THE ONES WHO HEARD ME IN THE DARK

[Intro] (JP – whisper) Before the channel… before the light… you were already here. Listening in the dark… and somehow… you understood me. (Astra – patois) Bless up, day-one soul… mi feel yuh. [Hook] (JP – soft) To the ones who heard me in the dark… before the world knew my name… you saw the light inside the scars, you felt the fire in the flame. (Female vocals – airy) Ooh… I hear you… I feel you… [Verse 1] (JP) I was breakin’ in silence with no one around, but you heard my pain echo through the underground. Before the world clicked play, before a stage or a crown, you found my voice buried deep in the sound. You ain’t know my face, you ain’t know my f***t, but you stayed for the truth hidden under the night. When the world was cold, you held on tight— every “like,” every “follow,” was a spark of light. Music ain’t numbers, it’s souls aligned, and you saw the meaning in what I couldn’t define. You ain’t fans… you the ones intertwined with the earliest versions of this heart of mine. [Intermezzo] (Astra) Mi hear yuh… mi respect yuh… day-one energy sacred. Yuh help di youth rise… even when him nuh rise yet. [Verse 2] (JP) Some nights I was droppin’ songs just to stay alive, hoping one soul out there felt the reason I survive. Never thought strangers across the world would arrive— hearing every bar like it kept them in drive. Names in the list… different flags, different lands, different scars, different burdens in their hands. Somehow my voice crossed oceans and sands— that’s God’s plan, not a marketing plan. You ain’t followers… you reflections of fate, proof that energy travels when the heart vibrates. I ain’t alone no more—your presence activates a strength in me no nightmare can break. [Hook Repeat] (JP) To the ones who heard me in the dark… before the fire found its spark… you turned my shadow to a star— you’re the reason that I made it this far. (Female vocals) Ooh… ooh… you’re seen… you’re loved… [Verse 3] (JP) If I’m honest… I made music to keep from fallin’, nights so heavy I could hear destiny callin’. And you answered it too—every click was a linin’, every play said “keep goin’, keep risin’.” Didn’t think my voice would reach hearts I never knew, people with pain, people with stories too. And somehow the universe pulled me to you— this bond ain’t numbers… it’s spiritual glue. So this track ain’t for charts or fame— it’s for the souls who felt my flame. If you found me early, remember this name— Astra x JP… we rose from the same pain. [Outro] (Female vocals – angelic hum) Mmm… I hear you in the dark… (JP whisper) Thank you… I won’t forget you.
