"Half a Chance" is an intimate, emotionally rich R&B ballad wrapped in lo-fi warmth and jazz-tinted soul. Built around soft male vocals, airy reverb, subtle string flourishes, and minimal percussion, the track balances vulnerability and groove in a way that resonates deeply with casual listeners and romantics alike.

With warm guitar chords, Rhodes keys, and a whisper-soft beat, this song paints the portrait of a quiet love—the kind that's never flashy, just honest and enduring. It's about the people who love from the sidelines, who ask for no spotlight, just half a chance to be seen.

If you’re into candlelit thoughts, rain-on-window energy, or the kind of music you write confessions to but never send, this song’s for you.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You walk in like a Sunday I wasn’t ready for
Like silence dressed in perfume I can't afford
You laugh and the whole room forgets me
But I still memorize the way you sip your coffee

I ain't the guy with the perfect line
Just a borrowed hoodie and too much time
You wear Chanel like it’s second skin
I just wear my heart, thin

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I’m just background noise
Another “hi” from a hundred boys
But if I got one second of your time
I’d hold it like a prayer in my spine

[Chorus]
If I had half a chance, I’d treat it like gold
Wouldn’t flex, wouldn’t lie, just hold
Your time like vinyl, soft and slow
Let you be wild, never control

If I had half a chance, I’d learn your name
In every language that feels like rain
I’d never ask you to dim your flame
Just maybe, one day… you’d feel the same

[Verse 2]
I’m not the kind they write songs about
Not tall enough, not loud, not clout
But I see you in the in-between
Where real hearts beat behind the screen

You post sunsets, I write songs
Maybe we’re just a verse too long
But if grace ever trips your step
Let it fall where I’ve quietly kept…

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah maybe I’m just fading light
In your sky full of neon nights
But if you ever feel alone
Girl, I’ll be waiting — stone by stone

[Chorus]
If I had half a chance, I’d treat it like gold
Wouldn’t flex, wouldn’t lie, just hold
Your time like vinyl, soft and slow
Let you be wild, never control

If I had half a chance, I’d learn your name
In every language that feels like rain
I’d never ask you to dim your flame
Just maybe, one day… you’d feel the same

[Bridge]
I’m not the guy in your stories
Not the one in your dreams
But I’d be the quiet kind of loyal
The one who sees behind the screen

You shine in places I can’t reach
But girl, I’m learning how to speak
In your rhythm, in your light
Even if it takes all night

[Final Chorus]
If I had half a chance, I’d keep it slow
Just enough for your heart to know
That I’m not perfect, but I’m true
And every line I write’s for you

[Outro]
Just half a chance…
And I’d give you whole of me.

"Nicotine" drifts like smoke through an empty room—a mellow trap-soul confession drenched in memory and melancholy. Blending low-fi textures, emotional lyricism, and smoky melodies, this track finds the artist wrestling with routine vices and quiet battles, searching for meaning through the haze.

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Sometimes the smoke’s the only friend that listens…
Burnin’ through the nights when I’m feelin’ less than me.

[Verse 1]
Ashtray full, it’s a daily ritual,
Tryna numb out the noise, but it’s habitual (yeah)
Stuck in this loop, same old ritual,
Breathin’ in doubt, exhalin’ the usual.

Late night calls I never made,
Texts I deleted but still replay (play)
Nicotine’s a blanket when the world gets cold,
But it don’t fix the cracks in my soul.

I’m just a kid tryna find a way,
Feelin’ lost but too scared to say (say)
These habits got me in a tight squeeze,
But I’m still tryna breathe, still tryna believe.

(ad-libs: “yeah”, “uh huh”, “feel that”)

[Hook]
Nicotine, got me floatin’ in the grey (in the grey)
Tryna find peace but it’s driftin’ away (away, yeah)
Lost in this smoke but I’m tryna stay (tryna stay)
Holdin’ on tight to the hope I crave (hope I crave)

(ad-libs: “woo”, “yeah yeah”, “ooh”, “let’s go”)

[Verse 2]
Inhale deep, feel the weight drop slow,
Clouds cover dreams but I still wanna grow (grow)
Nicotine kissin’ my lungs like a lie,
But it’s the only truth when I’m feelin’ dry.

Messy days, darker nights, no clear sign,
Chasin’ light in a fog, tryna redefine (yeah)
I’m fallin’ but I’m learnin’ what breaks and mends,
Addicted to the smoke, but addicted to the end.

I ain’t perfect, just imperfectly alive,
Fightin’ through the mess just to survive (uh)
One puff closer to who I’m meant to be,
Slowly burnin’ my way back to me.

(ad-libs: “feel that”, “yeah”, “uh”, “let’s ride”)

[Bridge]
Caught in between the highs and lows,
Nicotine whispers what no one knows,
I’m tangled in the haze but still I grow,
Messy life, messy love, but it’s my road.

[Hook]
Nicotine, got me floatin’ in the grey (floatin’ in the grey)
Tryna find peace but it’s driftin’ away (driftin’ away, yeah)
Lost in this smoke but I’m tryna stay (tryna stay)
Holdin’ on tight to the hope I crave (hope I crave)

(ad-libs: “woo”, “yeah yeah”, “ooh”, “let’s go”)

[Outro]
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll breathe a little clearer...
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find a little me.

8 - Nicotine

"Reboot" is a stripped-down, emotionally rich Lo-Fi R&B ballad that hits with the weight of three summers of silence and a heart that never moved on. Combining Soul Trap sensibilities with a Neo-Soul flavor, this track captures a raw, unapologetic male vulnerability, peeling back the layers of pride to reveal the kind of love that lingers far past its expiration date. This is not a flex track. This is real emotion, real regret, and real devotion—for listeners who crave something honest, nostalgic, and emotionally immersive.


Lyrics:

[Intro]
Three summers passed.
But I’m still here.
Yeah… I said I’d wait.
And maybe I was stupid for that.
But I meant it.

[Verse 1]
It’s been three years, girl, I counted the days
Saw your name flash, but I looked away
You said he’s good, and I smiled a bit
But I ain’t moved on, yeah, not one bit

Coffee turns cold at this corner café
Where we made promises we couldn't replay
They say closure's a lie we tell to cope
But I made a vow — and I’m holding that rope

[Pre-Chorus]
(Yeah...) My boys say I’m stuck in the past
(But...) They never felt love that lasts
I gave you space, I gave you time
But damn, you gave your heart, and it ain’t mine

[Hook]
I’m still here, girl, I never moved
Still got your playlist in my room
You got a man, yeah, I see you smile
But I’ve been waitin’ all this while
(Still here, yeah...)
I said forever — and I meant it too
Even if I’m waitin' just to lose
I’m still here... oh I’m still here...

[Verse 2]
I don’t text, I don’t call, but I still care
Caught your story with him — but I won’t stare
They say time heals, but time’s been cruel
When love’s this deep, I can’t play it cool

Your scent still lives in my favorite coat
That night you cried, your hand grabbed my throat
Said you needed space to breathe and grow
So why's my heart the one left cold?

[Pre-Chorus]
(Still...) I'm driving by where we used to meet
(Still...) Got your name saved in my heartbeat
I ain’t mad, I ain't bitter, just...
Still hangin' on to what once was us

[Hook]
I’m still here, girl, I never moved (No...)
Still got your photo on my roof
He holds your hand, yeah, I let that slide
But I’m still waiting, girl, no lie
(Still here... yeah)
I made that promise — it wasn’t for show
Even if I’m the only one who won’t let go
I’m still here... oh I’m still here...

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the fool...
Maybe I’m just loyal to the ghost of you
Maybe your love was a lesson,
But I keep attending the same class with no progression

Friends moved on, I stayed in rewind
You moved up, I stayed behind
Maybe this ain’t love, maybe it’s pride
Or maybe I just ain't good at goodbyes

[Final Hook]
I’m still here, girl, yeah I still believe
Even if that love won’t come back to me
You say you’re happy, and that’s alright
But I’m still stuck on that goodbye
(Still here...)
I’m still the man who said "I'll wait"
Even if it’s just me at the gate
I’m still here... still here...

9 - Still Here

“Reboot” is a smooth, soul-tinged audio detox — a healing anthem for anyone who’s ever hit their emotional limit and needed a system reset. Merging the depth of alternative R&B with the grit of spoken word, the track feels like a deep exhale after years of tension.

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Yeah… sometimes you gotta crash...
Just to restart.
This ain't running away—
This is me, walking home... to myself.
Let go.

[Verse 1]
I closed a thousand tabs in my head,
Too much noise, couldn’t hear what my soul said.
Burnt bridges, screenshots, unsent texts,
Held on to pain like it made me blessed.

But now I breathe like I’m not guilty,
Delete the version that they built me.
Ctrl + Alt my energy,
Restart the system, clean and free.

[Hook]
I’mma reboot, forget what broke me down (yeah)
No more loops, I’m rising from the ground (whoa)
Wounds don’t lie, but time gon’ teach me how (teach me how)
To live for peace, not just for the crowd
I'm healing now... I'm healing now...
Reboot... (oooh)

[Verse 2]
Told myself I was fine, but I lied on repeat
Smiles on the 'Gram, pain under the sheet
Trying to forgive what I can’t yet forget
But I learned sometimes peace comes with regret

I don’t hate you, I just miss me more
And maybe healing’s not pretty, it’s war
But I lit my past and I watched it burn
Now I water myself, it’s my turn

[Hook]
 I’mma reboot, forget what broke me down (let it go)
No more loops, I’m rising from the ground (I’m rising up)
Wounds don’t lie, but time gon’ teach me how (time gon' teach)
To live for peace, not just for the crowd
 I'm healing now... I'm healing now...
Reboot... (reboot, reboot... yeah)

[Bridge]
Past was loud, but silence is divine
I'm done explaining what I left behind
New page, new code, clean slate, aligned
I don't need a signal to know I’m online

[Hook]
I’mma reboot, forget what broke me down (let it go)
No more loops, I’m rising from the ground (I’m rising up)
Wounds don’t lie, but time gon’ teach me how (time gon' teach)
To live for peace, not just for the crowd
 I'm healing now... I'm healing now...
Reboot... (reboot, reboot... yeah)

 [Outro]
If I disappear, don’t panic.
I just needed space...
To remember who I was before I bent for everyone else.
And when I come back?
I'll be better. For real this time.
