Raw

Lyrics: [verse] Thinking back to last Friday, got faded, lost cash Had my brother on my neck, saying, “You living too fast” blood stains and three-day jeans, but staying present Can’t shake the weight, so I laugh, take it as a lesson [Pre-Chorus] Underneath my skin, these scars don’t fade Kicked dreams to the curb, but I ride that wave Chasing moments, don’t care what’s next If tonight’s all I get, then I’ll burn every regret [Chorus] Take me higher, don’t let me fall Give me something real, not some faded call If this is all I got, let me live it raw No filter, no limit, tonight I want it all (Want it all) (I want it all) [Verse 2] Rooftop cold, but the view remains golden Bottled up battles, but my eyes wide open Saw a familiar smile through the crowd, reckless, unstaged Could've played it safe, but threw myself over that bridge just so that I won't have to go through another mistake, I'm done with the slow burns, ready to be burned, and finally turn the final page. [Bridge] If losing’s part of life, then I'm ready to lose I'm tangled within the confines of my own darkness, (under neon weather) I'm chasing dreams that nobody saw Let me drown in your laughter, even if I fall [Chorus] Take me higher, don’t let me fall Give me something real, not some faded call If this is all I got, let me live it raw No filter, no limit, tonight I want it all (Want it all) (I want it all) [Verse 3] Counting wishes on subway tracks Tickets in my pocket, hope they never come back Still hungry for the days that never felt fair Running from the past but the future’s right there [Chorus] Take me higher, don’t let me fall Give me something real, not some faded call If this is all I got, let me live it raw No filter, no limit, tonight I want it all (Give me something real) (not some faded call) (If this is all I got) (let me live it raw) Let me live it raw Written by: Conji Copyright 2026.
