Lyrics
[Intro — calm]
(quiet)
They think they know me…
⸻
But they don’t know this version…
⸻
[Verse 1 — real]
There was a time I was lost in myself…
Same routine, I was stuck in a shell…
⸻
Knew I had more but I stayed where I stood…
Told myself change but I never pushed…
⸻
Only the people close saw the shift…
That I weren’t the same in the way that I lived…
⸻
Still showed face like everything’s fine…
But I knew something’s off inside…
⸻
[Hook — simple, repeatable]
(soft, rhythmic)
I’m still me… just different now…
⸻
Same roots… but I figured it out…
⸻
I fell back… then I found my ground…
⸻
I’m still me… just different now…
⸻
[Verse 2 — deeper]
I had to sit with the version I hate…
Look in the mirror and actually face…
⸻
All of the habits I let come back…
All of the time that I can’t get back…
⸻
That’s on me, I won’t hide from that…
I own it now, I’m aware of that…
⸻
If I want change, I move like that…
No more talk, I’m done with that…
⸻
[Rap Pocket — flowy, controlled]
Said I’d do it, I didn’t act
Now I see it, I admit to that
⸻
Half in, half out, stuck in the gap
Now I’m closing it, bridging that
⸻
Every move now got intent
No more time being overspent
⸻
Still not there but I’m closer now
And that’s something I won’t neglect
⸻
[Hook — repeat]
I’m still me… just different now…
⸻
Same roots… but I figured it out…
⸻
I fell back… then I found my ground…
⸻
I’m still me… just different now…
⸻
[Bridge — emotional]
(soft)
I’m not perfect…
⸻
I’m still learning…
⸻
Still building…
⸻
Still earning…
⸻
[Final Verse — controlled confidence]
I don’t need them to see it yet…
I don’t need their approval set…
⸻
I know where I was, I know where I’m at…
And I won’t go back to that…
⸻
This ain’t talk, this is proof in time…
Every step, yeah I’m moving right…
⸻
Still got work but I’m on that path…
And I’m not losing that…
⸻
[Final Hook — stronger]
I’m still me… just different now…
⸻
Same roots… but I figured it out…
⸻
I fell back… then I found my ground…
⸻
I’m still me… just different now…
⸻
[Outro — calm]
(quiet)
Still me…
⸻
Just better…
