Terry Beside Me

rap, Warm, midtempo hip-hop with soulful female vocals; dusty piano loop over laid-back drums, mellow bass groove, and subtle vinyl crackle, Verses lean into intimate rap delivery with close-mic texture, hook opens with melodic rap and soft harmonies from stacked doubles, Energy lifts gently into the chorus with airy pads and light percussion, bridge strips to piano and bass before a final, confident hook, female vocals

[Intro] Yeah This my village right here My people Listen [Verse 1] I ain’t do this on my own Got a king that share the throne My best friend, my husband Held me down when I was busted When the nights got heavy He was right there, steady Hands on my back like “Baby girl, you ready?” [Chorus] I’m not doing this journey alone Got my day ones walking me home Terry beside me, Darla Jean strong Cheering me on when the days feel long For the things I did, things I still chase They don’t let me quit, they just give me space I’m not doing this journey alone This our story, this our song (yeah) [Verse 2] Terry in my corner like a coach on fire “Breathe, stand tall, aim a little higher” Saw me in the dark, still called me light Said, “You ain’t done yet, this ain’t your last fight” Darla Jean laughing, wiping off my tears Saying, “Girl, you came too far to feed your fears” Clapping for the wins I ain’t even seen yet Loving every version that I ain’t redeemed yet (uh) [Chorus] I’m not doing this journey alone Got my day ones walking me home Terry beside me, Darla Jean strong Cheering me on when the days feel long For the things I did, things I still chase They don’t let me quit, they just give me space I’m not doing this journey alone This our story, this our song (hey) [Bridge] For the things I finished For the ones I’m still on For the dreams half-written For the nights too long They say, “You didn’t give up You just ain’t there yet” And I wear their faith Like a crown on my neck (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] I’m not doing this journey alone Got my day ones walking me home Terry beside me, Darla Jean strong Cheering me on when the days feel long For the things I did, things I still chase They don’t let me quit, they just give me space I’m not doing this journey alone This our story, this our song (yeah, yeah)
