Intro (low, direct) I remember everything… I just don’t live there ⸻ Verse 1 (past — detailed, grounded, real) Back blocks, back seats, phones on silent Keys in my hand, but I ain’t had guidance Running late nights, same route, no plan Moving like I had time I didn’t have Same faces, same stories getting recycled Same “we good” talk, same survival Did what I did just to make it through Didn’t think twice, I just made that move Seen too much to act like I ain’t know Still stayed in it, that’s how it go You normalize what you live inside Till it start catching up and you can’t hide ⸻ Hook / Chorus (statement — different feel) I don’t carry that life, I closed that account Every move I made, I paid that amount Now I move clean, I move precise Everything I want got a different price I don’t step back, I don’t revisit Everything I left, I meant it I don’t talk about it like I miss it I just know what it cost me to quit it ⸻ Verse 2 (the shift — accountability, not soft) No one pulled me out, I pulled myself Sat in everything I never felt No distractions, no place to run Had to face what I’d become That part quiet, that part hurt That part daily, that part work Breaking habits that felt like home Walking paths I ain’t walked alone Had to cut what felt like mine Had to draw a real hard line Not everything I left was wrong But everything I left couldn’t come along ⸻ Hook / Chorus I don’t carry that life, I closed that account Every move I made, I paid that amount Now I move clean, I move precise Everything I want got a different price ⸻ Verse 3 (present — discipline + structure) Now it’s early moves, clear head, no noise No random ties, no blurred lines Everything around me got a role now Everything I build got a spine I don’t sit where it don’t align I don’t stay where it cost my time Every step I take got weight to it Everything I do got a reason to it This ain’t luck, this is structure This ain’t change, this is cut-off This ain’t “I’m trying,” this is done This is who I am now — locked in ⸻ Bridge (future — what you’re building) I don’t see small anymore… I don’t think temporary ⸻ Verse 4 (future — vision + requirements) I see bigger than what I had I see rooms I ain’t stood in yet People solid, no switching sides Everything real, no half-set I don’t need everything at once I just need it real when it come I don’t rush it, I don’t bend I just stay ready when it land And I know what it take to keep it Discipline, not just reaching Everything I want in front of me Cause I built who I need to be ⸻ Final Chorus (strongest, resolved) I don’t carry that life, that’s done Everything I am, I’ve become No back doors, no side runs Everything forward from this one ⸻ Outro (quiet, final) Yeah… I remember everything I just don’t live there
