Lyrics

Intro

Ayy, quiet storm, yeah (yeah)

Slow breath, lock the door, let's go

Chorus

Often distracted, often distracted (oh-oh)

Phone lights, fast fights, mind's been fractioned (yeah)

Often distracted, often distracted (ah)

But I keep a steady lane, I keep my actions (uh-huh)

Often distracted, often distracted (oh-oh)

Turn the noise down, let the mission happen (let it happen)

Often distracted, often distracted (ayy)

Now I fold the distractions, now I'm snappin' back, yeah

Verse

I got a list of interruptions sitting in my pocket

Calendar full, but my chest won't stop it (skrrt)

Notifications like vultures, they flock it

I breathe slow, let the lines pop—clock it

Cut through the chatter like a seam through denim

Focused like a lens when the scene start bending (c'mon)

Used to chase applause, flash, counterfeit wins

Now I'm stacking small moves, building rigid rims

Late texts, late flex, late friends with late schemes

I pilot through static, keep the cockpit clean (ayy)

Counting lessons not losses, that's the metric

Turn a distraction into data, now it's electric

No more slipping on the edges of what could be

I set the pace, I set the bar—I wrote the key

Quiet on the surface, engines in rotation

Work in the dark so the daylight feels sacred

Playbook thin, conviction thick like caramel

I move deliberate—no more disposable apparel

Chorus

Often distracted, often distracted (oh-oh)

Phone lights, fast fights, mind's been fractioned (yeah)

Often distracted, often distracted (ah)

But I keep a steady lane, I keep my actions (uh-huh)

Often distracted, often distracted (oh-oh)

Turn the noise down, let the mission happen (let it happen)

Often distracted, often distracted (ayy)

Now I fold the distractions, now I'm snappin' back, yeah

Verse

They want my focus, they want my time, they want my face

Offers on my neck, but not all of them pay for the chase

I learned to say no in a tone that still sounds kind

Boundaries on the blueprint, future on my mind (future)

Every detour is a lesson dressed as a phase

I stored the lessons, now I'm spending wiser days

Bassline hums, piano hits like a steady truth

808 heartbeat keeps me honest in the booth

I keep the doorway narrow—let the right ones in

Those with noise get filtered out, fade like a hymn

I hustle with a calm that's born from knowing where I sit

Confidence not arrogance—it's craft and grit

People change lanes, but I don't need to follow

I study my tomorrow like it's blue ink on a hollow

Empty promises bounce off, yeah, they ricochet

I turn silence into work, let my numbers say (say)

No drama, just stamina, motion that's surgical

Problem to solution, every move's intentional

Bridge

(ah-ah) Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down (slow it)

(ah-ah) Focus up, focus up, focus up (focus)

Keep the aim steady—breathe, breathe, breathe

Keep the aim steady—move, move, move

Verse

Last lap, same map, but the r
