Lyrics

Yeah I been gone for a while, and honestly I can say that I have missed it

The speaker acknowledges their absence and expresses missing the activity or environment.

No I won't cap on you all now, I'm worried that nobody still thinks I'm gifted

Concerns about others not recognizing their talents, worried about being underestimated.

Almost a year I was ghost, I'm hoping that some of you all still see the vision

Reflecting on a long absence, hoping others still understand the speaker's goals.

Saw all the comments saying "where did he go?" and I could have replied but I didn't

Not responding to queries about their absence, possibly due to feeling ashamed or uncertain.

I was ashamed that I couldn't say when I was jumping back in it for sure

Shame for not confidently declaring their return to the activity.

Was still with my parents, with so many people in here was no time to record

Living with parents, lack of space or time for recording.

At first I accepted it for what it was, too content with not yearning for more

Initially accepting the situation without seeking more.

But then I had started to notice my dreams had gone up with one foot out the door

Realization that dreams or ambitions were slipping away.

That hit me harder than anything I had ever been hit with before

An impactful realization, a significant emotional blow.

Then all of my feelings of fine got replaced with a sadness and dreadful remorse

Transition from feeling fine to experiencing deep sadness and regret.

Usually I quit when it starts to get hard 'cause I'd rather do that than endure

Tendency to quit when things get tough, but a sense of determination to persist.

The feeling of failing but something was telling me that I should stay on the course

A conflicted feeling about quitting versus staying on the path.

I turned my back on everybody who'd given a damn about me and my life

Turning away from people who cared, isolating oneself.

The count was at nine so that means I had one second left to get back up and fight

A sense of urgency, realizing time is running out to make a comeback.

I know that it's gonna take time, I can't make it all up in just one single night

Understanding that recovery or progress will take time.

But I know that if I'm gonna do it I got to stop going against what is right, so

Acknowledging the need to align with what is morally right to move forward.

I stay true to me

Reaffirmation of commitment to staying true to oneself amidst challenges and setbacks.

I stay true to me

-

I stay true to me

-

True to me

-

True to me

-

I stay true to me

-

I stay true to me

True to me

True to me

-

I picked up more hours at work and just started saving hell of bread

-

Told myself if I wanna get back to it I need do every little thing I can

-

That meant reducing money I was spending and increasing money that I'm bringing in

-

Sacrifice every little thing right now to bring back what brought happiness inside my head

-

The thing that saved me hell of times from suicide, how the fuck did I neglect that?

-

The thing that helped me with expressing myself, it's been so long I took a few steps back

-

Progression is slow got a long way to go, I lost time that I will never get back

-

Got to do what I can to get back where I was to pick up where I'd willingly left at

-

I knew that I had to get out if I wanted to pick the pen back up again

-

I put my head down and just grinded it out, for my sanity I would pretend

-

That I had no throwing issues with throwing away precious months of my life for a ben

-

Every day was the same, my whole life had turned gray, all the days were just starting to blend

-

324 days is how long I went without music

-

To everyone that is a year but it felt like eternity, I was gonna lose it

-

I left all my bullshit excuses behind, now discipline's what I am choosing

-

My word don't mean much but I'll change that with time, now I'm gonna just go out and prove it so

-

I stay true to me

-

I stay true to me

-

I stay true to me

-

True to me

-

True to me

-

I stay true to me

-

I stay true to me

-

I stay true to me

True to me

I stay true to me
