[Hook]
It’s different now, girl, it’s different now
You played with my heart, but I’m stronger now
The love we had, it's burning out
All your lies, now they’re screaming loud
It’s different now, girl, it’s different now
You tore me apart, but I’m standing proud
I was real, you couldn’t see the truth
Now I’m walking alone in these Chicago streets, without you

[Verse 2]*Emotional*
See, we had dreams, we had plans, I was loyal to the core
But you slipped behind my back, now I’m left asking for more
You said it’s a mistake, that I shouldn’t judge
But your actions painted pictures that I couldn’t budge
I see you out there, smiling with him, taking my place
I’m stuck in my head, replayin’ your face
You had me in your web, but I couldn’t see the trap
Till the lies piled up, now I’m caught in the gap
I put my heart in every song, every rhyme I spit
But you didn’t see it, girl, you never cared for it
Now I’m left with nothing but the ashes of the love
As the city lights flicker, I’m rising above

[Bridge]
Yeah, I’m feeling cold, like the wind through the alleys
I’m searching for answers, but you’re in a different reality
Thought you were my queen, but you betrayed me like a thief
Left me hollow, now I’m counting every tear, every grief
But the city keeps moving, ain’t no stopping this train
I’ll rise from the ashes, won’t feel that pain
You lost what was real, traded for a lie
Now I’m on my own, watch me spread my wings and fly

(Outro)
Yeah, it’s different now…
I’ll make it through the storm, though you never cared
I’m Chicago’s son, baby, now I'm prepared.

[Verse 1] Yeah, I was blind, but I ain’t stupid, I knew the signs You said it’s different, baby, but I was lost in the vibe You said I’m overthinking, trippin’, but now I see it clear Another man’s in the picture, you whispered sweet lies in my ear I gave you all my trust, but you just threw it away Like a penny in the gutter, girl, you turned night into day Thought we were building dreams, now I’m stuck in the dirt Found out the truth when I saw your name, it hurt I gave you space, I gave you time, I gave you love But now I’m left in pieces, can’t rise above You claimed it was different, said you didn’t mean to fall But you fell deep, left me standing, yeah I’m feeling small [Hook] It’s different now, girl, it’s different now You played with my heart, but I’m stronger now The love we had, it's burning out All your lies, now they’re screaming loud It’s different now, girl, it’s different now You tore me apart, but I’m standing proud I was real, you couldn’t see the truth Now I’m walking alone in these Chicago streets, without you [Verse 2]*Emotional* See, we had dreams, we had plans, I was loyal to the core But you slipped behind my back, now I’m left asking for more You said it’s a mistake, that I shouldn’t judge But your actions painted pictures that I couldn’t budge I see you out there, smiling with him, taking my place I’m stuck in my head, replayin’ your face You had me in your web, but I couldn’t see the trap Till the lies piled up, now I’m caught in the gap I put my heart in every song, every rhyme I spit But you didn’t see it, girl, you never cared for it Now I’m left with nothing but the ashes of the love As the city lights flicker, I’m rising above [Hook] It’s different now, girl, it’s different now You played with my heart, but I’m stronger now The love we had, it's burning out All your lies, now they’re screaming loud It’s different now, girl, it’s different now You tore me apart, but I’m standing proud I was real, you couldn’t see the truth Now I’m walking alone in these Chicago streets, without you [Bridge] Yeah, I’m feeling cold, like the wind through the alleys I’m searching for answers, but you’re in a different reality Thought you were my queen, but you betrayed me like a thief Left me hollow, now I’m counting every tear, every grief But the city keeps moving, ain’t no stopping this train I’ll rise from the ashes, won’t feel that pain You lost what was real, traded for a lie Now I’m on my own, watch me spread my wings and fly [Hook] It’s different now, girl, it’s different now You played with my heart, but I’m stronger now The love we had, it's burning out All your lies, now they’re screaming loud It’s different now, girl, it’s different now You tore me apart, but I’m standing proud I was real, you couldn’t see the truth Now I’m walking alone in these Chicago streets, without you (Outro) Yeah, it’s different now… I’ll make it through the storm, though you never cared I’m Chicago’s son, baby, now I'm prepared.
