Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walked in with my name
And my papers in my hand
You smiled like a judge
Then you checked me like a man
I spoke from my own schooling
Years you never held
You heard my truth
And filed it under swell
[Pre-Chorus]
You called me hard to love
Called my pain a pose
But I know what I lived
And I know what grows
From the cracks in your story
From the lies you sold
I kept my head up high
Even when you went cold
[Chorus]
I was not the threat
I was not the threat (not the threat)
You dressed your fear like truth
But the truth still speaks
I was not the threat
I was not the threat (not the threat)
Karma keeps my name
And karma will defend
[Verse 2]
When they said I was dramatic
I was still standing there
With the weight of every no
Cutting through the air
You took my facts for weakness
My scars for something small
But a woman who survives it
Can outlast you all
[Pre-Chorus]
You called me too loud
Then too calm to feel
Trying to rename my fire
Trying to bend my steel
But I read your mouth
And I read your game
I won’t shrink myself
Just to spare your shame
[Chorus]
I was not the threat
I was not the threat (not the threat)
You dressed your fear like truth
But the truth still speaks
I was not the threat
I was not the threat (not the threat)
Karma keeps my name
And karma will defend
[Bridge]
Now the room got quiet
When I said it plain
What you called confusion
Had a very real name
I’m the page you tore out
I’m the voice you tried to tame
Still I stand here singing
And I say it again
[Final Chorus]
I was not the threat
I was not the threat (not the threat)
You dressed your fear like truth
But the truth still speaks
I was not the threat
I was not the threat (not the threat)
Karma keeps my name
And karma will defend
Karma will defend (will defend)
Karma will defend

Style
Slow blues shuffle with a tense minor-key groove, brushed drums and bent electric guitar answering each line; verse stays sparse and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with organ swells and handclaps, chorus hits with stacked female harmonies and a rough call-and-response. Short guitar licks between lines, tape hiss and room tone for grit. Intimate, smoky, and defiant, blues
