[INTRO] (I'll be good..) [INSTRUMENTAL] [VERSE 1] Met you in a flash, city moving too fast Eye contact lingered, moments didn’t last Words stayed locked, silence did the talking Two ghosts passing, same pavement walking No fairy tales, just timing and stress Life been rough, love don’t come dressed I been around blocks, seen doors get slammed Hearts get cold, trust turn to sand But something in your tone when you barely spoke Made the chaos pause, made the static choke I ain’t promise perfect, I promise effort I been bad at love, tryna do better [VERSE 2] Love hit hard like a score in the fourth Knocked me down, had to question my course I put miles on your patience, weight on your name Still you answered the phone through storms and rain Late night talks, wires to the soul Telephone buzzing, keeping me whole You heard my flaws through the dial tone Still told me “don’t do this alone” I hide behind doors when pressure rise You knock anyway, look me in my eyes I ain’t runnin’ town to town like before Trying to build something solid, not a war [VERSE 3] I ain’t always good, sometimes I’m worse When I’m bad, I’m sharp, cut with the verse But at my best, ain’t no guess involved I show love loud through what I resolve I learned love ain’t speed, it’s control Not how fast you fall, how long you hold I done broke trust trying to feel free Now I’m tryna be solid, let you lean on me Fate twisted once, made something real Not fantasy love, something you feel I ain’t here to flex, I’m here to stay If I say I’m down, I mean that way [VERSE 4] I’ll be good — not perfect, just true Show it in actions, not tattoos If the world knock hard, I stand my ground If you close the door, I come back around No games, no masks, no extra noise Just grown-man love, grown-man choice Better than before, that’s the aim Love me at my growth, not my name
