STILL I SING

STILL I SING Yeah… Wrong roads, cold nights Lost my way, lost my light But I’m still here… I still sing Raised in the streets where the cold hearts meet Older homies taught me how to lie and cheat Running every night, never cared ’bout sleep They said good boys lose, only bad boys eat Scared of their judgment, scared to be me Thought doing right was a sign of the weak Chasing fake respect, couldn’t find my peace Had a broken soul nobody could see Mama cried every night when I came home Daddy hit me hard, left me feeling alone Swore I’d change, but when the daylight was gone I was back with the crew till the break of dawn I was lost, I was blind Had these demons in my mind Had a dream I kept inside Never thought I’d see the light I still sing with these scars on my soul Broken wings but I’m learning to fly Lost my way down a dark, lonely road Found my voice in the dead of night I still sing, let the whole world know I ain’t perfect but I’m still alive Let ’em hate, let ’em laugh, let ‘em talk They can’t take this dream of mine Got older, got colder, weight on my shoulder Tried a nine-to-five, couldn’t keep it together Back to dirty money, thought I knew no better Had cash in my hands but my heart felt empty Sick of my reflection, sick of all my lies Sick of seeing tears in my mama’s eyes Had a dream to sing, kept it locked inside Too ashamed to tell ’em, so I lived a lie Then I met a singer I admired for years Told ‘em all my sins, all my pain, all my fears Thought they’d walk away when the truth appeared But they held me close and said, “Listen here” “You ain’t your mistakes, you ain’t your past You don’t need to hide behind a mask You don’t need permission to chase your dreams Just be yourself, you’re enough for me” Those words hit deep, broke the chains in me For the first time I felt I could finally breathe Took the mic, let my broken heart speak Now I sing for the kid I used to be I still sing with these scars on my soul Broken wings but I’m learning to fly Lost my way down a dark, lonely road Found my voice in the dead of night I still sing, let the whole world know I ain’t perfect but I’m still alive Let ’em hate, let ’em laugh, let ‘em talk They can’t take this dream of mine Now I stand tall, I don’t live for their praise All my darkest nights brought me here today If you got a dream, don’t throw it away You only get one life, don’t let it fade And if you got no dreams, that’s okay too There’s a million different roads waiting for you Don’t let their opinions decide what you do Your life is yours, so live your truth I was lost, now I’m free I’m becoming who I wanna be You don’t need a perfect past To find a dream that lasts I still sing… Yeah, I still sing… #ai #aiartist #aivideo #aimusic #music #rap #hiphop #english
