2025

[Intro – Spoken / Soft Rap]

2025, man…
It’s been a year that tried to bury me alive,
but I’m still breathin’.
Pain turned to prayer,
and prayer turned to power.
Let me talk to you.

⸻

[Verse 1 – Rap]

Lost my job, lost my peace,
accused of sins I ain’t never released.
They paint my name like it’s crime in the streets,
‘cause a woman smiled — now they call police.

False claims, false friends, all in the wind,
said they’d ride, but they never begin.
Now I’m solo, facin’ the cold,
no hand to hold, just stories untold.

My ex switched sides, yeah she folded fast,
said “you broke,” like that defines my past.
She took the couch, the keys, my trust,
left me with lessons, pain, and dust.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – Sung / R&B Style]

And I still rise through the rain and the hate,
God don’t rush — He just makes you wait.
I’ve been down bad, but I kept my faith,
‘cause the scars on my soul gon’ pave my way.

⸻

[Chorus – Sung / Full Voice; Emotional, Anthemic]

This is 2025, my heart still bleeds,
but the fire inside gon’ set me free.
They can break my name, they can twist my dreams,
but I’m built by pain — can’t silence me.

2025, I’m still alive,
my story loud, my spirit high.
You can take my world, can’t take my mind,
I was lost in the dark — but now I shine.

[Verse 2 – Rap (faster flow)]

My son’s my reason, my only fight,
through courtrooms and demons, I pray at night.
His mama’s chaos, got me drained inside,
but I’ll crawl through flames just to see him smile.

They tried to kill my peace, yeah, stole my pride,
called me names just to justify lies.
Family ghosted, old friends hid,
but pressure make diamonds — and I’m that kid.

She said I’m crazy ‘cause I love too deep,
I said I’m human, just tryna find peace.
Every heartbreak taught me truth in the bleed,
love’s not lost — it’s just seed.

⸻

[Bridge – Half-Sung / Half-Rapped]

Yeah, I seen the fake ones turn away,
they only come around when the sun gon’ stay.
But I built a throne out the pain they gave,
now I’m crowned in scars they thought would slay.

⸻

[Chorus – Reprise / Harmonized]

This is 2025, my heart still bleeds,
but the fire inside gon’ set me free.
They can break my name, they can twist my dreams,
but I’m built by pain — can’t silence me.

2025, I’m still alive,
my story loud, my spirit high.
You can take my world, can’t take my mind,
I was lost in the dark — but now I shine.

[Outro – Spoken Over Fading Beat]

To every soul that doubted me… thank you.
To every lie they told… I forgive you.
‘Cause I found peace in the ruins,
an

[Outro – Spoken / Soulful Monologue with Background Vocals and Piano Reverb]

(beat fades, raindrops, low jazz chords echo…)

Yeah…
Funny how pain becomes the teacher you never asked for.
They took my name, twisted my truth,
called me everything but a man of God.

But I’m still here.
Still breathing through the smoke,
still praying through the noise,
still raising my son to see the light they tried to hide from me.

You know what 2025 really is?

Cinematic hip-hop soul infused with jazz roots, deep 808s, and a rich deep African American male voice—raw, emotional
