Still standing

I just wanna feel like mine again
No pressure on my body when I lay my head
No assumptions every time I breathe
Just let me be… just let me be

I been holdin’ everybody up
While I’m runnin’ low, feelin’ outta love
I don’t need nobody takin’ me
Just let me be… just let me be

⸻

[Verse 1 – rap]
Early morning grind, yeah I’m back on the road
Got the weight of a house, still I carry the load
Everybody need me, but nobody sees me
Built a whole life up, still it don’t free me

Dogs in the back, they the only ones real
They don’t cross no lines, they just love how I feel
I don’t gotta explain, I don’t gotta defend
They don’t take my space, they don’t push, they don’t bend

Shower just to breathe, try to wash off the stress
But somehow even that turn into somethin’ else
Like my body ain’t mine, like I owe every move
Like I can’t just exist, gotta always approve

Nah… I’m done with that
Every line gettin’ crossed, I’m pullin’ it back

⸻

[Hook – R&B melodic]
I just wanna feel like mine again
No pressure on my body when I lay my head
No assumptions every time I breathe
Just let me be… just let me be

I been holdin’ everybody up
While I’m runnin’ low, feelin’ outta love
I don’t need nobody takin’ me
Just let me be… just let me be

⸻

[Verse 2 – rap, deeper]
Thirty years deep, yeah I played my role
Held it all together while it shattered my soul
Now I’m wakin’ up, see the truth in the pain
I was givin’ too much, now I’m takin’ my name

Daughter need strength, yeah I see her fightin’
Tryna keep her stable while the world stay wildin’
I’m the one she look to, I can’t let her fall
Even when I’m breakin’, I still answer the call

Back brace tight, still I show up to work
Pain in every step but I bury the hurt
They don’t see the nights, they don’t see the cost
They don’t see the battles, all the shit that I lost

But I’m still right here… yeah I’m still that one
And I ain’t done yet, I ain’t close to done

⸻

[Bridge – melodic, emotional]
One day… I’m gon’ have my own space
No more walkin’ on eggshells every day
No more givin’ pieces of me away
I’m comin’ back… I’m findin’ my way

⸻

[Final Hook – stronger, layered]
I just wanna feel like mine again
No pressure on my body when I lay my head
No assumptions every time I breathe
Just let me be… just let me be

I been holdin’ everybody up
While I’m runnin’ low, feelin’ outta love
I don’t need nobody takin’ me
Just let me be… just let me be
