Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Blank page, pen in my hand Heart racing, trying to start Soft light, quiet in my room Thinking, maybe tonight I can [Verse 1 male] Sat on the edge of my bed—breathe in, slow Today felt heavy, tried to hide, but you know Little wins, little fears line this paper row by row I replay words I meant to say, but didn’t let show You caught my sleeve in the hallway, smile kinda small You said I could do anything, just gotta stand tall Still get scared of my own voice, shadows on the wall Draw strength from how you see me—I want to feel it all [Pre-chorus] If I let go, lose my place, will I fall or fly? If I say it out loud, is that when I find out why? Pencil tapping, hope it’s not too late to try Somewhere deep down, I feel the chance is right [Chorus] Tonight I’m writing my own destiny Lines in this notebook turn into possibility Cross out the doubts that used to quiet me You’re the reason I believe I’m free No erasing this part—it’s finally just me Tonight, tonight, I’m writing my own destiny [Verse 2 female] Yesterday’s pages folded—no need to look back Learning each slip is a step—keeps me on track You read the words I hide, lift me when I crack No more hiding behind lines, no painting them black I fill margins with hopes, little sketches I drew Promise to be honest—first to myself, then you Fear tries to trick me, says none of this is true But I catch your eye and feel stronger than I knew [Rap male] Started out scared, didn’t know if I’d measure Counted all the ways I was failing, no pressure Voice in my head said, “You’re not quite enough” But I’m done keeping silent, I’m finished with rough Every letter I write makes the real me appear Flip the script on the doubt, make it crystal clear Can’t live in the pages of somebody else’s script Tonight’s the night I grab my heart and I don’t let it slip [Bridge] You show me it’s okay to own what I find Mistakes, stumbles, every piece I left behind Not every word’s perfect, but it’s all still mine Learning to love the way my truth can shine Every line I ink takes me closer each time One more step, right across that line / [Final Chorus] Tonight I’m writing my own destiny—can you see? The words getting braver, it’s finally just me Crossed out the old fears, set my spirit free You’re the voice that helps me be who I can be No more wait-and-see, just possibility Tonight, tonight, I’m writing my own destiny [Post-chorus] (Yeah) With you here, I’m never alone (Oh) These pages, they lead me home This is my story—I’m making it known
