Verse 1 Alarm clock ringin’, sunrise on her face Packin’ lunches, kiss the scars, tie the shoes with the lace Baby hair still messy, she pretendin’ she okay Bills on the counter screamin’ louder every day Coffee cold, mind racin’, smile stitched for the scene Playin’ “normal” in a world that don’t see what she’s seen Teachers think she tired, neighbors think she shy They don’t hear the prayers she whisper every time she drive She got dreams in a drawer, hope folded with pain Resume say potential, bank account say “insane” She a queen in disguise with a crack in her crown Tryna hold the whole sky while the roof cave down Hook Two lives, one heart, and it’s tearin’ her apart Halo in the daylight, heavy sin after dark She don’t wanna be this, but the rent want it paid Fightin’ God and herself every move that she make Yeah, she trapped in the middle of wrong and survive Tryna keep her soul clean while she feedin’ a child Two lives, one truth, and it hurt every night She just tryna see tomorrow in the middle of the fight Verse 2 Sun go down, phone buzz, different name on the screen Same hands that held a bottle now weighin’ out dreams Heart beat loud, hoodie up, streets whisper her name She hate how fast respect come attached to the game She don’t sleep with the money , it burn in her chest Countin’ sins with the cash, feelin’ cursed and blessed Every deal feel heavy, every step feel wrong But her baby need shoes and the fridge stay long She tell herself, “ Just tonight, then I’m out, I swear” But tomorrow keep knockin’ like it live right there Mirror talks back ruthless, sayin’, “Who you become?” She wipe tears off her face, still reload the run Hook Two lives, one heart, and it’s tearin’ her apart Halo in the daylight, heavy sin after dark She don’t wanna be this, but the rent want it paid Fightin’ God and herself every move that she make Yeah, she trapped in the middle of wrong and survive Tryna keep her soul clean while she feedin’ a child Two lives, one truth, and it hurt every night She just tryna see tomorrow in the middle of the fight Bridge She ain’t evil, she exhausted Ain’t heartless, she just cornered World quick to judge the scars Never ask what they cost her If love paid the rent She’d never touch the street If hope came with interest She’d be rich off belief Verse 3 One day she gon’ break free, yeah she holdin’ that vision Teach her kid about light, not the dark she been livin’ Every sacrifice logged, every tear got a name She survivin’, not proud, but she playin’ the game She still pray for forgiveness with blood on her hands Tryna build somethin’ clean on corrupted land And if she make it out, she gon’ tell it straight How a woman stayed human in a world that don’t wait Outro / Hook (soft) Two lives… but one soul still alive Still fightin’ for tomorrow, still reachin’ for right She ain’t the story they tell, she the truth they ignore A mother tryna win a war she never signed up for
