[Intro – Background noise fading out] (Muffled TV, phones, chatter… slowly dialed down) You ever notice the room get quiet and nothing really changed except you? (Beat comes in, simple drums, soft keys) [Verse 1] My eyes pick one spot on the far side wall, Rest there easy, don’t force it at all. World still move, but it slide past slow, Like I’m on my own track and it’s B‑roll. Jaw feel loose, tongue rest in my mouth, Breath float steady like a tide in the south. Hands hang down but they still feel ready, Light in my shoulders, heartbeat steady. Sound in the room turn soft and round, Can still hear voices but they feel turned down. Every little detail show up clear, The scuff on the floor, that hum in my ear. Thoughts line up like cars in a lane, No crowd, no rush, no traffic in my brain. I ain’t tense, I ain’t tryin’ too hard, Just sittin’ in the pocket like I own this yard. [Pre-Chorus] My mind zoom in but my body stay loose, Like a lens turned sharp without tightenin’ screws. I’m here, not ahead, not behind in time, Just ridin’ this second like it’s all that’s mine. [Chorus] Locked in, but I’m loose with it, Calm in my chest and the groove still hit. Target in sight, but I don’t grip tight, Just lettin’ every little moment line up right. Locked in, but I move with ease, Air feel warm when it hits my teeth. Not fear, just work in the back of my mind, Ready when it’s time, not forcing the line. [Verse 2] I feel that little click when it’s time to tune, Like the whole room shift to a different moon. Jaw unclench, but my spine stay straight, I’m awake in a way you can’t fake or fake. Eyes scan once, then they fix on a frame, Block out extra like it’s not in the game. Shoulders drop down from up by my ears, But my hands still know what to do if it nears. Noise in the back turn into one tone, Low soft hum like a dialed‑down phone. I hear what I need and the rest just fade, Like the world hit mute on the mess it made. Heart knock light, not poundin’ through, More like a drummer just keepin’ me true. No jitter in my fingers, no shake in my knee, But there’s a coil in my core that belongs to me. [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t frozen, I’m just clear in the head, Like everything that don’t matter already got said. When it’s time, I’ll move without thinkin’ it twice, ‘Cause I’ve been here inside this moment, nice. [Chorus] Locked in, but I’m loose with it, Calm in my chest and the groove still hit. Target in sight, but I don’t grip tight, Just lettin’ every little moment line up right. Locked in, but I move with ease, Air feel warm when it hits my teeth. Not fear, just work in the back of my mind, Ready when it’s time, not forcing the line. [Verse 3] It start with one breath that I actually feel, Cool on the way in, on the way out real. Eyes blink slower, thoughts drop in, One at a time like they wait to begin. My shoulders remember they not made of stone, Neck loosen up, I come back to my own. I notice the light on the floor by my shoes, Little gold patch I was too loud to use. I let go of the stuff that don’t help right now, All the “what if, what if” and the “why me, how?” Leave it all stacked in a pile offstage, So this one small square can be my page. I ain’t hyped, I ain’t numb, I’m just here, Everything close, everything near. If it’s time to move, I’m one step away, If it’s time to wait, I’m okay to stay. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a line in my mind only I can see, From where I am now to where I might be. But I don’t chase the end, I just walk this beat, One calm thought, one sure heartbeat. [Final Chorus] Locked in, but I’m loose with it, Calm in my chest and the groove still hit. Target in sight, but I don’t grip tight, Just lettin’ every little moment line up right. Locked in, but I move with ease, Air feel warm when it hits my teeth. Not fear, just work in the back of my mind, Ready when it’s time, not forcing the line. (Ad-libs) [First Voice] Yeah… right here. [Second Voice] Eyes open, hands steady. [Third Voice] Just stayin’ in it. (Outro – background sounds slowly fade back in)
