Still Breathing

🎵 TITLE “Still Breathing” 🎶 LYRICS (SUNO READY) [Hook – sung, melancholic, soulful] Still breathin’, even when my chest feels tight Still dreamin’, in the middle of the night Every scar tells me I survived the fight Still here… still breathin’ [Verse 1 – rap] Yeah… I learned early that hope don’t come free, Seen smiles turn fake, friends turn enemy, Mama prayed hard while the lights went out, I wrote pain in my notes just to quiet the doubt. Cold nights, empty fridge, heavy thoughts, Tryna make sense of the lines that life drew in chalk, One wrong step and the whole block talks, But silence taught me more than all that talk. I carried weight that wasn’t mine to hold, Grew up fast, yeah, I got old before old, Heart full of dreams but my pockets stayed broke, Still I believed when the world said “nope.” Every loss left a crack in my soul, But light found a way through the parts I broke, If I’m honest, I bent, but I never folded, That’s the story the scars never told you. [Hook – sung] Still breathin’, even when my chest feels tight Still dreamin’, in the middle of the night Every scar tells me I survived the fight Still here… still breathin’ [Verse 2 – rap] Yeah… I’ve been talkin’ to my demons, learned their names, Some days I win, some days I break, Smile for the world, hide the pain, But the truth hits harder when I’m alone with the rain. Lost friends to the streets, lost sleep to regret, Lost time tryna be who they wanted me to be instead, Mirror don’t lie, I see blood in my eyes, From fightin’ for peace in a world that survives on lies. They say “be patient,” but patience bleed slow, When you starving for change and your faith feel low, I made peace with the past, let the anger go, ‘Cause carrying hate make your soul move slow. If this mic is a weapon, I aim at the truth, Every bar is a scar from the shit I been through, I don’t rap to be famous, I rap to stay sane, Turn pressure and pain into permanent flames. [Hook – sung, slightly stronger] Still breathin’, even when my chest feels tight Still dreamin’, in the middle of the night Every scar tells me I survived the fight Still here… still breathin’ [Verse 3 – rap] Yeah… I talk to God but I don’t hear replies, Still I walk forward with faith in my stride, If this is a test, I been marked by fire, But diamonds only shine after pressure applied. I seen love fade, I seen trust decay, Seen real ones change for a slice of cake, But I stayed me even when it cost me pain, ‘Cause peace ain’t cheap, and loyalty ain’t. If tomorrow end, let the record show, I gave my heart to the words I wrote, I ain’t perfect, but I grew from broke, From broken homes to an open soul. So if you hear this when you feel alone, Know you not weak just ‘cause you grown cold, If you still breathing, you still got hope, That’s the message in every quote I wrote. [Final Hook – sung, raw & emotional] Still breathin’, even when my chest feels tight Still dreamin’, in the middle of the night Every scar tells me I survived the fight Still here… still breathin’ [Outro – spoken] Yeah… If you still breathin’ — it ain’t over. Scars don’t mean you lost. They mean you lived.
