[ Featuring Gerald Green ]
(Mm... yeah)
Didn't fold, didn't fake
Still made room for grace...
I been through dark, I ain't tell no soul
Fought with pain, but I still let go
Tried to dim me down, I just glowed in silence
Kept my peace in storms, that's real defiance
Heart too deep for the shallow praise
I don't chase what's not mine, I just pray
If you ever see me quiet, just know-
That's me reservin' light for my own soul
I'm still booked, I'm still blessed
I don't need the crowd, I just need rest
If love don't grow me, it don't impress
I lost some people, but found my breath
I'm still booked, I'm still blessed
Built from moments that broke my chest
They call it lonely, I call it depth
I learned to choose me, and not regret
They ain't see what I saw in the dark
Wasn't born lucky, I just played my part
Every "no" taught me where to go
Every "yes" that I gave felt like soul on loan
I done danced with doubt, made peace with pain
Still I show up pure, no mask, no chain
I ain't for everybody-thank God
Only got room for truth, not façade
I'm still booked, I'm still blessed
I don't need the crowd, I just need rest
If love don't grow me, it don't impress
I lost some people, but found my breath
I don't need validation to feel divine
Sometimes survival was the prayer
Sometimes silence was the win
And sometimes...
Choosing peace was the loudest thing I ever did.
