One Mo' Day...
[Instrumental intro – Dj turntable spins record cutting and scratching rapid and frequently whole song and deep 808 sub bass] [Instrumental solo sets the mellow and rapid to slow mood for the whole song vibe] Alarm goes off but I been up for hours Lying in the dark counting all my scars Ceiling got no answers but I ask it anyway Wondering how I made it to another day Coffee bitter black like the mood I'm in Trying to find the place where I end and begin Mirror show a stranger wearing my skin Same old war outside, same old war within Spent a decade running from the quiet Every time it found me I would start a riot Noise was just a shield I used to hide behind Fear of what I'd find if I slowed down my mind Chased the dollar, chased the high, chased the crowd Said I was ambitious but I was just loud Lost people in the process, burned the bridge and walked Now I sit in silence with the truth I blocked I don't pray like I used to Don't believe in much these days But something keeps me breathing When I'm lost inside the haze Not sure if it's God or just the will to see tomorrow Maybe both, maybe neither Maybe just the fight to borrow One more day One more day Money never loved me back the way I loved it Poured my whole identity inside a budget Bet on myself when nobody else was bettin' Still got scars from every lesson life was settin' Watched the ones who played it safe stay safe and empty Watched the ones who risked it all lose everything There ain't no clean road to where you really wanna go You either bleed for it or you never really know Scared money never moved, it just sat and rotted Every dream I ever had I nearly talked myself out of it Stood at every edge and talked myself back from the ledge Not because I was brave Because I was more afraid of mediocre than the fall More afraid of silence than the noise of it all So I jumped And I fell And I climbed back up from hell And I jumped again I don't pray like I used to Don't believe in much these days But something keeps me breathing When I'm lost inside the haze Not sure if it's God or just the will to see tomorrow Maybe both, maybe neither Maybe just the fight to borrow One more day One more day There were nights the bottle felt like company Whiskey filling spaces where the people used to be Told myself it's temporary, just to take the edge off One more glass to quiet what I couldn't switch off But the morning always came with double what I buried Every sip on credit, every feeling getting carried Forward into daylight with nowhere left to hide Just a man and all the things he swallowed deep inside I smiled through the worst of it Nobody even knew The ones who look the strongest Are the ones most overdue For a breakdown, for a reckoning, for someone asking twice Not just how you doing but are you paying the price For all the weight you carry like it's normal to be numb Like functioning through damage is the same as overcoming I ain't overcome a damn thing I just learned to walk with it Learned to let the darkness in without letting it run it Stopped pretending I was fine when I was barely standing Stopped performing for a crowd that wasn't even watching Stripped it back to nothing and I built it slow from there Not for anyone who's watching Just because I'm still here I don't pray like I used to Don't believe in much these days But something keeps me breathing When I'm lost inside the haze Not sure if it's God or just the will to see tomorrow Maybe both, maybe neither Maybe just the fight to borrow One more day One more day [bass guitar solos with electric guitars; epic sad and nostalgic rock and roll slides] Past don't live in any room you walk into It lives in how you flinch at certain tones of voice In how you second guess the people who are good to you In how you sabotage the things you didn't choose Future ain't a place you're gonna get to and feel safe Safe is something you decide to build right where you stand Not when the money right, not when the timing perfect Not when everything aligned the way you planned Right here is all there is Right now is all you got This breath, this floor, this weight you carry This is the whole plot Not the version where you win and finally feel worthy Not the highlight reel you play inside your head at thirty Just this — flawed and unfinished and still moving Just this — broken in the places worth improving I don't pray like I used to Don't believe in much these days But something keeps me breathing When I'm lost inside the haze Not sure if it's God or just the will to see tomorrow Maybe both, maybe neither Maybe just the fight to borrow One more day One more day… That's all I asked for One more day… And here I am [Final instrumental solo] Still standing in the wreckage Still building with the scraps Still scared of all the same things Still finding my way back Still here… Still here… Still here…
