Not welcome here

Not Welcome Here

(R&B Spoken Word — For Davey Baby

Intro (soft, almost whispered)

Davey Baby - Da Queen

Come sit right here for a second.

Let me remind you who you are.

Verse 1 (Spoken)

Davionna

You didn’t survive all that

Just to let old feelings

Rent space in your heart again.

None of what found you

Was invited.

None of it was deserved.

Some things attach themselves

Without reason,

Without warning—

And only the universe knows why

Certain shadows try to circle certain light.

And still—

I’m proud of how you grew through it.

Proud of how you kept your softness.

Proud of how you didn’t let it name you.

You learned how to breathe through moments

That were too heavy for your age.

You learned restraint.

You learned grace.

You learned how to choose peace—

Even when pain kept trying to knock on your door,

you stayed steady.

And your light kept shining—

not because of it,

but in spite of it.

Transition (beat drops in gently)

And listen, Davey Baby —

Just because something tries to return

Doesn’t mean it belongs.

Chorus (Sung)

Tell them, Davionna

What tried to come back

Is not welcome here

I’ve grown past that

I see too clear

I release the weight

I dismiss the fear

I’m protected now

I’m covered here

Verse 2 (Spoken)

Jealousy gets loud

When it’s confused.

It recognizes your light

But doesn’t know how to use its own.

Davey Baby

That’s not your responsibility.

You don’t dim.

You don’t explain.

You don’t wrestle with

What no longer has access to you.

You are not who they see—

Davey Baby you are who you’re becoming. The Queen

And becoming takes courage

Most people never touch.

Chorus (Sung)

Tell them, baby…

What tried to come back

Is not welcome here

I’ve grown past that

I see too clear

I release the weight

I dismiss the fear

I’m protected now

I’m covered here

Bridge (Spoken — Grandma’s pride & authority)

Listen to me, Davionna—

I see your growth.

I’m proud of how you move now—

with intention, with calm, with self-respect.

Your spirit shines brighter,

That’s why you stand out in any crowd.

Everything about you carries light.

Not everyone gets access.

Not everyone belongs at your table.

You get to choose what stays.

Davey Baby,

You are becoming your highest self.

Only what’s aligned

Is invited.

Final Chorus (Sung)

Tell them, DaviOnna

I’m not who I was

I’m who I’m becoming

I choose myself

I choose my healing

I let go of the past

I stand in my crown

I rise in love

I elevate now

Outro (soft, reassuring)

You’re safe now, Davionna

You’re loved, Davey Baby .

You’re steady.

And whatever tried to come back—

It doesn’t get your crown.

Because you are a queen

Just by being you.

Grandma’s got you.

Always.
