Skip a Beat

sad, catchy, melodic, beat, trap, emotional

Yeah…
mm…

I lost some people to the streets,
It make my heart skip a beat,
I know sometimes this shit get hard,
So I get to prayin’ to the Lord,
Feel like I’m stuck between the scars and the dreams I couldn’t keep,
Mama said “watch who you trust,” now my soul don’t ever sleep.

Had to grow up way too fast, playground turned to trauma,
Homies turned to memories, candles for the drama,
Smiles hid the pain, learned to cry in the dark,
Every loss left a mark, yeah it tore me apart.

Empty fridge, winter nights, heart cold as December,
Said they love you to your face, but they hate you remember,
I gave loyalty for free, they sold mine for a name,
Now I move with my shadow, can’t get caught in the game.

Feel the pressure in my chest, yeah it never let me breathe,
Had to learn the hard way, everybody ain’t for me,
Every tear turned to fuel, every wound made me strong,
Still I wonder why the real ones always gone…

I lost some people to the streets,
It make my heart skip a beat,
I know sometimes this shit get hard,
So I get to prayin’ to the Lord,
Feel like I’m stuck between the scars and the dreams I couldn’t keep,
Too much pain inside my soul, yeah it never let me sleep.

Closest ones cut the deepest, that’s the truth they don’t tell,
Same ones ate at my table, turned around wish me hell,
I was broke, I was down, they was nowhere in sight,
Now they callin’ my phone sayin’ “bro, you alright?”

Seen the devil wear a smile, learned the signs too late,
Trust issues in my blood, yeah it sealed my fate,
I forgave but I never forget how it felt,
Had to save my own soul, couldn’t count on nobody else.

If I could talk to my younger self, I’d say “don’t lose hope,”
Pain gon’ try to break you, but it’s helpin’ you grow,
Every scar tell a story, every tear wrote a verse,
What you thought was a curse, might be part of your purpose.

I lost some people to the streets,
It make my heart skip a beat,
I know sometimes this shit get hard,
So I get to prayin’ to the Lord,
From the pain to the peace, yeah I’m fightin’ for my life,
If I make it out the dark, I’ma shine for the ones who died.

(Choir fades)
(Piano echoes)
(Heartbeat slows…)

Yeah…
We still here.
