this one’s about toxic love, running in circles, and getting left in the rain.  
a story of detachment, heartbreak, and the weight of being curved.

She Curved Me

You Healed Me Without Knowing

to meet you

Why you cant treat me right part 3

Nobody 

[HOOK] 
Ain't nobody— 
Nobody, no one, 
Ain't nobody ever, no never 
Nobody understands me. 
Not even me.

[VERSE 1] 
I keep writing, just hustlin' 
Like nobody, no one 
Gonna write the struggle just like me (Whoever that may be). 
They don't understand— 
No one coming for me, 
Tryna save everyone else, 
Whole world, never asked. 
But ain't nobody, no one 
Tryna save me. 
Not even me.

[VERSE 2] 
Let's talk straight, like 100— 
Don't care what you think, 
I'm telling y'all: our days are numbered. 
We all gon' die. 

Glad we got that out the way.
Too much? 
So what? 
How y'all be living these days? 
If life's so nice, why we all listening— 
Why am I writing a song that 
Performs tragedy, like “I'm all alone”
(In being so fucking lonely?)
“Nobody understands me”—
(they just know They alone too.)

Called you on the telephone, 
Thought we might talk about 
How alone we is, miss the connection, 
Just passing time, trying to forget 
How it is.

[HOOK] 
Ain't nobody— 
Nobody, no one, 
Ain't nobody ever, no never 
Nobody understands me. 
Not even me.

[VERSE 3] 
Just how fucking sad life's become— 
Every day feel like people rearranging graves, 
Rewriting obituaries, 
Calculating how much you gotta pay 
And for how long if you want to die with dignity.
Meaning: you ain't die empty-handed, 
Paid funeral costs at minimum, 
Foot the bill for the living like you still kicking, 
Still got worth, even decaying in the dirt.
Even humor gone dark— 
Jokes sound like self-soothing, 
Laughter like anxious chatter. 
How'd we get so fucking scared? 
How'd we grow so fucking backwards?

[BRIDGE] 
Ain't nobody living! 
Boy! I ain't playing! 
I know! That's the fucking problem. 
What we all doing here!?
Scared of living 'cause we might break life, Scared to play—"don't touch that, 
Might not be able to return it at full price."
I watch children smash their toys 
All the fucking time. 
Why? For fun. To see what happens. 
'Cause how else you gonna learn 
What it feels like to build a block tower 
And knock it down, laugh instead of cry?
But we grew up. 
Now we treat life like a museum piece,
People like Trophies,
Paper like Vitality,
— Look but don't touch, 
Own but don’t earn.
Teach but don’t learn.
Explore but don’t make the wrong turn.
Hoard but don't use, 
Photograph but don't see
What’s right there in front of me. 
Got the whole toy store, 
Won't open a single box.


[HOOK] 
Ain't nobody— 
Nobody, no one, 
Ain't nobody ever, no never 
Nobody understands me. 
Not even me.
Keep me on the shelf, keep me safe— 
Don't touch, don't break, don't change. 
Ain't coming down 'til I know 
I'll never die Or feel no pain.
Ain't nobody understand me, 
But we all are so fucking lonely,
Just the same.

[OUTRO ] 
I understand you. 
You understand me. 
We all understand this— 
That's the tragedy. 
We all alone together, 
Too scared to reach, 
Too scared to touch, 
Too scared to break the glass 
Between me and you.
Besides, it’s different for me—
Better alone and unique.

(Pause)
Hey. Yeah, you.
I love life. It's beautiful. 
Every breath brings 
The pleasure of being alive.
I can be dark as fuck— 
Safe territory, easy peasy. 
Cynical, nihilistic, accusatory— 
That's old hat. 
Ain't even need to imagine that.
I love living. 
I'm happy—despite 
All the struggle and inversion.
Just wish y'all would stop your violence, Stop calling this a game. 
Nobody's playing—you dominating. 
Not the same.
So fucking scared you make abstraction The only real thing.
I'm happy 
Because I know what it feel like to be.
You just a dead end, trying to freeze the world— 
Too scared to live, refuse to die. 
That ain't transcendence, that's avoidance At any price.

Hollow Echoes

Somebody Will

“It’s Your Shadow In The Hallway” is a hip-hop & R&B duet built on intimacy, distance, and the kind of memories that still walk through your home long after someone’s gone. Acoustic guitar opens the track like a soft confession, then the drums slide in as the emotion builds.

A male rapper spills years of bottled-up truth missing someone he shouldn’t still miss while the female vocalist answers with a soulful echo of what their connection used to be. The result is a late-night soundtrack for anyone scrolling old photos, replaying old love, or wondering who they might’ve been in another lifetime.

Warm. Nostalgic. Honest.
If you’ve ever missed someone quietly, this is that feeling turned into a song.
