"The Weight of the Fall (Rap Version)"
(Verse 1)
Yo, grew up with the weight on my chest,
Thought I could carry it all, but I was pressed.
Told my mom I’d be the son she dreamed,
But promises fell apart, nothing as it seemed.
Never stepped up for my brothers, no,
Caught in my own world, couldn’t let it go.
Left 'em hangin', didn’t give 'em the time,
Now I’m here alone, lost in my mind.
I was the friend who said I’d have their back,
But when they needed me, I turned my back.
Kept my distance, didn’t give a damn,
Now I’m stuck with guilt, can’t understand.
(Chorus)
I failed as a son, as a brother, as a friend,
Chasin' dreams, but they never seem to end.
I’m lost in silence, with no one in sight,
Trapped in the shadows, can’t find the light.
The weight of the fall, heavy on my chest,
Realized too late that I ain’t been my best.
(Verse 2)
I was dreamin’, but my dreams cut deep,
While my family cried, I was fast asleep.
They needed me, but I shut them out,
Now I’m drowning in shame, filled with doubt.
The son who never stood tall,
The brother who left them all.
The friend who couldn’t stay true,
Now I’m left with nothing but the mess I knew.
Regret’s a monster, it won’t leave me alone,
I built walls, now I’m stuck on my own.
The mirror don’t lie, but it’s hard to face,
A man who’s lost, can't find his place.
(Chorus)
I failed as a son, as a brother, as a friend,
Chasin' dreams, but they never seem to end.
I’m lost in silence, with no one in sight,
Trapped in the shadows, can’t find the light.
The weight of the fall, heavy on my chest,
Realized too late that I ain’t been my best.
(Bridge)
I’m lookin’ for answers, but there’s none to find,
I gave up everything I left behind.
I can’t take back the words I said,
Now I’m walkin’ through life, filled with dread.
(Chorus)
I failed as a son, as a brother, as a friend,
Chasin' dreams, but they never seem to end.
I’m lost in silence, with no one in sight,
Trapped in the shadows, can’t find the light.
The weight of the fall, heavy on my chest,
Realized too late that I ain’t been my best.
(Outro)
The past haunts me, can't run from the cost,
I let 'em all down, now I'm feelin’ the loss.
The pieces I shattered, I can’t put 'em together,
Now I’m stuck with the weight of this forever........
