The Day I Tried to Be Healthy

[Spoken Intro — casual, chill] Yo... so... I decided to adult for a day. Like, really try. You ever just wanna... fix your whole life by breakfast? Yeah, me neither. But here we are. [Verse 1] Woke up, grabbed my oat milk, felt fancy as hell, Poured it on some weird granola that looked like dry cereal shell, Took a sip, thought, “This is fine,” till I choked on a seed, Thought I found a worm, but nah—it was just flax, indeed. Checked my phone, saw a motivational quote, “Be the best version of you,” but my bed still looked dope. Put on my Fitbit, ready to crush ten thousand steps, But five minutes later I’m gasping, sweating like it’s death. Tried to meditate, sat cross-legged like a Buddha, Then my cat jumped on me, knocked my phone into the gutter. So much for “zen,” now I’m wrestling for my screen, The Dalai Lama would not be proud of this scene. [Hook 1 — spoken word, reflective, sarcastic] “I’m out here tryna glow up, you know, adulting hard, But my kale’s bitter, my breath’s worse, and my spirit’s scarred. One day I’ll be that person, all crisp and clean, Today I’m just the guy who almost died from healthy cuisine.” [Verse 2] Lunch time, I prepped a salad—so green it was neon, Tossed in some kale, quinoa, and one sad crouton. Took a bite, instantly missed my old burger friend, Wished a cheeseburger apocalypse would descend. Decided to hit the gym, ‘cause that’s what people do, Walked on the treadmill, felt like a confused zoo. Started jogging, tripped on nothing, fell on my face, Everyone stared, I smiled, embraced my disgrace. Saw a trainer flex, looked like a Greek god, I looked like a soggy noodle, slightly odd. She said, “Keep it up!” I said, “I’ll keep up my nap,” This healthy life is weird, I’m just tryna adapt. [Hook 2 — call-and-response, mock motivational] Coach: “Push through the pain, make your dreams real!” Me: “I’m just here to survive and not keel.” Coach: “Sweat is success, feel the burn!” Me: “Sweat is why I’m late, please no concern.” Coach: “Stronger every day, no excuses!” Me: “Stronger in spirit, but weak in juices.” Coach: “You got this!” Me: “I got coffee. That’s it.” [Bridge — fast, panicked, self-aware] Now I’m staring in the mirror, drenched like a swamp, Thinking why did I start? Is this some kind of pomp? My muscles scream “quit,” my brain just wants Netflix, Next time I adult, it’s pizza and Netflix. [Final Verse] Got home, made a smoothie, tried to make it look cool, Accidentally blended my phone—yeah, I’m a tool. Called my mom, said “Help, this health thing’s a trap,” She laughed, said “Just eat a donut, take a nap.” So here I am, half healthy, half dumb, Trying to be an adult, but mostly just having fun. Tomorrow’s a mystery, but tonight I’ll just chill, ‘Cause sometimes failing gloriously is a thrill. [Outro Hook — calm, reflective] Maybe health’s a journey, or maybe it’s a meme, Either way, I’m still here, chasing that dream. One day I’ll wake up and really feel alive, But today? I’m good—propeller cap on, just survive.
