Verse 1

New day, same weight, got it on my back still

Walk out the door, tell myself I can’t stand still

I know how they talk when they see you move different

Smile in your face, then switch when it gets real

I been staying low, I don’t say much now

Too many fake hands always reaching out

Too many cold nights, too many letdowns

That’s why I move clean and I keep my head down

Hook

I came in alone, I’m still on that time

Eyes on the road, I don’t look behind

Too many people love playing both sides

Too many words, not enough in real life

I keep it close, I don’t open up wide

I know they watch, yeah, I see it in their eyes

I been through enough, I got nothing to hide

But I still stay sharp, ‘cause they switch all the time

Verse 2

Late nights, no sleep, just light from the screen

Mind run fast when the whole room’s quiet

Some days I feel like nobody gets me

Still I don’t stop, I just work in silence

You can keep the crowd, I don’t need that now

Half of that love disappear when you down

I seen it first hand, I don’t guess no more

That’s why I cut ties and I lock that door

I got pain in my chest, but I wear it calm

Got names in my head that I still hold on

Missed calls, dead air, things I can’t undo

So I go even harder with something to prove

Hook

I came in alone, I’m still on that time

Eyes on the road, I don’t look behind

Too many people love playing both sides

Too many words, not enough in real life

I keep it close, I don’t open up wide

I know they watch, yeah, I see it in their eyes

I been through enough, I got nothing to hide

But I still stay sharp, ‘cause they switch all the time

Bridge

I’m not who I was and I know that now

Too much went wrong, had to figure it out

Built from the mess, I was stuck in before

Now if it feels fake, I don’t let it get close

Final Hook

I came in alone, I’m still on that time

Heart got cold, but the fire survived

Too many people love playing both sides

So I keep my space and protect my mind

I keep it real, I don’t force no ties

I learned real fast who was only around

Still ten toes down when it all goes wild

Still right here and I’m holding my ground
