Pale Green

(Verse 1 - Slow Acoustic Guitar Strum, Beat Drops In) Mama’s tears fell like the rain outside, Pale green walls, nowhere to hide. Cracks in the paint, like cracks in life, Tryna hold on, but the struggle cuts like a knife. Daddy left young, never said goodbye, Empty chair at the table, pain in my eyes. Food stamps on the counter, lights flicker low, Hand-me-down dreams in a world so cold. (Chorus - Big Beat Drop, Anthemic Hook) Pale green walls and a world so small, Cryin’ in the dark when the night would fall. Lost in the pain, but I’m still gon’ stand, Holdin’ on tight with these tremblin’ hands. Ain’t no silver spoon, no rich man’s name, Just a heart full of fight in this broken frame. The past won’t own me, I refuse to crawl, I’ll break these chains off these pale green walls. (Verse 2) Mama worked doubles just to make it right, Prayin’ on her knees every single night. Said, “Baby, one day, you’re gonna rise,” But all I saw was struggle in her tired eyes. (Bridge - Slowed Beat, Spoken Word Feel) Now I stand tall, no fear in my soul, Turned all that hurt into stories untold. Every tear fell, made me who I am, A fighter, survivor, a grown-up man. (Final Chorus - Heavy Beat Drop, Final Hook) Pale green walls and a world so small, Now I see light when the night time falls. Ain’t lost in the pain, yeah, I found my stand, Holdin’ on tight with these calloused hands. Ain’t no silver spoon, no rich man’s name, Just a heart full of fight in this broken frame. The past won’t own me, I refuse to crawl, I’ll break these chains off these pale green walls. (Outro - Fades Out) I’ll break these chains… put off these green walls.
