Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro) I been walking like the city owes me something, Concrete prayers in the cracks, sayin’ nothin’. Late train thoughts and a coffee that’s cold, Every dream I had felt a decade old. (Verse 1) But I keep showin’ up, buttoned shirt, half tucked, People talk success like it’s bottled-up luck. Some days I feel it, most days I fake, Smile like a loan I ain’t ready to take. (Pre-Chorus) Mirror says “you’re doin’ fine,” Phone says “work overtime,” Friends say “rest, unwind,” But I scroll and scroll and lose my mind. (Chorus) I just want peace like a quiet song, Played at the bar when the night feels long. Tell me I’m more than a check or a call, More than a shadow just glued to a wall. Oh-oh, life moves fast like a broken Roomba— Wait, what? Yeah, a broken Roomba. (Interlude) You ever feel like that? Spinning in circles, bumpin’ chair legs Battery low, actin’ like you’re legit? (Verse 2) The city got moods like a jazz improv, One day sweet, next day it’ll rob You blind—of your time, your plans, your pride. But I still ride. Still slide in with that tired stride. (Bridge) And I don’t know what makes it worth it. But I keep movin’ like the world’s still turnin’. Not for the gold, not for the glory— Just tryna rewrite a tired story. (Chorus) I just want peace like a quiet song, Played at the bar when the night feels long. Tell me I’m more than a check or a call, More than a shadow just glued to a wall. Oh-oh, life moves fast like a broken Roomba— Yeah, I said it… a broken Roomba. (Outro ) Might be silly. Might be true. But if I gotta spin, I’ll choose the view.
