Prompt / Lyrics
[vocal improvisation recommended] [Intro – Spoken] [RAP Male vocal] Yeah… You ever be surrounded by people… Still feel like nobody really there? Yeah…Yeah Yeah [RAP male vocal] Some say the hood made me cold, made me distant But I been like this, stuck in my own mental prison Tryna find peace but my thoughts keep fightin Smile in the day, but at night I’m hidin Uh uh uh Wanna be seen, yeah I want that respect But I don’t switch up just to get me a check Stay solid, sometimes I take that risk Only thing I wish I could change real quick Yeah yeah Young but my mind been old from the jump Got two sides in me and they both turned up One want calm, one want chaos n noise So I move too fast, I ain’t livin like them boys ain’t livin like them boys [SUNG female vocal] Stand up, don’t fold when it get like this Chest tight, still breathe through the pain n grit They ain’t ride, they dipped, now it’s just me left Had to cut ‘em all off, now I talk to myself No love, no hand when I hit that low Now it’s f*ck everybody, I don’t need no soul Heart cold, yeah I built it that way In the dark too long, now I see my way [RAP male vocal] Climbed up high where the air get thin Lowkey scared but I still locked in Part of me curious, part wanna prove I can stand in that storm, I got nothin to lose No no no Hear my young self callin from way back then Like “you really made it where you feared back then?” Now I’m that man, yeah I faced them nights Still feel lost even after them fights Wind blow loud but it don’t say much Top get lonely when you don’t feel touch Tryna find my place in this big world map But it feel like everywhere I go, I overlap Uh uh uh [SUNG female vocal] Stand up, don’t fold when it get like this Chest tight, still breathe through the pain n grit They ain’t ride, they dipped, now it’s just me left Had to cut ‘em all off, now I talk to myself No love, no hand when I hit that low Now it’s f*ck everybody, I don’t need no soul Heart cold, yeah I built it that way In the dark too long, now I see my way [RAP male vocal] Pops woke up early, yeah 4 in the morn Hands all cracked, workin through the storm Made the house warm, had my shoes look right I ain’t say thanks, I was blind back then, right? Now I sit back thinkin damn, that was love Even if it came rough, it was sent from above Now I’m grown, feel that weight in my chest Some love go quiet, but it still the best [RAP male vocal] Sittin in a crowd but I’m still by myself Like I got all the bands but can’t buy no help Like I left my wallet when I rushed out the crib Got love in my life, just don’t feel what it is City full of lights but it’s cold inside Everybody flex but got pain they hide Saw a lady chillin, yeah she calm, no stress Like she cool with the silence, I ain’t there yet [Outro – Spoken] [RAP male vocal] Yeah… Some of us loud but we empty inside Some of us quiet but we learned how to survive Still here though…
