Silhouette

(album: NO THANK YOU - 2022)

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 them on they toes, what I'm doin'? Pirouette
All this fake love got me feeling I'm the realest here
You know what the deal is here
She couldn't do this without me, yeah, that's they biggest fear
You didn't know, niggas wanna take credit for something they never own
Talking on my name like the Devil is on 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 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 proved that they talk with no keys, deep music
When the 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 theme 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 got to 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, realize you can't push my soul

Yeah, used to have a bond and now I see you as no friend of mine
Couldn't see you at the time, God was showing many signs
Going up with my eyes on very wide
Sitting here reflecting on myself and sipping cherry wine
Like we should've 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 is making me question my sanity
How could I ever doubt my truth and what I'm feelin'?
It's better revealing, we all need some healing
Racking my brain tryna discover the meaning
Who even knows, I had to look deep withing to find what I was seeking
Laying down, eyes closed, no sleeping
No appetite, I was barely eating
Hundred miles per hour, my heart beating
I know I got an army that I'm leading
Tyrna figure it out, bobbing and weaving
Compassion I 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 face
God's with you always

If this is evolution, I'm in luck
'Cause, 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 will 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
[?] but, I'll adjust
Everybody giving their opinion, but really, I should listen to my gut
No more kindness for weakness
I pull with that bullshit and I rip it in a barn
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, realize you can't push my soul

Touch will kill you
Touch will kill you
Find your way
Find your face
God's with you always
Time will kill you
Time will heal you
Find your way
Find your face
God's with you always
