Anchored by a smooth, almost late-night R&B vibe and Dax’s signature vocal grit, the track feels like the sonic version of watching someone clean out their closet in real time, tears, truths, and the quiet confidence that comes from healing. His delivery is calm, reflective, and unmistakably sincere. He’s not just performing. He’s confessing.
Dax goes deep: “Generational curses from daddy and mama / heartbreak and lies, dirty soul ties…” These aren’t just catchy bars, they’re journal entries turned into verses. The refrain “I’m half the man I used to be, it’s gon’ take some getting used to me” hits like a post-therapy mantra, raw yet redemptive.
There’s no flexing here, no cap. Just honesty, growth, and accountability. In a culture that often celebrates self-destruction masked as “fun,” Dax’s clarity stands out like a clean glass of water in a room full of shots.
