Spoken — no beat, close mic) There’s a version of me… that made every choice I couldn’t… …wonder if he hear this too [Verse 1 — drag → bounce] Somewhere I ain’t take that risk I took Stayed locked in, never left my hood Same four walls, same thoughts on loop Same dreams sittin’ there… still unused Somewhere I ain’t lose what I let go Kept that love I couldn’t hold close Same late nights, same name saved Same heart I ain’t learn to replace There’s a me that kept it all… never felt this loss But there’s a me that never grew… just stayed where he was I got memories of choices I ain’t even make Every choice I made built lives I’ll never live Now I’m stuck with the one that it chose to give Every “what if” still breathin’ somewhere real Different version of me… same pain, different skin [Pre-Chorus — stretched] If I switch one move… do it all rewrite? If I stayed back then… would it feel more right? Every road I missed still echo my name… I don’t know if I’d win… or just lose a new way… [Chorus There’s a version of me… that don’t wake up like this There’s a version of me… that ain’t deal with this There’s a version of me… that got what I missed But I’m right here stuck… in the life I picked [Verse 2 — tighter, escalation] Somewhere I’m up and it don’t even hit Somewhere I quit, never faced this mess Somewhere I stayed who I used to be Somewhere I turned into who they see Somewhere I fixed what I broke back then Somewhere I never forgave again Somewhere I healed, somewhere I stayed hurt Somewhere I lost myself just to prove I was worth it Every version of me think I’m the one that got it wrong If this a simulation, whoever playin’ me need to tighten the script… I NEED A WIN NOW I been playin’ this life like I can’t reset I’m livin’ one life while the rest of me watchin’ me choose I wonder if they ever think about me too Or if I’m the only one stuck in this view [Bridge — dual reality] (whisper layers) what if… what if… (main) If I switch right now… do I change everything… (alt voice — low) …you already did… (main, slight frustration) …or just stay the same… [Final Chorus There’s a version of me… that don’t wake up like this There’s a version of me… that ain’t deal with this There’s a version of me… that got what I missed But I’m right here stuck… in the life I picked [Outro — spoken] Guess this the version that made it… …or the one that had to live with it
