WHO I AM NOW

[Intro — calm, grounded]

(spoken, steady)
This is me now…

(quiet)
No confusion… no chasing… no noise…

⸻

[Verse 1 — smooth, controlled]

I’m not the same as I was and I don’t pretend
I see things clear now, I don’t overextend

Used to chase what was never aligned
Now if it’s not right, I just leave it behind

I don’t force conversations, don’t over-explain
If it don’t make sense, I don’t entertain

That’s growth, that’s something you earn with time
Not something you say, it’s a state of mind

I used to hold onto things I should’ve released
Now I protect my energy, I value my peace

And that’s a shift you don’t notice overnight
It’s built through pressure and learning to get it right

⸻

[Flow Pocket — tighter, confident]

No more chasing, no more proving
No more overthinking, overdoing

If it’s out my hands, I let it go
I don’t hold onto what I don’t control

I move with purpose, I stay composed
No need to react, I already know

⸻

[Verse 2 — identity + growth]

I’m confident, calm, still got humour in me
But I move with intent, I see it differently

I stand for truth, I stand for respect
Time and love, that’s what I protect

No tolerance now for fake energy
I’d rather stand alone than lose integrity

And yeah I’ve had to learn that the harder way
Through moments I wish I could take away

But I needed that to become who I am
Now I don’t fold, I just stick to the plan

⸻

[Bridge — reflective]

(soft)
I don’t react like I used to…

(quiet)
I don’t move like I used to…

(spoken)
That version of me… doesn’t live here anymore…

⸻

[Final Verse — message + closure]

If you think you know me, you probably don’t
You see what I show, not what I’ve overcome

Never judge, never assume what you don’t understand
You don’t know the pressure that made this man

And I’m still building, I’m not at the end
But I’m further ahead than I’ve ever been

I compare to myself, not the world around me
And that’s the reason I move how I do now see

⸻

[Outro — final, calm]

(quiet, firm)
This is who I am now…

(soft)
And I’m not going back…
