carry weight for people who ain’t lift a single glove.
I ain’t ask for pity, all I wanted was a little trust,
Ended up alone but that’s the moment that I leveled up.

Tell ’em I ain’t movin’ backward even if the pressure rise,
I been walkin’ blind but somehow learned to read the signs.
I been put in places where intention didn’t match the vibe,
Had to cut ’em off ’cause loyalty don’t ever compromise.

Made mistakes, but everything I learned came with purpose,
Pushed away the wrong ones once I realized they was surface.
Took a lot of losses but I turned ’em into sermons,
Put the pain in melodies and prayed it make me worth it.

I ain’t never chase approval — I just wanted peace around me,
Had to look within ’cause outside voices always doubt me.
Walkin’ through the chaos, but I promise it won’t drown me,
Future finally clearer once I left the ones who clown me.

Look…
Pressure made me sharper, all the pain became a blueprint,
Every scar I carry got a reason why I do this.
Life tried to break me but I’m movin’ like I’m bulletproof,
Beat the fate they set for me — now everything I speak the truth.
