Prompt / Lyrics
🎙️ Format: Spoken Word (half-rapped, no hook) --- 🎵 Full Track Lyrics: (Beat fades in with soft rain sounds, muffled thunder... piano keys start) --- [Verse – 1 min 10 sec spoken flow] Forgive me... For not knowin’ how to love soft — I grew up around hands that only knew how to hold grudges. Forgive me… If I laugh at pain like it’s comedy. It’s just easier than cryin’ when the room quiet. I ain't perfect — I’m stitched up wrong, like God ran outta thread And just hoped the soul would stretch right eventually. I gave loyalty like lunch plates And got played like barbershop tapes — Rewound and used up. Forgive me for the silence. Sometimes I don’t speak 'cause I don’t know who listens And the people I vent to be the same ones prayin’ I drown. I told God, “Don’t test me with no more loss, ‘Cause next time, I might fold like a prayer I don’t believe in.” They say forgive and forget... But I got too good a memory, And too many tombstones walkin’ 'round wearin’ smiles. Forgive me for the rage... I been bit by too many hands I was tryna feed. Now I treat everyone like they came with a blade tucked in the sleeve. And maybe that’s not holy. Maybe that’s trauma. But tell me how to be peaceful When every hug come with a comma... And it never ends in love. --- [Outro – fading, no drums, rain continues] (Spoken softly) If I make it out... Tell God I ain’t mean to question Him. I just needed answers the street never gave me. (beat fades to silence with distant thunder)
