🕯️ “It Wasn’t Meant to Be Easy” | #PoetVerse (Remix) (Disco Funk · Neo-Soul · Digital Groove) [BPM: 112 (disco-leaning, steady four-on-the-floor) Key: D Minor Tone: Wry · Melancholic · Hypnotic · Knowing] ✍️ LYRICS [Intro | Spoken, Over Filtered Groove] They said it would be easy. Swipe. Smile. Ascend. They did not mention the cost of being seen without being known. (Beat drops. Bass locks in.) [Verse I | Funk-Melodic] I’m scrolling in the glow of borrowed suns, Blue light baptism, midnight run. Every face a promise, every post a prayer, I tap my faith into the air. It ain’t easy— No, it ain’t easy To find what stays. [Pre-Chorus | Call & Response Vox] Numbers climb like scripture tall, But they don’t catch me when I fall. Hearts flash red, then disappear, I’m loud online, but quiet here. [Chorus | Disco Lift, Full Groove] It ain’t easy (no, no), Dancing where the echoes are loud. It ain’t easy (oh no), Being noticed in a crowd. I shine, I flicker, I repeat, A mirror ball with tired feet— It ain’t easy To find what’s real. [Verse II | Spoken Funk / Half-Rap] 🔔 They liked your thought before you finished it. 👀 They saw you—but not the silence behind it. I traded hours for approval dust, Called it “connection,” called it “us.” But the algorithm never sleeps, And neither does the part of me That wonders who I’d be Without the witness. [Chorus | Expanded, Brass Hits] It ain’t easy (no, no), Being wanted without being held. It ain’t easy (oh no), Selling fragments of the self. Clap for me, then scroll away, Crown me king for half a day— It ain’t easy To stay human here. [Breakdown | Beat Drops, Spoken Word] Endless scroll. Endless praise. Endless hunger dressed as play. They comment on my comment’s ghost, I answer back to feel it close. 💥 Wham. The screen goes dark. Who applauds when I’m alone? [Final Chorus | Brighter, Bittersweet] It ain’t easy—but I’m dancing still, Laughing at the turning wheel. If meaning’s thin and fleeting too, I’ll make a rhythm out of you. It ain’t easy (no disguise), But neither was the truth in eyes— So I move, I breathe, I don’t retreat, I choose the beat over the feed. [Outro | Groove Fades, Soft Spoken Line] It was never meant to be easy. Only felt. (Fade on bass + distant claps.)
