I’ll play the villain
If that means protecting my calm and my clarity
You can envy me
I was the giver
Selfless beginner
Pouring from empty, mistaking it charity
If loving me means choosing me
And that unsettles you
Then maybe distance is destiny too
I threw the party for everybody else
Couldn’t invite myself
Now I see I was shrinking for you
⸻
They don’t water intention
They just celebrate bloom
Roots grow in silence
Long before they see proof
You can’t manifest peace
With chaos inside
The day I chose alignment
Was the day my life replied
⸻
They call me villain when I level up
When I protect my peace and double up
When I stop chasing and I let it come
That’s when the blessings start running up
The day I stopped shrinking
Was the day I expanded
The day I stopped forcing
Was the day it landed
You can keep the noise
I’ll keep my light
Villain by opinion
But aligned by life
⸻
I used to measure worth by reaction
Till God said impact ain’t captioned
Every post ain’t for praise — some survival
Some for the ones discovering revival
Money don’t sit where fear still breathes
Wealth don’t grow where resentment feeds
I manifested space to heal
Now love show up and it feel real
I stopped begging for understanding
Started standing
Energy clean — abundance expanding
They want the drama, that’s what’ll pop
But I won’t sell my soul to feed a clock
Trauma trend fast, healing move slow
But what’s built in truth outlive the show
⸻
Stop counting hands
Start counting hearts
Stop watching numbers
God watching scars
They can’t applaud
What they don’t understand
But I was anointed
Not algorithm planned
⸻
They call me villain when I level up
When I protect my peace and double up
When I stop chasing and I let it come
That’s when the blessings start running up
The day I stopped shrinking
Was the day I expanded
The day I stopped forcing
Was the day it landed
You can keep the noise
I’ll keep my light
Villain by opinion
But aligned by life
Yeah…
Villain by opinion
But aligned by life.
