(Verse 1)
I’ve seen a lot, lost some, learned the hard way,
grew up too fast, had to find my own lane.
Faced dark nights, but they didn’t break me,
they showed me where I was blind, not where I’m empty.
Pain ain’t the enemy, pain is a teacher,
you don’t grow colder, you grow deeper.
Love ain’t control, love is letting go,
even when your heart bleeds, you still let it flow.
(Hook)
I changed a lot, yeah, life reshaped my mind,
not everything was fair, but I stayed aligned.
Not a victim of the past, I wear my scars with pride,
what almost took me out is the reason I survived.
(Verse 2)
Learned manhood ain’t ego or flex,
it’s standing responsible when nobody checks.
The loudest voice don’t mean the strongest soul,
real strength shows when you still hold control.
Desire is fire, but it ain’t the wheel,
if you let it drive, you forget what’s real.
Discipline without heart is a prison of rules,
heart without clarity keeps making you lose.
Not every battle needs fists or rage,
some you win by staying calm, turning the page.
And not everyone laughing is really free,
some laugh just to avoid what they don’t wanna see.
(Hook)
I changed a lot, yeah, life reshaped my mind,
learned who I am, not just who I’ve been.
No escape routes now, I’m walking my line,
with self-respect first and a compass inside.
(Bridge)
Learned asking for help ain’t weakness at all,
sometimes standing alone helps you stand tall.
Where you come from don’t decide who you’ll be,
you can fall a hundred times and still rise free.
(Verse 3)
Truth don’t need applause to stay true,
it’s real even if nobody’s clapping for you.
Not every door opens just ’cause you knock,
but the right one stays open when you stay solid, not lost.
Patience ain’t pause, patience is trust,
knowing time does its work if you stay just.
Growth don’t always come loud or wild,
sometimes you grow quiet – then realize you’re solid.
(Outro / Hook)
No changes? Nah, I changed for real,
not to fit in – but to finally feel.
What I learned, I carry like light, not chains,
not to burn the world – just to guide my way.
