"I Was Wrong” — A Tribute to the One Who Always Stood By Me | By Joss Collen

Life has a way of teaching us lessons too late. Sometimes, we only realize the value of a person after they’re no longer around. That’s the story behind my upcoming song “I Was Wrong” — a heartfelt tribute to my grandmother, the one person who never gave up on me, even when I was too childish to see it. 💔 The Heart of the Song My grandmother wasn’t just family — she was a force of love and protection. While the world seemed to turn against me, she was the one who stood by my side. She fought for me, defended me, and believed in me when no one else did. Yet, in my youthful mischievousness, I didn’t always understand her value. I made fun of her sometimes — of her age, her habits, the little things that now feel like precious memories. I didn’t see the countless sacrifices she made. I didn’t realize how rare it is to have someone who truly loves you without conditions. “I Was Wrong” was born out of this realization — a mix of regret, nostalgia, and hope.

The Day My Own Family Called Me Nothing

How It Feels When Your Own Family Sees You as a Failure The pain I’m feeling right now… I can’t even express it in words. Even when I try, who would understand me? And if someone does, what difference would it make anyway? This isn’t just today. This is every day. Every single day I feel it — the coldness, the words, the rejection. Even though I’m surviving, the truth is only I know how I’m surviving. I forget most of the past — the things people said, the moments that hurt me — but it all comes rushing back when I feel sad or alone. And then I ask myself: why am I like this? Growing Up in a Cold, Uncaring Family My grandfather and father have said things that cut deeper than anyone else ever could. They’ve told me I’ll “always give them pain,” that I “don’t have a brain,” and that I will “never have knowledge.” They’ve made it clear that they care about my little brother, but not me. All of this happened on my face, in front of others, and I laughed it off to survive. But the truth is...

Joss Collen Exposes His Raw Lyrics Before the Song Drops - 100% Raw Own Energy Song Idea + Personal Updates

Exposing my raw lyrics before the full polished song drops Lately, I’ve been diving deep into hip hop and rap, going through tracks by some of my biggest inspirations—Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and a few other legends. I’ve been listening to the way they tell stories, the raw emotion they put into their bars, and the sheer energy they bring. It’s powerful stuff. And after a few days of listening, I felt this fire in my own head—a vibe that I need to create something from my own life, my own thoughts, my own energy. Something authentic. Something gangsta. Something me. Now, let me be real for a second. A lot of people online are quick to judge or doubt. They say things like, “He’s using AI to write his lyrics” or “This isn’t really his work.” Honestly, that kind of stuff can be frustrating. But here’s the thing—this post is my proof of authenticity. Everything I’m about to share is 100% my raw idea. I haven’t polished it, I haven’t sung it, I haven’t even found the right instrumental yet. ...
