[Intro — soft, reflective]
(quiet)
I don’t even know when it started…
⸻
Just know…
somewhere along the way…
I stopped feeling like me…
⸻
[Verse 1 — slow, honest]
There was a time I was up…
Every day felt right…
⸻
Wake up… gym…
clear head… clear mind…
⸻
Had purpose… had drive…
had energy in my chest…
⸻
Now I look back at that…
like that version was the best…
⸻
Somewhere I slipped…
let that old energy in…
⸻
Told myself I’m good…
but I knew where I’d been…
⸻
[Rap Pocket — faster]
Said “I’ll start soon”, yeah I said that a lot
Watched time go by but I didn’t take a shot
⸻
Knew what I needed, routine and control
But I let it all slip, now I’m losing my hold
⸻
Only ones close could see it in me
That I weren’t the same, I weren’t who I’d be
⸻
Still showed face but I felt that shift
Like I lost myself in the middle of it
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — soft]
(quiet)
And I knew…
something weren’t right…
⸻
But I stayed there…
just watching time…
⸻
[Chorus — emotional, melodic]
(singing)
I just wanna feel like me again…
⸻
Find that fire I had back then…
⸻
I know I lost it somewhere on the way…
But I won’t stay the same…
⸻
(soft)
I’m tryna be me again…
⸻
[Verse 2 — deeper]
I’m annoyed at myself…
yeah I won’t lie…
⸻
Had everything there…
just let it pass by…
⸻
That active version…
that’s who I miss…
⸻
The one that woke up…
and didn’t feel like this…
⸻
I stopped doing things…
that I knew I should…
⸻
Fell out of routine…
even when I could…
⸻
[Rap Pocket — sharper]
Saying I’ll fix it but I never commit
Half in, half out, I was stuck in the split
⸻
Watching my goals just sit on a list
Knowing damn well that I’m better than this
⸻
That’s what hit me, I can’t stay here
Years going by and it’s all unclear
⸻
I had to face it, look in my eyes
This ain’t the life I’m meant to live, I can’t lie
⸻
[Bridge — turning point]
(soft, direct)
If I could talk to myself back then…
⸻
I’d say stay focused…
don’t let it slip again…
⸻
No matter what life throws your way…
don’t drift… don’t break…
⸻
[Final Chorus — stronger]
(singing, more power)
I just wanna feel like me again…
⸻
Find that fire I had back then…
⸻
I know I lost it somewhere on the way…
But I won’t stay the same…
⸻
I’m leaving who I was behind…
no more wasting time…
⸻
I’m becoming who I said I’d be…
this time…
⸻
[Outro — calm, resolved]
(quiet)
I’m not there yet…
⸻
But I’m not that man no more…
⸻
I’m building back…
everything I lost…
⸻
I’m becoming…
me again…
