Verse 1 They tell me, "Just keep drawing." Like the answer's always there. Like they know the sleepless nights, Or the weight that I still bear. Blank page staring back at me, Nothing wants to come alive. Holding pencils in my hands, Wondering if I still got the drive. Pre-Chorus You only saw the finish line, Never every step I climbed. You saw the work... Not the thousand times I tried. Chorus Don't say, "Get better," Without seeing the problem. Don't tell me it's easy When you've never had to solve it. You don't see the empty page, Or the ideas locked away. It's more than picking up a pen... It's fighting through another day. Verse 2 (Rap) Everybody got advice, everybody got a take. "Just practice every day." Like that's all it really takes. What about the roadblocks? What about the doubt? What about creating when your mind keeps shutting out? Video timeline sitting there, nothing wants to click. Hours disappear, still trying to find the trick. Algorithms changing, nobody even sees. You start asking yourself, "Is this really meant for me?" Recognition feels distant, buried in the crowd. Working in the silence while the world is getting loud. People see one picture, never all the years. Never all the setbacks, never all the fears. Bridge I'm not asking for applause. I'm not asking for a crown. I'm just asking people To understand before they talk me down. Final Chorus Don't say, "Get better," Like it's one, two, three. Every artist walks a road Nobody else can see. Maybe I will find my way. Maybe I'll still stumble too. But before you give advice... Take a moment. See the struggle I'm walking through. Outro Sometimes the hardest part... Is simply beginning.
