(Create a heartfelt emotional rap song in A minor, tempo 85 BPM.
Style: NF / Joyner Lucas / Eminem (Mockingbird) vibe.
Production: Dark piano chords in the verses, deep 808 bass, punchy k**k + crisp snare, light hi-hat rolls. Add cinematic strings and layered synth pads in the chorus to make it feel epic and anthemic. Keep verses stripped back, raw, and confessional, then build big on the chorus. Tone should shift from pain and vulnerability in the verses to empowerment and strength in the hook.)
Lyrics:
[Intro – whispered, raw]
Yeah…
This ain’t for fame, this ain’t for charts…
This is me.
[Verse 1]
Two sisters in the spotlight, shining like gold,
I was the shadow left out in the cold.
Dad’s pride lived in them, never in me,
Guess I was just the branch on a different tree.
Mama said she loved me, but I felt that divide,
Like I was just surviving while they were alive.
Every smile I faked was a mask I wore,
‘Cause the truth is, I was dying to be loved more.
[Chorus – emotional, soaring]
All I wanted was a place to belong,
But they treated my silence like it wasn’t that strong.
I gave my b***d, my tears, my f***t,
But I was left alone in the d**d of night.
No crowns, no thrones, no stage, no show,
Just a heart that’s tired of being unknown.
So hell with the rest—
I just wanna be me, nothing less.
[Verse 2]
Found a girl, thought her love was the cure,
But her heart wasn’t mine, she was never that sure.
I built her a kingdom out of broken hands,
But she left me alone in my castle of sand.
I tried to be the man everybody respects,
But I’m drowning in the weight of their quiet neglect.
Smile in the daylight, f***t when it’s dark,
My body’s still here, but they don’t see my heart.
[Chorus – repeat, more powerful]
All I wanted was a place to belong,
But they treated my silence like it wasn’t that strong.
I gave my b***d, my tears, my f***t,
But I was left alone in the d**d of night.
No crowns, no thrones, no stage, no show,
Just a heart that’s tired of being unknown.
So hell with the rest—
I just wanna be me, nothing less.
[Bridge – stripped back, building hope]
Maybe love don’t live in their eyes,
Maybe peace is the truth, not the lies.
If they never clap, I’ll still stand tall,
‘Cause I don’t need their voice to hear my call.
[Outro – fading, emotional]
I’m done begging for a seat at their table,
I’m stronger now, yeah, I’m finally able.
They’ll see me one day, but I won’t need their eyes,
‘Cause I’ve found my worth, and it don’t need a prize.
So hell with the rest…
I just wanna be me… nothing less.
