Lyric

Yo

This for every woman who ever bit her tongue

Time to speak up

Yo I stayed silent in the shadows

Kept the vibe intact

Pushed my cravings to the back

While they relaxed and sat back

Manufactured smiles

Suppressed desires on the daily

Thought maturity meant

Erasing me completely

But something cracked inside

Couldn’t fake it

Couldn’t breathe

Epiphany hit different

Wasn’t kindness

It was fear underneath

Masquerading as politeness

I was hiding from the truth

Not selfless

Just scared

Wasted all my youth

So I renovated rhythms

Rearranged my whole priority

Impulse over image

Temperature became authority

Picked my heartbeat over hollow

Let em hate if they gonna

Lost some faces in the fallout

But I found my persona

Reclaimed my vocals

Lung capacity expanded wide

Stride got longer

Breath got deeper

Now I’m walking with pride

Selfishness ain’t sabotage

It’s fuel for my ignition

Do what feeds your soul and win

I’m living proof

That’s my mission

I was polite

They felt right

I was dying inside

Broke the silence

Sparked the violence

Now I’m finally alive

Selfish ain’t a sin

When you’ve been starving for years

I’m a feast on my freedom

Let em drown in their fears

I was polite

They felt right

I was dying inside

Broke the silence

Sparked the violence

Now I’m finally alive

Selfish ain’t a sin

When you’ve been starving for years

I’m a feast on my freedom

Let em drown in their fears

Reclaim your voice

Reclaim yourself
