thought she was the one

Back in the day, I had a crush, she was the one, Playground vibes, under the sun, we’d run, Thought about her every night, dreams vivid and bright, Now I’m grown, stacking paper, living that life. Saw her in the hall, heart racing, I’m bold, Told my homies, “Watch me, I’m about to unfold,” Confidence high, no fear in my eyes, Back then I was shy, now I’m ready to rise. She had that smile, lit up the whole room, Grew up, now I’m chasing, never feeling the gloom, From kickball games to late-night schemes, Got my mind on the prize, yeah, I’m chasing my dreams. Used to write her notes, now I’m spitting these bars, From childhood crush to my journey with stars, So if you see her, tell her I’m doing alright, Living my truth, shining bright in the night. When I was a kid, dreams painted on my wall, Chasin' after shadows, never scared to stand tall, Used to run the block, feelin' fierce, feelin' free, In a world full of chaos, it was just me and my dreams.
