[INTRO – warm vinyl crackle, soft piano]
[Spoken – calm, grounded]
They think being gentle
Means being easy.
That’s a damn lie.
⸻
[VERSE 1 – spoken-rap, poetic]
[Rapped – smooth, intentional]
I was giving grace to people who abused it
Calling it love when it felt confusing
They took my softness for permission
Tried to test my patience like a limit
I was holy, still human
Still learning what respect look like
Now I choose me without guilt
And I sleep real good at night
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS – melodic, reflective]
[Sung – low, steady]
I don’t need to raise my voice
To make my boundaries loud
I don’t need to prove my heart
To anyone who played around
⸻
[CHORUS – soulful, empowering]
[Sung – layered, warm]
I’m holy, not soft
Don’t get it f*cked up
I lead with love
But I won’t let you cross
I forgive, I grow
I still say no
I’m kind with intention
Not blind to the cost
⸻
[VERSE 2 – deeper, more assertive]
[Rapped – calm confidence]
I used to explain myself too much
Tryna make broken people comfortable
Now I let silence do the talkin’
If it don’t align, it’s refundable
Some folks only love the access
Not the woman with the mind
So I cut ties without anger
And I call that divine
⸻
[BRIDGE – stripped back, emotional honesty]
[Spoken / Sung – intimate]
I ain’t bitter, I’m aware
There’s a difference, sit with that
I don’t hate nobody
I just won’t lower where I’m at
[Soft harmony enters]
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – fuller, confident]
[Sung – strong, grounded]
I’m holy, not soft
Don’t get it f*cked up
I give grace, not access
When trust is messed up
I heal, I rise
I still protect mine
I’m peace in my body
And fire when crossed
⸻
[OUTRO – spoken, wise, calm]
[Spoken – warm certainty]
Being gentle
Doesn’t mean being weak.
It means I choose when to be quiet…
And when to speak.
[Music fades]
