Lyrics

Step into the shadow if you're tryna hide your silhouette When they stab you in the back, trust me, they ain't finished yet Had 'em on they toes got em doing Pirouette All this fake love got me feeling I'm the realest here You know what the deal is here She can do this without me, yeah, that's they biggest fear You didn't know, niggas wanna take credit for something they never owned Talking on my name like the Devil is in your tone Don't you know I'm God's child? Got here on my own Turn wine into water and get blood out of the stone You give me an inch and want it back Man, I've been through this All problems deep rooted Lost love, and they need Cupid No time for your words Please don't smart talk if you been stupid Oh, damn, she ruthless Been proven Beethoven no keys, deep music When they drums speak to me, I just breathe through it Cool with a little flare, how does she do it? I don't try too hard, there's an ease to it The price goes up when you add me to it Then up again when you add Dean to it When the family tight, can't see through it Look around if you tryna find out who you are Now, you got a missing piece, I was the biggest part You gotta look inside yourself Your insecurity won't break me down You only see the silhouette, but don't hold your breath I'm protected by the light, realise you can't crush my soul Yeah, used to have a bond And now I see you as no friend of mine Couldn't see it at the time, God was showing many signs Guard up with my eyes on very wide Sitting here reflecting on myself and sipping cherry wine Like we shoulda been chopping You thought I didn't see the change, but, I been clocking I'm very wise Never knew how much I needed to set some boundaries If you are a fan of me, how can you be mad at me? Letting go isn't easy, I'll admit and it saddens me If you knew how this has made me question my sanity How could I ever doubt my truth and what I'm feeling? It's better revealing, we all need some healing Racking my brain tryna discover the meaning Who even knows I had to look deep within' to find what I was seeking Laying down, eyes closed, no sleeping No appetite, I was barely eating 100 miles per hour, my heart beating While I know I got an army that I'm leading Tyrna figure it out, bobbing and weaving Compassion I've been needing, now, it's unfolding I ain't even finished yet Light was shining on you, now I see you as a silhouette Find your way Find your faith God's with you always If this is evolution, I'm in luck Cos, I don't wanna be here and be stuck Wish we could've transitioned together I gave you all I had, gave you my trust No one ever tells you when it's fucked No one ever tells you it'll probably leave you crushed That's when you find the strength and pick yourself up I know I'ma get through this is a must Growing is painful, we cannot be rushed Used to seeing your name pop up but, I'll adjust Everybody giving their opinion When really, I should listen to my gut No more kindness for weakness So pull up with that bullshit and I'll nip it in a bud Better do the work, If you ain't looked in the mirror yet I don't wanna live my life being a silhouette Your insecurity won't break me down You only see the silhouette, but don't hold your breath I'm protected by the light, realise you can't crush my soul Ooo Ooo Oooo Ooo Ooo Oooo Ooo Ooo Oooo Ooooo Time will heal you Time will heal you Find your way Find your faith God's with you always Time will heal you Time will heal you Find your way Find your faith God's with you always
