Intro:
(Short Instrumental Intro)
Verse 1:
Yeah, seven years old, started off in a dark place,
Crackin' jokes, but it’s a mask on my face,
Failures stacking like bricks, I can’t escape,
Thought I knew it all, but man, I lost my grace.
Pushed friends away like they were just another test,
Toxic vibes in my veins, ego grew like a fest,
Every ‘failure’ printed like it's tattooed on my chest,
Thought I was the best, but I’m just a jumbled mess.
Hook:
It’s a long road back, can’t forget the facts,
Lost so many, it’s like I’m stuck in a trap,
Trying to find my way, gotta pick up the slack,
Reflecting on the choices, now I’m digging through the cracks.
Verse 2:
Turned 31, it hit me like a freight train,
Living in shadows, dancing in my own rain,
Isolation’s my friend, but it drives me insane,
Thought that I was winning, guess I’m just a pawn in the game.
Trying to break free, but the chains are tight,
Learning from my failures, gotta step into the light,
Witty words play, yeah, I’m ready to fight,
Time to open up and finally ignite.
Hook:
It’s a long road back, can’t forget the facts,
Lost so many, it’s like I’m stuck in a trap,
Trying to find my way, gotta pick up the slack,
Reflecting on the choices, now I’m digging through the cracks.
Verse 3:
At 32, the mirror shows a lonely face,
Realizing life’s a marathon, not just a race,
Got my mind working overtime, trying to embrace,
All the love I pushed away, now I'm begging for grace.
Thought I had it all, but I was building on sand,
Now I’m fighting demons with a mic in my hand,
Each line’s a step, yeah, I gotta take a stand,
Reaching out to others, try to build a real band.
Hook:
It’s a long road back, can’t forget the facts,
Lost so many, it’s like I’m stuck in a trap,
Trying to find my way, gotta pick up the slack,
Reflecting on the choices, now I’m digging through the cracks.

Theme: (This Rap Song is about: how I've been through too many failures from 7 years old up to 31 years old, how I push people away because I was toxic and thinking that I know
everything. Now as 32 I realize that I'm very isolated and it's very difficult to bounce back and be normal).
