Seven Years Later (What I Deserve, David)

[Intro: Dark Atmospheric Rhodes Piano, Rain FX & Deep 432Hz Isochronic Synth Pulse] (Mmm, yeah...) (Seven years of carrying the shame...) (I pulled up my shoulders and swallowed my pride...) (I saw Red...) (Standing up for what I deserve...) (Listen close now)

[Verse 1: Intimate, Low-Alto Dark R&B Delivery over Distorted Electric Guitar] You've taken my words and nothing could feel any worse inside Some days I wake up crying, or go to sleep weeping in the night It's so hard having all this heavy shame resting on my chest I'm so angry with myself, losing sleep and losing rest I just wanted to take a brick over and over my own head Drowning in the dark thoughts from every toxic sentence you said Another year is almost here, and once again I'm standing alone And this part of the year I've seen you twice on a quiet telephone I knew in a way, deep down a part of me always knew We parted ways the exact day you broke my trust in two I'm scarred from the disrespect, carrying the weight of the lie Watching seven long years pass silently by (Pass silently by, yeah...)

[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Stomp-Claps & Rising Synth Bass Build] I pulled up my shoulders and swallowed my pride every time! I went with the flow while you crossed every boundary line! I saw Red when the reality hit my breaking soul! I wanted to still see that future and dream with you, whole! [Vocal Stutter] (S-S-Seven years later!) Drop the beat!

[Chorus: Powerhouse R&B Belt & Soaring Harmonies] Am I your whore? Am I just the other girl in your game? Inviting me after hours, treating my loyalty like a shame! Aruba trips and secret trips, telling me after you go! Like I'm not a real part of your life, keeping me down low! Because I'm not, regrettably I'm not, but the illusion is dead! I'm taking back my authority, clearing every lie from my head! Seven years later, I finally have the courage to stand tall! To stand up for what I deserve, David, watching your tower fall! (Watching it fall, hallelujah!)

[Post-Chorus: Catchy R&B Vocal Scats & Dynamic Heavenly Worship] (E-li-ya-ta-ra-ma! Breaking every heavy chain!) (Ski-bi-di-bop, washing off seven years of rain!) (Yeah, yeah, looking elsewhere now!)

[Verse 2: Snappy, Rhythmic R&B-Trap Pocket Groove] You tell me after you leave, like I'm just a shadow in the rear Expecting me to wait by the phone for another bitter year No no, I was going crazy because nothing felt normal in my life Trapped in the revolving door of your disrespect and strife You thought I'd stay quiet, swallowed in the darkness of the room Waiting for crumbs while my heart withered away in the gloom But I woke up this morning and looked at my face in the glass Realizing that the season of your control has come to pass I'm a daughter of royalty, a mother raising three strong men And I will never let a man degrade my sacred heart again! (Degrade my heart again, baby!)

[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Stomp-Claps & Rising Synth Bass Build] I pulled up my shoulders and swallowed my pride every time! I went with the flow while you crossed every boundary line! [Vocal Stutter] (S-S-Seven years later!)

[Chorus: Powerhouse R&B Belt & Soaring Harmonies] Am I your whore? Am I just the other girl in your game? Inviting me after hours, treating my loyalty like a shame! Aruba trips and secret trips, telling me after you go! Like I'm not a real part of your life, keeping me down low! Because I'm not, regrettably I'm not, but the illusion is dead! I'm taking back my authority, clearing every lie from my head! Seven years later, I finally have the courage to stand tall! To stand up for what I deserve, David, watching your tower fall!

[Verse 3: Deep, Intimate Spoken-Word Breakdown over Quiet Piano] It felt so much better the moment I stopped thinking about your name The heavy cloud lifted, and I felt free from all the shame I don't need to dream a broken future with someone who kept me hidden My peace is too sacred, my sanctuary is no longer forbidden I'm standing up for what I deserve, stepping into the open sun Looking elsewhere for true, unconditional love... finally, I am done! (Finally I am done, amen...)

[Bridge: High-Intensity R&B / Rock Climax & Soaring Vocal Belt] (Let the electric guitars scream! Let the 808s blow!) [Full Choir Harmonies] (Seven years of courage! Watch the living water flow!) [Fresh Heavenly Phonetics] (Sha-ma-la-ba-ta-mi-na, glory to the Lord!) I am looking elsewhere! I am standing with my sword! (Three, two, one — drop the heavy beat!)

[Outro: Heavy synth bass & rain FX decay into soft Rhodes & 432Hz tone] (Dry vocal, completely raw, whispering close to the mic) Seven years later. Standing up for what I deserve, David. It feels so much better not thinking about you. Finally... looking elsewhere. (A single sharp, echoing door slam cuts the track)
