You Promised Her a Ring (story of Ejae and her hit song Golden)
Reidmoto:  ALL.   Tunee.ai:  Used for producing the song

[Verse 1]
Eleven years folded in a hallway file
Where your name was just a number for a while
“Too old,” they said, between sips of cold brew
While your childhood rusted out of view

You zipped your bag but left your shadow there
A quiet ghost who learned to disappear

[Verse 2]
For months you walked like someone underwater
Nodding through days that wouldn’t bend or shatter
“Queen Dunce,” they smirked behind glass doors
While you traced cracks along rehearsal floors

No fanfare when the paper tore
Just dial tone—and something more

[Pre-Chorus]
But silence has a shape when it’s yours alone
And yours was carved in bone, not stone

[Chorus]
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
Not spun from luck—but sweat and stubborn grace
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
To give back time they stole from that small face

No crown was handed—you laid each plank by hand
With calloused palms and kindness no one asked you to keep
Now every note you sing is armor, every step a vow
And the world sees GOLD—but you know how

[Verse 3]
No grand design—just bus rides, laundry, dawn
A clan who knew your silence wasn’t gone
Just waiting for the right kind of rain
To melt the frost inside your veins

[Verse 4]
You trained while others scrolled or slept
Kept your fire banked, your promise kept
Only to the mirror, soft and low
“I won’t let you go.”

[Pre-Chorus]
The ring’s not metal—it’s the way you stand
When every door says “never,” but you raise your hand

[Chorus]
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
Not spun from luck—but sweat and stubborn grace
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
To give back time they stole from that small face

No crown was handed—you laid each plank by hand
With calloused palms and kindness no one asked you to keep
Now every note you sing is armor, every step a vow
And the world sees GOLD—but you know how

[Bridge]
First shots fired before the trades went wide
No parade—just your own quiet stride
They thought indifference would be your end
But tenderness was your rebellion, friend

[Chorus]
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
Not spun from luck—but sweat and stubborn grace
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
To give back time they stole from that small face

No crown was handed—you laid each plank by hand
With calloused palms and kindness no one asked you to keep
Now every note you sing is armor, every step a vow
And the world sees GOLD—but you know how

[Outro: Piano fades, single high string lingers]
(whispered)
I kept my word… I kept my word…

pick it up, pick it all up.
and start again.
youv've got a second chance,
you could go home.
escape it all.
it's just irrelevant.
it's just medicine.

you could still be,
what you want to,
what you said you were,
when I met you.

you could still be,

from all the medicine.
