[Intro – Smooth R&B | 0:00–0:12]
Yeah, yeah...
Funny how the ones you love disappear,
When you start chasing dreams instead of fear.
I ain't changed, I just learned to see clear,
Lost a couple friends just to make it here.
[Chorus – Melodic R&B | 0:12–0:36]
I lost friends just to get where I'm at,
Gave 'em my heart, never got nothing back.
I was down bad, they ain't care about that,
Now they see me rising, wanna double right back.
Oh, I cried tears nobody could see,
Had a whole crowd, still nobody with me.
I lost friends, but I found who I'd be,
Sometimes losing people sets your spirit free.
[Verse 1 – Boom Bap Rap | 0:36–1:08]
Used to split my last dollar with the same crew,
Now I walk past strangers that I once knew.
Funny how loyalty can turn into lies,
Had to learn the hard way through the pain in their eyes.
I was there when their whole world fell,
But when mine broke down, couldn't nobody tell.
Phone stayed quiet when I needed that call,
Had to build my own ladder when they watched me fall.
Late nights, cold streets, headphones on,
Writing down my pain till the sunrise dawned.
Never asked for a crown, just a little respect,
Now I'm chasing better days with no looking back.
[Chorus – Soulful R&B | 1:08–1:32]
I lost friends just to get where I'm at,
Gave 'em my heart, never got nothing back.
I was down bad, they ain't care about that,
Now they see me rising, wanna double right back.
Oh, I cried tears nobody could see,
Had a whole crowd, still nobody with me.
I lost friends, but I found who I'd be,
Sometimes losing people sets your spirit free.
[Verse 2 – Emotional Boom Bap | 1:32–2:04]
I ain't bitter, I'm just wiser these days,
Had to cut a few ties, find a better way.
Some were only around when the good times stayed,
When the rain came down, they all walked away.
I remember those nights with my back to the wall,
Everybody had a number, nobody picked up my call.
Had to turn all the heartbreak into these songs,
Had to figure out myself when it all went wrong.
Now I'm standing on my own, got a clearer view,
Ain't no hate in my heart, I just outgrew you.
If I make it to the top, I won't laugh at your pain,
I'll just thank you for the lessons that came with the rain.
[Final Chorus – R&B | 2:04–2:24]
I lost friends just to get where I'm at,
Had to lose a little love, ain't no taking it back.
I was broken inside, had to heal those cracks,
Now I'm moving toward the light, ain't no turning back.
I lost friends, but I found my peace,
All those heavy memories finally letting me breathe.
I lost friends, but I found who I'd be,
Sometimes losing people sets your spirit free.
[Outro – Soft Soul | 2:24–2:30]
I ain't mad you disappeared...
Just wish you could've made it here.
