[VERSE 1 – reflective / old mindset]
Used to wake up worried what they’d say
Scrollin’ through opinions that would ruin my day
Tryna fit in places I never belonged
Smilin’ on the outside but it felt wrong
Every comment hit harder than it should’ve
Every doubt made me question if I could’ve
Been something more than what they see
But I was losin’ me just tryna be seen
I was beggin’ for approval I’ll never get back
Writin’ my worth in reactions and stats
Funny how I thought that I needed them all
When they wasn’t even there when I would fall
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS – realization build]
And I see it now, it was all in my head
Tryna please everybody just left me dead
You can give your all and still be ignored
So why am I still tryna win that war
⸻
[CHORUS – OPTION C HOOK (expanded + polished)]
Got nothing left to prove
I spent years chasing validation
Lookin’ for love in every conversation
Now I’m too busy buildin’ what they said I’d never do
Got nothing left to prove
I stopped askin’ for permission
They don’t see it, but I still envision
Everything I turned my pain into
Got nothing left to prove
Funny how it all came clearer
When I stopped lookin’ for mirrors
And started lookin’ within the truth
⸻
[VERSE 2 – harder flow / “talk your shit” energy]
They used to laugh like I wouldn’t go far
Now they act like they knew who we are
Same people that doubted the vision I had
Now they double back like “damn, that’s mad”
I stopped explainin’ what I’m gonna do
Let results speak louder than proof
Used to chase validation in rooms I don’t need
Now I walk in and I just let it be
No more askin’ if I’m enough
I already built from the stuff
They said would break me down to the floor
Funny how I came back stronger than before
⸻
[BRIDGE – emotional reflection]
I don’t hate them, I just outgrew
The version of me that needed their view
And if I could talk to the kid I was then
I’d tell him, “you don’t need to win them”
Because not everyone’s meant to believe
Some people just watch while you leave
And that’s okay, I finally see
Their doubt was never about me
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – bass drop, full energy]
Got nothing left to prove
I spent years chasing validation
Lookin’ for love in every conversation
Now I’m too busy buildin’ what they said I’d never do
Got nothing left to prove
I stopped askin’ for permission
They don’t see it, but I still envision
Everything I turned my pain into
Got nothing left to prove
And I don’t need them to see it
I just needed to believe it
Now I finally do
Vesper
