Mistakes

Mmm…

Been thinkin’ heavy lately…

Yeah…

⸻

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.
