[Intro – Soft, whispered, layered echoes] Forgive me… for all I done… I just wanna ball… before the sun… Yeah… before the sun… [Verse 1 – Slow, melodic flow, gentle auto-tune haze] Lord, I been runnin' wild, chasin' shadows in the night Heart full of thunder, but my soul feelin' light Every mistake I made, every bridge I burned down Echoes in the silence, pullin' me to the ground I see the faces flashin', all the pain I caused Mama prayin' silent, homies holdin' loss But I'm here on my knees, in this quiet hour Askin' for Your mercy, wash me with Your power [Pre-Chorus – Building layers, hypnotic repetition] Forgive me for the nights I lost control For the words that cut deep, for the lies I told I just wanna rise, leave the old me behind Lock in on the vision, clear the clouds from my mind [Chorus – Dreamy, soaring with ethereal harmonies, repeating like a mantra] Forgive me for all I done I just wanna ball before the sun All the people in my life, this is thanks to y'all For holdin' me down when I was 'bout to fall Forgive me, Lord, make me a better man Wash my sins away with Your heavenly hand I just wanna ball… before the sun Before the sun… before the sun… [Verse 2 – Deeper introspection, slower tempo with pulsing bass] I been selfish, reckless, movin' like I had no fear Breakin' hearts like promises, drownin' out the tears But today I'm lockin' in, put the work on the floor Buildin' somethin' real, won't be runnin' no more To my family, my circle, y'all carried the weight While I was out chasin' ghosts, sealin' my own fate Now I'm turnin' the page, steppin' into the light Askin' God to guide me through the rest of the night [Pre-Chorus – Same as before, but with added vocal stacks for hypnosis] Forgive me for the nights I lost control For the words that cut deep, for the lies I told I just wanna rise, leave the old me behind Lock in on the vision, clear the clouds from my mind [Chorus – Bigger, more immersive, voices overlapping like a choir in the clouds] Forgive me for all I done I just wanna ball before the sun All the people in my life, this is thanks to y'all For holdin' me down when I was 'bout to fall Forgive me, Lord, make me a better man Wash my sins away with Your heavenly hand I just wanna ball… before the sun Before the sun… before the sun… [Final Chorus – Fading out slowly, layers dissolving into soft pads and echoes] Forgive me for all I done (all I done…) I just wanna ball before the sun (before the sun…) All the people in my life, this is thanks to y'all (thanks to y'all…) Forgive me, Lord, make me a better man (better man…) I just wanna ball… before the sun Before the sun… before the sun… Fade into the light… before the sun… [Outro – Whispered, repeating into silence] Forgive me… lockin' in… Before the sun… before the sun… Yeah…
