Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro) Yeah… No features. No blame. No excuses. Just me. ⸻ Verse 1 I grew up fast where the pressure stay thick, Where the nights feel long and the skin get thick. Learned early don’t nobody save you, So I built my spine outta what I been through. They said have friends, keep the circle wide, I learned real quick most just switch sides. Smiles in my face, claps when I win, Same hands crossed when I step back in. I don’t fear dirt, I was raised in it, Chaos in my bones, I was made in it. They expected a monster from where I’m from, I became a man — disciplined one. ⸻ Hook It’s just me. No mask when I breathe. No running from the man in the mirror I see. Flaws and scars, yeah I carry that weight, But I built who I am — I don’t blame fate. It’s just me. Standing tall on my own two feet. If I fall, I reset, then repeat. Pressure don’t break me, it shapes me. ⸻ Verse 2 Business on my back, world on my chest, Still wake up early, still give it my best. Workshop grind, hands stay rough, Mind stay sharper when the days get tough. Therapy sessions, digging inside, Facing the fear I used to hide. “I need control but I fear the loss,” Learning strength ain’t about being boss. Attachment patterns, wires crossed, Heart want love but it count the cost. Now I stand steady, I don’t react, I move with purpose, I move intact. ⸻ Verse 3 Soccer field still part of my soul, Defence like steel, pace on control. They look down till I lock that lane, Then respect get quiet when I shut that game. I don’t chase perfect, I chase improve, Practice make progress, that’s how I move. Everybody striving to look so clean, But nobody flawless behind the scenes. I’ve doubted myself, I’ve felt that weight, Felt like success came wrapped in hate. Now I don’t need applause or praise, I’m proud of the man I am these days. ⸻ Bridge (slower, reflective) No more fading to keep the peace. No more shrinking to feel release. No more living in quiet fear. I stand in truth — I’m solid here. ⸻ Final Hook It’s just me. Not the version they thought I’d be. Not the story they wrote for free. I rewrote mine in clarity. Just me. Still learning, still growing strong. Still righting every wrong. Still turning pain to legacy
