MY MOVE
Verse 1
You picked the wrong girl for an easy win,
Saw a soft heart, called it thin skin.
Had a head start, had the room convinced,
Had your cheap little story dressed like evidence.
I warned you once—I said it real nice,
“I ain’t the one, so you’d better think twice.”
You laughed like I was scared to let it show—
I was reading every tell while you were running your show.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t have to raise my voice
When I already know.
Chorus
Now it’s my move—get comfortable.
Truth takes time, but it takes its toll.
Your plan was basic, your information bad,
You got too damn cocky with the little you had.
I don’t need clean hands to prove yours are dirty;
I’ll own every mistake—you can’t hurt me with me.
You’ve been playing this game like the rules were yours,
But the deck’s been cut and the bets are closed.
Verse 2
I ain’t brand-new; I just don’t advertise
Every hard-earned lesson or the hell I survived.
You saw a woman standing there alone,
Thought that meant easy—thought that meant unknown.
But quiet ain’t stupid and kindness ain’t weak,
And I’m not afraid of what the truth might speak.
I let you keep talking while the pattern got clear;
Now you’re wondering how I got so damn sure from here.
Pre-Chorus
You mistook my giving grace
For not knowing my place.
Chorus
Now it’s my move—get comfortable.
Truth takes time, but it takes its toll.
Your plan was basic, your information bad,
You got too damn cocky with the little you had.
I don’t need clean hands to prove yours are dirty;
I’ll own every mistake—you can’t hurt me with me.
You’ve been playing this game like the rules were yours,
But the deck’s been cut and the bets are closed.
Bridge
Are you worried?
You probably should be.
Not ’cause I’ll become what you said about me.
I kept what mattered;
You kept talking.
You missed my move
’Cause you thought I wasn’t watching.
Breakdown
Do no harm.
Take no shit.
That’s been my line
And I stand by it.
I gave you an out;
You doubled the bet.
Don’t start crying
When the house collects.
Final Chorus
Now it’s my move—don’t look surprised.
You built your own trouble one lie at a time.
Your game was tired and your aim was wrong;
You mistook standing alone for not standing strong.
I’ll show my hands—you show yours;
Let the whole damn world decide.
I’ll own my wrongs in the broad daylight—
Can you say the same about yours tonight?
Outro
Hold what you got.
No more cards to hold.
You doubled down—
Now the bets are closed.
