MUZIC SOCIETY

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Mmm…
I caught your side-eye floatin’ across the room
Like cheap perfume sprayed too heavy at noon
Funny how my joy keep botherin’ folks
Who built they personality around bein’ broke in spirit
See, I done survived too many dark apartments
Too many nights countin’ tears like loose change jars
To let somebody with bitterness in they lipstick
Tell me how bright I’m allowed to glow
(Pre-Chorus)
Ooh…
I wear confidence like fresh silk on brown skin
And baby, that alone upset some people within
(Chorus)
Go ahead and watch me shine… mm, if it sting
I ain’t dimmin’ nothin’ to soothe your insecurities
Every scar I survived paid for this light
And I earned every inch of my shine tonight
Go ahead and roll your eyes… mm, talk your talk
While I keep floatin’ elegant through it all
‘Cause miserable hearts hate beautiful things free
But that ain’t got nothin’ to do with me
(Verse 2)
Mmm…
They hate the way I laugh from my stomach now
Like peace finally found my house somehow
Hate the way my hips move without apology
Like I stopped askin’ permission to be me
And baby…
I ain’t flawless, I just healed loud
Turned old survival into sacred crowns
Now my softness come wrapped in backbone
That combination shake weak souls
(Pre-Chorus)
Ooh…
Some folks get nervous when a woman stop shrinkin’
Especially when she beautiful and thinkin’
(Chorus)
Go ahead and watch me shine… mm, if it sting
I ain’t dimmin’ nothin’ to soothe your insecurities
Every scar I survived paid for this light
And I earned every inch of my shine tonight
Go ahead and roll your eyes… mm, talk your talk
While I keep floatin’ elegant through it all
‘Cause miserable hearts hate beautiful things free
But that ain’t got nothin’ to do with me
(Bridge)
Mmm…
Now the room got thick with fake smiles and tension
While I’m over here mindin’ my intentions
Sippin’ slow, legs crossed, unbothered and warm
Like thunder dressed up in charm
Honestly…
I stopped explainin’ my glow to people committed to gloom
Can’t fold my wings just to fit your room
And if my confidence rub you wrong tonight
Baby… lotion up your spirit right
(Outro)
Mmm…
So keep whisperin’ while I live deliciously
Lovin’ this woman who fought hard for me
‘Cause after every storm life threw at my feet
I became somebody worth watchin’…
