Glow Up On Trial

[Verse 1]
I remember when they laughed at my thrift fit
Hand-me-down shoes, cafeteria misfit
Now they screenshot every story that I post
Same mouths talking, same ghosts, doing the most
You said I’d never be the main, just a side note
Now you’re typing from a burner in a typo
“Guess you changed” — yeah, my standards and my skincare
You stayed stuck, I just moved to a new air
[Pre-Chorus]
You hate my glow, but you love my reflection
Call it fake, but you crave the attention
Tell yourself I don’t deserve this shine
If I were you, I’d lie too, to feel fine (feel fine)
[Chorus]
Glow up on trial, I’m the judge and the jury
Every scar I survived turned to armor and jewelry
You throw your shade, I just turn it to light
If loving myself is a crime
Then I’m guilty tonight, tonight
(so guilty, yeah)
[Verse 2]
You say, “she changed,” like it’s some accusation
But I bled for this version, that’s my liberation
You want power over me through your rumors and replies
But you can’t cancel what survived a thousand goodbyes
You justify every comment like it’s “just a joke”
But I see the fear shaking every word you wrote
You want justice for the you that never grew up
So you punish every girl who finally glows up
[Pre-Chorus]
You hate my glow, but you love to keep watching
Every click is a crown that you’re clocking
Tell yourself I don’t deserve this rise
If I were you, I’d lie too, to feel right (feel right)
[Chorus]
Glow up on trial, I’m the judge and the jury
Every scar I survived turned to armor and jewelry
You throw your shade, I just turn it to light
If loving myself is a crime
Then I’m guilty tonight, tonight
Glow up on trial, but the verdict is mine
You can charge me with pride, I’ll still walk the line
You want me smaller so your world feels right
If loving myself is a crime
I’ll keep doing time, tonight
(oh, I’ll do the time)
[Bridge]
Power isn’t owning people
Power is owning your past
Justice isn’t envy dressed in
Cheap words that never last
So hate me, rate me
Twist the story, underrate me
But you can’t break me, can’t re-make me
I already forgave me (yeah)
[Chorus]
Glow up on trial, I’m the judge and the jury
Every scar I survived turned to armor and jewelry
You throw your shade, I just turn it to light
If loving myself is a crime
Then I’m guilty tonight, tonight
Glow up on trial, but I walk out alive
Turn your poison to proof that I made it out right
You want me silent, but I own this mic
If loving myself is a crime
I’ll confess every night, every night (hey!)
