Learning How to Bend | Lo-Fi Trap Ballad | Introspective Hip-Hop

Learning How to Bend - Started to feel it, but maybe that's okay.

You know that feeling right before rain? When the air changes and something's different but you can't quite put your finger on it? That's where I am.

Used to think I had it figured - plans laid out, steps calculated. Now I'm sitting here with empty hands, staring at what I thought I wanted. It feels foreign. Like wearing clothes that don't fit anymore.

Started digging through old boxes. Letters I never sent. Pictures of who I used to be before I learned to play pretend. All these years of running from the person I was scared to find in the mirror.

Maybe I was running from myself. These walls I built feel paper thin. Now I'm learning how to bend. Finally sitting still. Finally ready for this conversation.

Something shifted. Still can't name it. But maybe that's okay for now.

Lyrics:
Something shifted
Can't name it yet
Like when the air changes
Right before rain

You know I used to think I had it figured
Plans laid out, steps calculated
But here I sit with empty hands
Staring at what I thought I wanted
Now it feels foreign
Like wearing clothes that don't fit
Tell me, did you see this coming
When I was so sure

Maybe I was running from myself
Thought I knew where I was heading
Truth sits heavy in my chest
Nothing's quite what I expected
These walls I built feel paper thin
Now I'm learning how to bend

Started digging through old boxes
Found letters I never sent
Pictures of who I used to be
Before I learned to play pretend
You always said I moved too fast
Never stopped to check the mirror
Guess you were right about that
I was scared of what I'd find there

Late nights talking to the ceiling, asking why
Everything I thought was solid turned to dust
Built my world on shaky ground, now I'm standing
In the aftermath of all my broken trust
Used to think that being strong meant never falling
Now I see the cracks were always in the foundation
Unexpected doesn't mean unwanted, right
Maybe this is just a different kind of education
Learning that the person I've been hiding from
Might be worth getting to know, worth the patience
All these years of running, now I'm sitting still
Finally ready for this conversation

Maybe I was running from myself
Thought I knew where I was heading
Truth sits heavy in my chest
Nothing's quite what I expected
These walls I built feel paper thin
Now I'm learning how to bend

Something shifted
Still can't name it
But maybe that's okay
For now
