[Intro – chill / hype] Still here. That counts. [Hook – warm, rhythimc] Life been rough, yeah, wallets been hurt Still breathin’, so it could be worse Lost a lot, learned what it’s worth Had the flock, so it could be worse Life ain’t perfect, scars still show But we laugh through it, take it slow Middle finger to what don’t work Love to the flock — it could be worse [Verse 1] Seen numbers fall like dominoes Heard “just wait” a thousand times Watched friends fade when charts went red Others stayed — yeah, that’s my side Ain’t gonna lie, it messed me up Taught me things I didn’t ask But it showed me who was real And who just liked the mask We shared jokes in the quiet days When nobody cared to look Built something outta stubborn faith No blueprint, no playbook [Hook] Life been rough, yeah, wallets been hurt Still standin’, so it could be worse Lost some sleep, lost some perks Found my people — could be worse Life ain’t perfect, cracks still there But I trust the ones who stayed and stared Middle finger to the noise and dirt Love to the flock — it could be worse [Verse 2] We ain’t flawless, never claimed We mess up, double back, adapt But we show up, speak our names And carry weight we didn’t pass They talk loud from the sidelines Disappear when it’s tough We been here through every phase That’s more than enough I don’t need the final win Just another honest day Another laugh, another voice Saying “yo, we still okay” [Bridge – half-spoken, sincere] We ain’t rich. We ain’t right. But we’re here. Together. [Final Hook – bigger, hopeful] Life been rough, yeah, wallets been hurt Still smilin’, so it could be worse We ain’t perfect, we ain’t first But we showed up — it could be worse So here’s love to the ones who stayed Here’s thanks to the scars we earned Middle finger to the hate and thirst Love to the flock — it could be worse [Outro – satisfied] Could’ve been worse.
