Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro — slow, reflective] (soft) Three years back… I didn’t even recognise myself… ⸻ (still, quiet) Looking in the mirror like… who are you… ⸻ [Verse 1 — slow → build] I was there… but I wasn’t present… Walking round but I felt disconnected… ⸻ Same place… same days on repeat… But inside I knew… I ain’t where I should be… ⸻ Tried to hide it… played it cool outside… But deep down I was fighting my mind… ⸻ Told myself “you’re good”… yeah I lied… Couldn’t even face what I felt inside… ⸻ [Rap Pocket — faster] Lost in my head, no direction, no aim Running in circles, I’m stuck in the same ⸻ People around me, but still feel alone Built up a version that didn’t feel home ⸻ Knew I had more but I couldn’t break through Watching my life like it’s nothing to do ⸻ Sitting there thinking “what happened to me?” Knowing damn well I ain’t where I should be ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — slow] (soft, honest) I knew it then… But I did nothing… ⸻ Watched time pass… Like it was nothing… ⸻ [Chorus — melodic, emotional] (singing) I’m not where I should be… But I know there’s more in me… ⸻ Fighting what I can’t see… Trying to find me… ⸻ (soft) I was lost for a while… But I won’t stay there… ⸻ [Verse 2 — deeper] Anger built up… I was mad at myself… Knew I had potential but I needed some help… ⸻ Didn’t ask… just carried the weight… Let it sit there… let it turn into hate… ⸻ Days went quick but I stayed the same… Watching everyone else start making a name… ⸻ That hit different… I can’t lie… Made me question everything in my life… ⸻ [Rap Pocket — faster, sharper] I could’ve changed but I stayed in place Looking at time like I’m losing the race ⸻ Knew what I needed but didn’t commit Half in, half out, I was stuck in the split ⸻ Telling myself that I’ll do it tomorrow Building a cycle of stress and of sorrow ⸻ Deep down knowing I’m wasting my years Smiling outside but I’m drowning in fears ⸻ [Bridge — slow, turning point] (soft, honest) Then something changed… ⸻ I got tired of feeling that way… ⸻ Tired of excuses… Tired of delay… ⸻ Looked in the mirror… And said “fix this” ⸻ [Final Chorus — stronger] (singing, more power) I’m not where I should be… But I know there’s more in me… ⸻ I won’t let this be me… I’m finding me… ⸻ (soft ending) Three years gone… But I’m still here… ⸻ [Outro — calm, resolved] (quiet) Not where I was… Not where I wanna be… ⸻ But I’m closer… Than I used to be…
