Glow Up In The Dark

Had my back on the carpet

Ceiling fan doing slow laps

Phone full of missed calls

Heart full of old traps

Mama said “baby, you chosen”

I said “I’m tired of the fight”

She laid hands on my shoulders

Prayed courage into my spine

I’ma glow up in the dark (in the dark)

‘Cause the light been in my heart from the start (from the start)

They gon’ talk, they gon’ doubt, they gon’ bark

I just walk, head up, with the spark

I’ma glow up in the dark

Turn my scars into stars, into art

When it’s quiet and the world fall apart

I still glow up

Glow up in the dark

Used to chase every shortcut

Wore my shame like a name tag

Now I walk like I know love

Even when the day drags

Got a hymn in my earbuds

Got a dream in my chest plate

If the storm wanna test me

I just dance in the wet pavement

I’ma glow up in the dark (yeah, yeah)

‘Cause the light been in my heart from the start (from the start)

They gon’ talk, they gon’ doubt, they gon’ bark

I just walk, head up, with the spark

I’ma glow up in the dark

Turn my scars into stars, into art

When it’s quiet and the world fall apart

I still glow up

Glow up in the dark

Hands up high, eyes closed

Let it rise, let it overflow

Every “no” just fed my hope

Every loss made room to grow (grow)

I’ma glow up in the dark (in the dark)

‘Cause the light been in my heart from the start (from the start)

They gon’ talk, they gon’ doubt, they gon’ bark

I just walk, head up, with the spark

I’ma glow up in the dark

Turn my scars into stars, into art

When it’s quiet and the world fall apart

I still glow up

Glow up in the dark (oh yeah)
