[Intro – spoken / filtered]
Yeah…
It feels like…
Something been missing?
⸻
[Hook]
I know things can’t always be the same
So when things change, so does my vision.
Always live my life different,
But lately’ I’ve been feeling like theirs something missing
Wishing for your existence
But the truth is, this ain’t no coincidence
My future been brighter because my wisdom’
But tell me what it cost just to get it…
Signed my name on a line I ain’t read
Gave my soul just to feel like I’m chosen
Now I’m here but I’m stuck in my head
Wide awake but I’m feeling so hopeless
⸻
[Verse 1]
I know things can’t always be the same
So when things change, it feels different
Tryna keep my mind on a mission
But my spirit keep shifting positions
Always live life spontaneously living
Till I realized what I was given
Every blessing came with conditions
Every dream came tied with a limit
When I feel like something’s always been missing
Wishing for your existence
But the truth is this ain’t no coincidence
I was searching for love in a system
My future been brighter
Guess you weren’t the flame to my lighter
After all, you not a smoker
Now I see it all clearer, I’m colder
I’m home, but I’m hopeless
All these rooms but nobody to notice
Living life, can’t get my time back
Every second slipping, can’t rewind that
⸻
[Bridge – Ye style, emotional / almost gospel]
Is it God or the money that’s calling me?
Is it fame or the pain that’s haunting me?
I was told I was chosen, but honestly…
Why it feel like it’s controlling me?
Music told me “just sign and you’ll be free”
But it turned into chains that are holding me
If I shine, is it light or they owning me?
If I fall, they gon’ say they ain’t knowin’ me…

[Verse 2 – deeper, Ye introspection]
Cause this life is like a contract
But don’t nobody know for how long
We just chasing every moment
Till the moment that it all gone
Sold my pain just to make songs
Turned my tears into a rollout
They said “this your time, don’t waste it”
But they never told the cost now
Higher power, I been praying
But the answers feel delayed now
If I’m chosen, why I feel lost?
Why the silence so loud now?
I been building off my downfall
Turned the pressure into sound now
If I lose it all tomorrow…
Would they love me or just my sound?
⸻
[Outro – stripped, emotional]
Lately I feel hopeless…
Living life… can’t get my time back…
This life really a contract…
Guess we never knew the time stamp…
Til something went missing’
