ROUGH (demo)

Truth Is

Short Description
A raw, vulnerable confession about battling addiction, loss, self-doubt, and the weight of becoming someone your loved ones still need. It’s about surviving the parts of yourself that broke, owning the scars, and choosing day by day—to keep going for the people who give your life meaning.

HOOK
Truth is, I don't say this in the daylight
Truth is, I've been learnin' how to stay right
Truth is, I lost pieces of myself on the way
Truth is, I'm still here but I don't feel the same today
Truth is, every scar that I hide got a voice
Truth is, I still slip but I'm still makin' a choice
Truth is, if it wasn't for their love I'd be gone
Truth is, I keep breathin' just to walk 'em home

VERSE
I was chasin' every high like it owed me somethin’
Now my body keep the tabs, every bill keep comin’
Doc say you ain't built for all that wear and tear
But it's hard to let go when the numb feel fair

Lost a piece of my frame on a bad, dark night
Still learnin' how to stand when it don't feel right
Mirror show a different man, I don't know that face
Tryna love who I am in this broken space

I remember when my pride used to fit just fine
Now I tug on my hoodie just to hide my mind
I've been wrestlin' with bottles, with the shakes, with shame
Tryna give up what kills me but it know my name

Every sunrise feel heavy but I clock back in
Hold my breath in the deep, then I fight, I swim
I ain't hero, I'm a sinner with a beat-up soul
But I'm here, and that alone feel like reachin' a goal

HOOK
Truth is, I don't say this in the daylight
Truth is, I've been learnin' how to stay right
Truth is, I lost pieces of myself on the way
Truth is, I'm still here but I don't feel the same today
Truth is, every scar that I hide got a voice
Truth is, I still slip but I'm still makin' a choice
Truth is, if it wasn't for their love I'd be gone
Truth is, I keep breathin' just to walk 'em home

VERSE
Some nights I wanna ghost out, leave it all on read
Leave the pain, leave the bills, leave the noise in my head
But I see little eyes lookin' up, need light
So I swallow down the dark, try to hold on tight

I be livin' different lives when I close my eyes
Walkin' streets with two feet, no hospital vibes
In my dreams I'm the me that I used to respect
Then I wake and the weight hit my chest, no rest

I've been smilin' in rooms like I'm doin' just fine
Whole time tryna keep from flatlinin' inside
If I vanish from the text, know I still got love
Just been busy tryna heal what I covered up

Yeah, when the world go mute, old echoes break through
Little scenes in my head playin’ low, no loop
Just a glimpse of a life that never saw the light
So I swallow what I feel, let it drift with the night

HOOK
Truth is, I don't say this in the daylight
Truth is, I've been learnin' how to stay right
Truth is, I lost pieces of myself on the way
Truth is, I'm still here but I don't feel the same today
Truth is, every scar that I hide got a voice
Truth is, I still slip but I'm still makin' a choice
Truth is, if it wasn't for their love I'd be gone
Truth is, I keep breathin' just to walk 'em home

[Verse]

Foot stompin', echoes ricochet off the block

Tongues twistin' tighter than a padlocked Glock

Spit venom, a cobra's curse in my talk

Teeth sharp, jaws snap, bite clean through the chalk



Got a flow that ripple, earthquakes in my lungs

Drums thump harder than a warlord's drums

Fingers on the pulse, city beats in my veins

A labyrinth of lines like I'm lost in the maze



[Chorus]

Echo stomp, echo stomp, heavy on the concrete

Echo stomp, echo stomp, thunder in the heartbeat

Echo stomp, echo stomp, can you feel the quake?

Echo stomp, echo stomp, every step we take



[Verse 2]

Mic a matchstick, burn bars to the ash

World spin dizzy, words whip, tongue lash

Head noddin', heads roll, rhythm like a guillotine

My lines cut deep, they sharper than a crime scene



Pavement crack, syllables split the street

Shadowbox the air, fists swing to the beat

Bass boom rumble, feel it under your toes

The cadence claps back, and the energy grows



[Bridge]

A stomp echoes louder in the silence of the night

Feet pound rebellion, the rhythm ignites

Shadows leap, walls tremble, the sound takes flight

Stompin' till the moon hides from the might

Echo Stomp

Party on the open sea
