(Verse 1)

((Beat drops in light))

I seen you moving like you don’t need nobody

Independent, you don’t stress over nobody

Late nights, you been working, getting to it

If they talking, let ‘em talk, you steady proving

You don’t chase, you replace, that’s your mindset

Every move calculated, never offset

They don’t see what you been through to glow now

But you shining, got ‘em watching you slow down

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

((Melody rises))

You been holding it down too long

Now it’s time that you live your life

⸻

(Chorus – Catchy Bounce)

((Full bounce beat))

You don’t need no apologies

You been running through all the streets

Living life how it’s supposed to be

Ain’t no stress, just your energy

((Female ad-libs: “Okay!” / “That’s right!”))

You don’t owe ‘em no explanation

You the vibe, you the motivation

If they doubted, let ‘em watch you leave

Now you everything they couldn’t be

⸻

(Verse 2 – T-Pain Style Melodic Flow)

((Smoother groove))

I like the way you move when you don’t care

Got your own lane, baby, you go there

Top down, music loud, let it ride out

Every worry in your mind, let it slide out

You don’t trip over things in the past now

You too busy getting bags, living fast now

Every step got ‘em watching your glow up

Now they wanna come around when you blow up

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2)

((Build slightly bigger))

You don’t gotta prove nothing

You already won something

⸻

(Chorus – Bigger)

((More layers + harmonies))

You don’t need no apologies

You been running through all the streets

Living life how it’s supposed to be

Ain’t no stress, just your energy

You don’t owe ‘em no explanation

You the vibe, you the motivation

If they doubted, let ‘em watch you leave

Now you everything they couldn’t be

⸻

(Bridge – Smooth Breakdown)

((Beat strips down))

((Filtered vocals + chords))

Late night, city lights, you glowing

No pressure, just going

((Auto-tune melodic run))

They don’t know what it cost you

But you made it through

⸻

(Final Chorus – Anthem Energy)

((Full bounce + ad-libs everywhere))

You don’t need no apologies

You been everything they wanna be

Living life, yeah you finally free

Ain’t no chains on your energy

((Ad-libs: “Go off!” / “Yeah!”))

⸻

(Outro)

((Beat fades))

((Vocal chop loop returns))

Yeah…

No apologies…
