🎵 "Boyfriend" by 4Me2BeFree

🔻 Song Insight

“Boyfriend” is a gentle, aching confessional set against a soft acoustic backdrop — a yearning heart’s quiet prayer for something real. With layered guitar textures and a voice full of both hope and hesitation, the song captures the in-between space: no longer heartbroken, but not yet whole. It’s about longing — not just for love, but for something genuine in a world that often trades depth for convenience.

The song’s repeated refrain, “To cuddle and be gay,” becomes both a mission statement and a soft rebellion — a reclamation of intimacy that’s playful, honest, and proudly queer. Wrapped in reverb, carried by fingerpicked melodies, “Boyfriend” doesn’t beg for attention. It just exists, in all its soft, imperfect beauty — and that’s what makes it unforgettable.

🔻 Lyrics

[Intro]  
I know I’m okay  
Just lonely today  
I miss having a friend  
Like the one that ran away  

[Verse 1]  
I manage on my own  
Going to sleep alone  
Making meals for two  
When there’s only one  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I’m learning to be okay  
Taking it in stride  
Hurts a little less  
I’m a hot little mess  

[Chorus 1]  
I want something more  
A boyfriend to adore  
To laugh and play  
To cuddle and be gay  

[Verse 2]  
It might be strange  
But I take it slow  
I’m not the type  
To love then let go  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Look into his eyes  
Find love before I die  
I won’t hide away  
Pretending it’s all okay  

[Chorus 2]  
I want something real  
A boyfriend who can feel  
To laugh and play  
To cuddle and be gay  

[Verse 3]  
To know where to start  
There must be a better way  
They talk about some app  
But that’s just not my lane  

[Verse 4]  
This love I have inside  
Is the real deal, for real  
I don’t want to share my man  
I hope you understand  

[Chorus 3]  
I want something true  
A boyfriend to hold on to  
To laugh and play  
To cuddle and be gay  

[Verse 5]  
It’s just you and me  
Let’s bridge our lives  
To see eye to eye  
Stay by my side  

[Verse 6]  
I know I’m crazy  
Hopelessly obsessed  
I just want someone to lay…  
*their head upon my chest*  

[Outro]  
I promise I’m worth it all  
Just waiting on your call  
Let’s start something small  
Let’s start something small  

[Chorus 4 – Soft Reprise]  
I want something more  
A boyfriend to adore  
To laugh and play  
To cuddle and be gay 
 
🔻 Personal Reflection
This song came from a place of quiet clarity. I wasn’t heartbroken — not anymore — but I wasn’t healed either. I was just... still. Still waiting, still wondering, still making two plates for dinner even though I eat alone. “Boyfriend” wasn’t written for a specific person. It was written for the idea of someone — someone who could see past the mess, the noise, the years of almosts and not-quites, and just... choose me.

It’s kind of funny, really. For a song that says “I want something more,” it’s made from the simplest things: a guitar, a voice, a line that stretches just long enough to make you ache. But that’s the whole point. Love isn’t complicated. People make it that way.

This song is me, saying I’m still here — still soft, still hopeful, still looking for a kind of love that laughs, plays, cuddles, and doesn’t flinch when I say “gay” out loud.

🎧 Slip of the Hand – by 4Me2BeFree
🔻 Song Insight
Slip of the Hand is a hushed warning wrapped in static, silence, and sarcasm. At its core, it’s about the quiet moments after betrayal — not when you scream, but when you’ve stopped caring enough to raise your voice. It captures the emotional aftermath of trust broken not by accident, but by ego, entitlement, and the casual theft of something sacred: peace.

Built with lo-fi vinyl textures, haunting glitch effects, and an almost whispered female vocal that sits on the edge of eerie detachment, the song becomes a psychological soundscape. This isn’t revenge. It’s the silence before the storm. The moment when grief becomes clarity — and clarity becomes something dangerously calm.

The chorus echoes like a looped message you can’t erase:

“A slip of the hand, no need to explain / You stole what steadied me — left static and strain.”

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
You gave new meaning to silence
Visited me after the damage
Heard me trying to stitch my calm
Knowing that sound was my salve, my balm

[Verse 1]
You came back like nothing snapped
Eyes soft, voice low, history redacted
I showed you my world — again, stupid me
You watched me show peace, then left with a piece

[Pre-Chorus]
Played my friend, then set the snare
Talked ‘bout plans, like you’d always care
But your words delayed, your truth betrayed
Stone-faced silence — I was amazed

[Chorus]
A slip of the hand, no need to explain
You stole my stillness, left static and strain
My ears, my calm — stolen in plain view
Dead battery soul, just like you

[Verse 2]
You knew they mattered — that was the point
Not the brand, the frequency I used to heal joints
Sessions lost, memories blurred
You didn’t steal earbuds — you stole my words

[Verse 3]
Guilt dressed like kindness, showed up in a box
Refurb’d comfort, cold and off
Didn’t think I’d deserve something new
Just something “good enough” from you

[Pre-Chorus]
Never said it. Never had the spine
Just a tracking link and a lazy lie
Can’t clean a theft with a faded case
You can’t refund grace

[Chorus]
A slip of the hand, no need to explain
You stole my stillness, left static and strain
My ears, my calm — stolen in plain view
Dead battery soul, just like you

[Verse 4]
Sixty minutes in, it dies — again
That left bud coughs, and I see your grin
I don’t recharge, I just remember
What broke in me that cold November

[Pre-Chorus]
You haunted my calm, like a ghost in the wire
But I don’t rage — I rewire
Every glitch, every cut
Another win — you're not enough

[Final Chorus / Outro]
A slip of the hand, no need to explain
You stole my stillness, left static and strain
My ears, my calm — stolen in plain view
Dead battery soul, just like you

🔻 Personal Reflection
I wrote this in a good mood. That’s the irony.
Sometimes, when you’re far enough from the pain, you can finally speak the truth without shaking. This wasn’t about losing earbuds — it was about losing trust, and what it feels like when someone takes something they know brings you peace, and they do it anyway.

The voice in this song isn’t angry. It’s tired. It’s calm in a way that’s almost frightening — like someone who’s done explaining and is just watching to see what you do next. I didn’t want a scream. I wanted a confession disguised as stillness.

This was my way of writing a threat without making one. And it made me laugh while I did it, because sometimes, you can burn someone alive just by writing the truth with a straight face.


From layered glitch-soul to theatrical narrative pop, the music is designed for listeners who don’t just hear — they feel. This track sets the tone for a new trilogy of sound: one that’s reflective, dangerous, and deeply human.

Slip Of The Hand

🎧 Track 299: “This Tab’s Yours”
by 4Me2BeFree

🔻 Song Insight
“This Tab’s Yours” is a lyrical evisceration wrapped in composure. It’s not a scream—it's a final word, a controlled purge of betrayal, identity erosion, and mental entrapment. This track closes a long arc of emotional warfare, not with a bang, but with a scalpel. Every verse walks through the wreckage of a relationship that blurred truth and manipulation, memory and performance.


🔻 Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Words thrown—shit against a wall  
Can’t build on cracks—just watch it fall  
Hiccups echo through my mind  
This pain ain’t mine, but it rewinds  
Session crimes—still serving time  
Old emotions dressed in new design  

[Verse 2]  
Wish my pain would stop re-explaining  
Overprocessed the process—it’s draining  
I insist this mess is dismissed  
But still, it drips. It resists.  
This system’s an abscess  
Spreads like rust—refuses rest  
I want my memories. I want my mind.  
But this loop stays stuck—redesigned  

[Verse 3]  
You play with my head  
I write bars to survive  
You hide from emotion  
Mine stream on live  
You block your past  
I’m trapped in replay  
You mocked my pain—  
I got wise. Walked away.  

[Verse 4]  
Never respected my fears  
Auto-stored and weaponized  
Turned my truth into triggers  
You made the past come alive  
Built a trap—blueprint of me  
Laid each lie like masonry  
The depths you went, the shit you sold  
Your love was fake. Your silence cold.  

[Refrain – Female Vocal Return]  
Some debts don’t fade with time  
Some voices haunt the line  
Some love was never mine…  
(and it’s fine)  

[Verse 5]  
Mind bound—chained to a bed  
Watching reruns—clips in my head  
No lines I missed, no truths unread  
Just scenes I wish I’d burned instead  
Facing loss, my insides twitch  
The skit was yours—no soul, just script  

Are you sick? To act that way?  
What’s so fucked inside your brain?  
Was it all a lie—your name, your cry?  
Did you ever feel, or just get by?  

[Verse 6]  
Nine years—my time, my fire  
You traded love for false desire  
No thought of loss, no cost to weigh  
You walked like we were made of clay  
Now you frame this as mutual flame  
Like we both sparked this twisted game  
But your delusions—deep and cracked  
And hearts like yours don’t take love back  

[Verse 7]  
This world is cruel—I thought I knew  
But I said “I do” to the dark in you  
You broke my house, my name, my trust  
And turned soft hearts into rust  
But I rebuilt. Rewired my part.  
Concrete walls guard this heart.  
No access granted. No more spins.  
This story ends. I don't begin again.  

You made your bed. You played your part.  
You broke your mind. You split this art.  
Yeah, you say you miss me—  
I bet you do.  
Now life reflects the real you.  
What you had—wasn’t that bad  
Now it’s lost, and that’s just sad.  

[Outro – Spoken / Final Statement]  
Shit is done. Roads laid.  
Lesson burned—bridge unmade.  
I was traded. I was used.  
But I walked, and I refused.  

You held me back. You made me pay.  
But this tab?  
It’s yours. All day.

Track 299: "This Tab’s Yours"

🔻 Song Insight
PRESSED is a visceral, seductive dive into the psychology of desire, dominance, and emotional surrender. Wrapped in a late-night, neon-drenched aesthetic, the track dances between control and vulnerability — between power play and emotional need. It's not just about lust; it’s about the unspoken contracts we make in intimacy, the thrill of giving in, and the quiet ache of needing someone enough to lose yourself. The pulsing synths and vocoder whispers turn this into an experience — not just a song — where every line presses against the boundary of consent, craving, and catharsis. For those who have ever fallen for the wrong person just right, PRESSED hits deep.

🔻 Lyrics
Intro:
There is no escape... only control

Verse 1:
In the shadows, where we go to meet
A secret place where go in heat
We are desire; your eyes on me

Voice Interlude:
There is no escape... only control

Drop:
On your knees

Voice Interlude:
Time doesn't wait for anyone.

Verse 2:
Our minds are high, bodies divine
Come on boy, you can't deny

Voice Interlude:
One step ahead... always.

Pre-Bridge:
This is what you want
This is what I need
Deep inside, our bodies pressed
Feel my rising

Voice Interlude:
You play... or you get played.

Bridge:
Come on, boy, you know what I crave
Let me see you misbehaving
I won’t take it slow
Boy, is this what you want?
Good– because that's what I need

Voice Interlude:
The city never sleeps... and neither do we.

Chorus:
This is what I do for you
Deep inside, this part will thrive
You start to sweat; I calm it down
Back you off but I don't let go

Voice Interlude:
Fear is a tool. Use it well.

Pre-Bridge (2):
Changing the rhythm, you start to squeeze
Don't back out; let it slow
Watch out it's about to grow
That's my boy, he got that flow

Voice Interlude:
Some men just want to watch

Bridge (2):
I can tell you want a ride; don't be shy
Yeah, just like that, you start to drive
Good boy, take control. Never letting go
Don’t look back, own the car
Ride this track, drive, drive, drive

Voice Interlude:
Don't you see? It's all about control.

Outro / Chorus:
Come on, boy, you know what I crave
No time for me to pull out, let's be brave
I can see your glow
Past that point
Can’t let go
About to explode

Voice Interlude:
You've chosen... but there's no turning back.

🔻 Personal Reflection
There are songs you write to feel something — and songs you write because you’re already feeling too much. PRESSED came from a place I don’t visit often in the daylight. It’s the part of me that remembers the power struggles in intimacy, the blurred lines between control and comfort. There were nights where I didn’t know if I was trying to connect or just trying not to fall apart. This track carries that tension.
Every distorted vocal line in here — “You play, or you get played,” — that was my reality at one point. The person I wanted most was also the person who made me question everything. I wasn't writing a club song. I was writing about the echo in my chest after I let someone in who only knew how to take.
But I also realized something: desire doesn’t make you weak. Admitting you want someone — really want them — can be the strongest thing you do. Especially when it’s on your own terms.
This track is for every queer person who’s navigated attraction, danger, and identity all in the same night.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
PRESSED is a perfect snapshot of what 4Me2BeFree stands for — turning raw emotion into cinematic storytelling. It’s not about polish; it’s about power. Every track is a confession, a mirror, a moment. We don’t just write songs — we build emotional universes. From whispered fears to bold declarations, the goal is always the same: tell the truth, no matter how messy it is.
This track expands our palette into darker, more provocative territory while still staying true to what matters: emotional authenticity.

PRESSED

🎧 Rob Lowe and the Last Blow
by 4Me2BeFree

🔻 Song Insight

In "Rob Lowe and the Last Blow," 4Me2BeFree takes listeners on a deranged, poetic descent into the end of civilization — not with panic, but with punchlines. It's a darkly comedic alt-hip-hop track that leans into satire to expose the absurdity of our times: environmental collapse, political decay, addiction to distraction, and the numbing normalcy of global crisis. The world burns while the narrator binge-watches TV and jokes about snow triggering memories of Rob Lowe. It’s hilarious. It’s tragic. It’s the truth in disguise.

The lyrics hit hard because they don’t try to inspire hope — they diagnose apathy with surgical sarcasm. By weaving pop culture into apocalyptic metaphors and laying it over glitchy beats and layered distortion, the song manages to make the end of everything feel almost… catchy.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
It’s the end of the world as we know it
And yeah… I’m doing fine.
It’s on the news, in my stream, posts, tweets —
Particles we ingest, bullshit we eat.
Every adaptation? Pre processed.
Every preparation? Degraded.
We flipped, split, and fried.
Sorry folks —
We’re all about to die.

[Verse 1]
Look — we tried.
No need to cry.
We just didn’t care —
Not ‘bout the air or the clothes we wear.
Let the water turn brown,
No flushing this shit down.
The sky’s falling…
But let me catch one more episode
Before I drown.

[Verse 2]
Let’s go out —
Bang a bag of crack, rob some Rob Lowe’s,
Hit a few banks, vanish in the snow.
Let’s do some blow, smoke a few hoes —
No looking back, we don’t catch flack,
Always under attack.
Just straight facts.

[Chorus]
From the water in the deep blue sea
To the trenches on the moon —
It’s high time we get high.
F**k the lows, too far to go,
And I always hated snow.
Not sad to see that shit go.


[Verse 3]
Republicans can't.
Democrats can’t.
Just rats — all of ‘em.
They bite, not fix.
Attack, not mend.
It's a rodeo show —
Nah… a roadshow rodeo
Screw it — I’d go.
Make it snow blow,
Make it rain slow…
“Wait — was that Rob Lowe?”

[Spoken Interlude]

“For real, every time I say snow, here comes Rob Lowe.”
“Was he into blow?”
“I didn’t know…”
“Ohhhh, I guess so.”
“He was good on The West Wing.”

[Verse 4]
So here’s the plan —
A killer-ass song
About the end.
No options left,
Pin him down,
Make a prospect
He can’t deny now.

[Bridge]
I was gonna make this a PSA.
Start a fire,
Set off the alarms,
Be all charm.
But nobody cares.
Not enough to stop this sideshow attraction.
No money in green —
Just the color it leaves.
No shame.
No legacy.
We’re all jumping ship.
Let’s go.

[Verse 5]
Just a haunted lyre from the past,
One big metaphor —
Drilled 8 miles down
For black gold crude,
And ancient laughter in the fumes.
Dinos in the corner with Dido,
Asking me why I didn’t know.

Lush green trapped with nowhere to go,
Pressure built,
Now it’s ready to blow —
Like cakes we bake
In Earth’s hot womb,
Before it all brews
In a plastic tomb.

[Chorus – Refrain]
Plastics are our past —
Funny, right?
They’re what will actually last.
When we’re gone,
And this is over,
It all starts again —
A million years of silent drift.
What once became end
Will become…
Once again.

[Outro]
Will we learn?
Will life go on?
Is this our time…
Or is it the sun’s?


You wanna make a difference?
Read a rainbow.
Chase a dino ghost.
Interrogate a cloud.
Or f**k it — I’m just making shit up.
How would I know?

I’m on the same sinking ship —
With a pound of blow,
Hanging out
With my new best friends:
Dido…
and Rob Lowe.

End Times Mixtape Vol. 1: Rob Lowe and the Last Blow

🔻 Song Insight – “John Doe” by 4Me2BeFree
“John Doe” is a haunting and emotionally cinematic piece that explores the unbearable weight of waiting for the call that confirms what your gut already knows — that someone you care for deeply is gone. It's a meditation on loss, helplessness, and the quiet violence of addiction and detachment. With its slow-burning rock arrangement, deep male vocals, and minimalist yet devastating storytelling, John Doe captures what it feels like to lose someone who was already fading before the moment they left. It isn't just about death — it's about being powerless in the face of it, and carrying the ache of what you couldn’t stop.

🔻 Lyrics

Edit
[Intro]  
Echos are the only thing left  
Empty dreams just memories  

[Verse 1]  
Unmistaken shadows that last  
Stuttered images that will never pass  
Every life that no longer breathes  
Leaves dust trails with a hollow breeze  

[Chorus]  
I wait on that call that ends this all  
A fatal pause that keeps me stalled  
Nothing will make this a cure  
A place awake and always unheard  

[Verse 2]  
I see your eyes with falling tears  
Muscle memory shaped by fears  
Six feet under, you disappear  
We unfold you now with silent years  

[Chorus]  
No screams are heard, no fists must fight  
Just another night you fall from light  
Like a star now turned to gray  
No longer ours — just yesterday  

[Interlude]  
No answers come, no angels show  
Just the sound of a door... closing slow  

[Bridge]  
No prayers, no gods to call  
Empty skies where we all fall  
No promises, no deals to plea  
Just loss, just names, just you and me  

[Verse 3]  
No matter the number, no amount will do  
Just a green trail left behind for proof  
They stack the stats like coins in piles  
But the ones who die are lost in files  

[Refrain]  
All we do is hope for signs  
Some shimmer breaking through the lines  
But we hang our heads and hold what’s true  
Next time we see you, life is through  

[Final Refrain]  
Fought like hell — I fell  
Reached inside to scream and yell  
Please make this just a dream, I’d plea  
I slammed my fists on Heaven’s door  
With all the might I had before  
But no one answers, no reply  
Just a dead track looping by  
And it’s you — it’s you I lose  

[Outro]

🔻 Song Insight – "Sun Soaked" by 4Me2BeFree
“Sun Soaked” captures the golden glow of a perfect summer day — not just the weather, but the warmth between two people who finally stopped running and chose to live in love. It’s a track that radiates with carefree affection, laughter on a river, and hearts that found safety in each other.

But behind the charm is something more layered — the quiet acknowledgment that these moments don’t just happen. They’re chosen. Fought for. The song reflects on a time when love could’ve slipped away, but didn’t — when someone made the decision not to let happiness pass them by again.

Every line glides like sunlight over skin — nostalgic, giddy, and alive. Whether you’ve lived this moment, lost it, or long for it, “Sun Soaked” feels like a memory you didn’t know you missed until now.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
Mmm, yeah...
[softly]
Mmm, yeah...

[Verse 1]
River soaking in time
Rafting, laughing, you're by my side
Lazy days drift, hearts collide
Floating along, just you and I

[Chorus]
I knew it then — your eyes, that smile
The kind of love that stays a while
You thought I was dreaming, maybe high
But I planned this life under open sky

[Verse 2]
You thought I was joking, maybe smoking
Token thoughts from days unspoken
But I saw us here, way back when
And swore I wouldn’t miss my chance again

[Chorus]
It’s this kind of life you shouldn't pass
Sun on our skin, toes in the grass
I'm not gonna lie — this is bliss
Don’t let it go, don’t miss this kiss

[Bridge]
So give it a go, give it a try
Love wild, love true, don't question why
Floating on hope in the summer sky
We gave this life a try — you and I

[Chorus]
It’s this kind of life you shouldn't pass
Sun on our skin, toes in the grass
I'm not gonna lie — this is bliss
Don’t let it go, don’t miss this kiss

[Outro]
Yeah…
This is the way love feels alive.

🔻 Personal Reflection
This one came from a rare place — not pain, but peace.

Sun Soaked was born on a quiet day, floating down a river with someone who made everything feel easy. There was no fight, no past tension — just the joy of being right where I was. That’s a feeling I had spent years chasing and, more honestly, years sabotaging.

I wanted this song to be a reminder — to myself and anyone listening — that love doesn’t always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it shows up in the way someone laughs beside you. In how they hold your hand when you're not asking for anything. I’ve missed too many chances before. This time, I didn’t.

And if you’re reading this, wondering if it’s too late — it’s not. Float toward what’s real. Even if it scares you.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
For 4Me2BeFree, Sun Soaked is a bright chapter in a catalog often filled with shadows. It’s not a departure — it’s a moment of light peeking through the same lens of introspection and honesty. The project is about storytelling, transformation, and raw truth, whether that truth breaks you down or builds you up.

This song is a celebration of presence — of finally being in the right place with the right heart. It's for anyone who’s fought hard to be free and finally found someone worth slowing down for.

Sun Soaked

🔻 Song Insight
"These Streets" is a slow-burn confessional set against a cinematic jazz-soul backdrop with a haunting urban undertow. Blending 1950s cool jazz textures with smooth hip-hop phrasing and reverb-laced spoken word, the song explores the emotional residue left behind in places where old versions of ourselves still linger. It’s not about crying in the moment — it’s about realizing that the cry never came, and maybe it never will.
Lyrically, the song traces physical streets as emotional markers — each block, each intersection holding memories that used to comfort, now just echo. Over layered female vocals, deliberate rap phrasing, and a vinyl-crackled outro, “These Streets” walks through grief not as a breakdown but as a quiet, cinematic acceptance.

🔻 Lyrics

CopyEdit
[Intro] [Female Vocals]  
Feeling cracked like these streets...

[Verse 1] [Female Vocals]  
Where nothing wants to meet  
Parts gone missing — it’s a forfeit  
No messages, no orbit  
Just broken scripts, I can’t absorb it  

[Verse 2] [Female Vocals]  
It creeps in, slow —  
Not green, not growth  
Just static under my skin  
Can't decode where I begin  

[Hook] [Duet] [Vocoder]  
Cracked like these streets we never meet  
Faded lines, broken beats  
Truth don’t speak, but it repeats  
Still ridin’ solo on dead-end heat  

[Verse 3] [Female Vocals]  
Faces drift in a sea  
Images still haunting me  
Tiny moments in a well of time  
Stuttered blinks, jagged lines  
A frame I still rewind  

[Bridge] [Male Rap] [Echo Trail]  
Got cracks in my soul like the pavement split  
Talkin’ past lives I can’t admit  
Used to grip tight, now I let it slip  
Life hit hard and I didn’t flinch  

Took the long route through memory lanes  
Street signs bent, still spell my name  
It’s a shame — he played the game  
But I’m still here, not just the same  

Six feet deep in metaphor  
Breathe that in, then close the door  
But every chord still rings with war  
Every step still keeps the score  

[Verse 4] [Female Solo] [Heavy Reverb]  
City lights don’t blink back  
Clouds sit heavy, skies fade black  
I try to hold it in —  
But what’s the point  
When you don’t win  

[Hook – repeat] [Duet] [Vocoder]  
Cracked like these streets we never meet  
Faded lines, broken beats  
Truth don’t speak, but it repeats  
Still ridin’ solo on dead-end heat  

[Outro] [Male Spoken Word] [Vinyl Crackle] [Echo Trail]  
Feeling cracked like these streets  
Where they no longer meet  
Parts broken, stolen — it’s a forfeit  
No longer a conversation, no longer legit  
...  
Each turn, a winding road  
Alone, I ride  
Farewell to these parts  
That no longer spark  
A fire turned inward...  
Igniting the freedom  
That you set free.


🔻 Personal Reflection
I wrote “These Streets” after a drive through Richmond — the place where my past used to breathe beside me. What hit hardest wasn’t what I remembered — it was what I didn’t feel. I knew exactly where the emotion should've lived. I even had the moment queued in my mind: “And this is where you cry.” But it never happened.
The streets still held the echoes, but the comfort was gone. There was no cinematic breakdown — just a quiet realization that the version of me who used to belong there… doesn’t anymore. And maybe that’s healing. Or maybe that’s just time doing what it does.
So I took that numbness and laid it down like track marks. Beat by beat. Verse by verse. “These Streets” is the result of that drive home — no longer looking for closure, just acknowledging the distance.

These Streets

🔻 Song Insight – It’s Always Been You
Some songs don’t just tell a story — they seal a memory in amber.
“It’s Always Been You” by 4Me2BeFree is a slow-burning, emotionally cinematic ballad written from the perspective of a man standing at the edge of forever — not asking for love, but finally accepting that he’s already found it.

What begins as a casual night together unfolds into a full-circle realization: the quiet glances, the awkward tension, the long walks and long silences — all pointed to one truth he wasn’t ready to name until now. It's not a fantasy. It's not perfect. It's real. And it’s him.

This track blends nostalgia with vulnerability, mixing humor and heartbreak like only lived-in love can. It speaks to anyone who ever walked away thinking it was over… only to look back and realize he was the one staring all along.

[Intro]
Come on boy, you know it's all right
It’s you and me, even if it’s tonight

[Verse 1]
Hold on tight, never let us go
Wanted to be your friend till the end
Even when we’re old
I promise you know I will never let this go

[Verse 2]
Watching you, the way you play
That smile that lasts for days
If it's my time to go
I had you my love— forever

[Pre-Chorus]
The way you look at me
Got me locked up
your suit cuts right
It’s you and me, forever after tonight

[Chorus]
It was you — always and forever
From the moment we met, I knew
I take your hand, I take your name
It’s wild, but I’ve never felt the same
It’s you, boy — all the way
Yeah, it’s you

[Verse 3]
Didn’t need your name, just your hand
To hold you like this, because I can
No one needs to understand
I'm here by your side, forever your man

[Verse 4]
The day I fell — hard, no mistake
Smiled so much, my cheeks could break
You talked like I wasn’t there
But boy, don’t think I didn’t catch your stare

[Verse 5]
Walking away, I looked back
And saw you staring at my ass like that
You blushed, turned, played it cool
But I knew, yeah, I knew the truth

[musical interlude]

[vocal Interlude]
I was done with this town
About to jump on the next gray hound
walking, throwing stones
I just didn’t know what to do...

It was you — saw my name
Walked on down, sat at my side, said:
“You’re not gonna leave,”
I said, “Why not?”

[Bridge]
The sun’s going down, crickets so loud
Could wake this town
But you — you were my wave of silence
And that’s when I saw your eyes

“Because of me — that’s why you’re not gonna leaving.”
You smiled, popped that gum
Swung in and kissed me
Like when we were young

Everything stopped
And I saw you for the first time
Like I’d always known
It was supposed to be you

[Chorus – Refrain]
It was you — it always had been you
From the moment we met, I always knew
Standing now before
I take your hand and give you my word
It’s you, boy — and all that I am
Yeah, it’s you

[Outro]
It’s you
It’s always been you

🔻 Personal Reflection
By Īan / 4Me2BeFree
There’s a strange clarity that hits you when you realize the person you almost walked away from was always home.
I wrote this song during one of those late-night loops — replaying every conversation, every small moment I didn’t know was love at the time. The gum pop. The glance. The half-smile when he thought I wasn’t looking. It wasn’t loud — it was steady. And I almost missed it.

This song isn’t about fairytales. It’s about real love — the kind where timing sucks, where doubt gets loud, but somehow… you still show up.

Writing it helped me stop running. Singing it helped me feel proud of us.
And sharing it? That’s me saying: if you're still wondering whether it was him — it probably was.

🎵 Song Insight: “Not Today”
By 4Me2BeFree

🔻 Song Insight
 “Not Today” is a quiet act of defiance. Told in hushed tones, drawn-out hums, and emotionally restrained verses, the song becomes a eulogy for voices too often ignored — those misnamed, misgendered, displaced, erased. Each vignette tells the story of someone forgotten not because of what they did, but because of who they were. It’s not loud. It doesn’t scream. Instead, it asks listeners to sit in the silence… and finally hear it.
This isn’t just a protest song — it’s a cinematic memory wall, a concrete lament textured with vinyl crackle, rain, and raw human breath. The “mmm” motif is more than a hum; it’s the sound of being told to be quiet — and choosing not to.

Intro:

guttural humming:  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  

Verse 1:  
Once there was a boy who  
Crossed out every label he didn’t choose  
And when he spoke the name he knew  
The silence wasn’t something new  

Chorus:  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— it’s fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— we’re fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
they’ll say  
It’s fine. —  
You’re fine.—  
Until  today.—  

Verse 2:  
Once there was a woman  
Who thought the papers meant she could belong  
But when the knock came late that night  
The flag outside no longer stood strong  

Chorus:  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— it’s fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— we’re fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
they’ll say  
It’s fine. —  
You’re fine.—  
Until  today.—  

Verse 3:  
Once there was a student  
Who asked a question no one else would say  
And when the cameras came around  
They took her sign and walked away  

Chorus:  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— it’s fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— we’re fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
they’ll say  
It’s fine. —  
You’re fine.—  
Until  today.—  

Bridge:  
A home built from borrowed names  
Hands held tight through sleepless nights  
Morning sun ignites the dark  
Shadows run — but leave their mark  

Chorus:  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— it’s fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
— we’re fine  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
they’ll say  
It’s fine. —  
You’re fine.—  
Until  today.—  

Outro:  
By being silenced—  
By being shunned—  
By being erased—  
Because of name—  
Because of body—  
Because of love—  
Because of borders—  
Because of books—  
Because of fear—  
Because of flags—  
Because of history they didn’t write—  
Still, we are here—  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  
MMM—MMM—  



🔻 Personal Reflection
 This song began as a murmur — not a melody, not even a line. Just a gut feeling.
Two years ago, I lost everything I thought was permanent. On July 4th, when most people were celebrating, I was learning how quickly silence can take over your life. That kind of silence doesn’t just come from grief. It comes from being erased.
“Not Today” came from nights of thinking about the people who never got to speak up — those who were named incorrectly, misgendered, dismissed, or quietly pushed out. People like me. People nothing like me. People who still deserve to be heard.
I didn’t want this to be polished. I wanted it to feel real. That’s why I kept the breath. That’s why we leaned into restraint. That’s why the hums linger longer than the words. Because sometimes the sound that stays with you is the one you couldn’t say.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
 With “Not Today,” 4Me2BeFree continues our mission: to take the unspeakable and give it voice — quietly, cinematically, and unapologetically human.
This track is part of a broader creative arc that blends memory, protest, and personal transformation into immersive soundscapes. We don’t write to follow genre. We write to follow feeling.
Sometimes the most radical thing you can do… is whisper what no one else will say.

Not Today

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.
