Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Midnight signs a contract with the dawn, Ink made of seconds, already gone. I’m counting breath like borrowed change, Every heartbeat hums: rearrange. [Verse 1] I keep receipts for moments I spent, Laughs in my pocket, regrets I rent. Mirrors talk slick when the lights go low, Say, “You don’t own time, you lease the glow.” I move through crowds like a quiet drum, Every face asking where I’m from. I plant ideas in concrete nights, Watch them crack sidewalks into lights. [Pre-Chorus] If tomorrow sends a bill, I’ll pay in truth, No counterfeit dreams, no wasted youth. [Chorus] I’m paying rent on tomorrow, not buying yesterday, Trading fear for interest, letting hope compound my way. No keys to forever, but I got today, Windows open wide, let the future hear me say— I’m alive right now, hear the echo stay. [Verse 2] Gold clocks melt when the bassline sighs, Promises stretch like city skies. I learned my name from the things I try, Not the rumors that circle by. Hands in the fire, palms don’t burn, Every scar a page I turn. I stitch my faith from scraps of doubt, Wear it loud when the doubt taps out. [Pre-Chorus] If tomorrow sends a bill, I’ll pay in grit, Every “almost” turned to “this is it.” [Chorus] I’m paying rent on tomorrow, not buying yesterday, Trading fear for interest, letting hope compound my way. No keys to forever, but I got today, Windows open wide, let the future hear me say— I’m alive right now, hear the echo stay. [Verse 3] Neon thoughts in a velvet mind, Heartbeat syncs with the borderline. I dance with risk in polished shoes, Lose the map, still choose to choose. If luck’s a rumor, I start the press, Print belief in a fearless dress. I don’t chase crowns or borrowed shine, I build a sound that sounds like mine. [Bridge] Count it up—joy over fear, Close the tab, keep love right here. When the night asks who I am, I sign my name with a steady hand. [Chorus] I’m paying rent on tomorrow, not buying yesterday, Trading fear for interest, letting hope compound my way. No keys to forever, but I got today, Windows open wide, let the future hear me say— I’m alive right now, hear the echo stay. [Outro] Dawn hands keys to a brand-new hue, I step outside—rent paid, view renewed.
