[Intro]
Yeah
Tanika
Uh
[Chorus]
Say my name, Tanika Traneice (Traneice)
Talk that talk but you talking to me (to me)
Big step, when I walk, I crease
Whole room freeze when I speak, capisce
Say my name, Tanika Traneice (Tanika)
Crown on tilt, I keep it petite (uh-uh)
Small frame, but the impact beast
Whole world loud when they play Traneice (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Came from the back of the back of the class
Writing my future in pen, no draft
Teachers said "manage your dreams, be safe"
Now they screenshot every post I make
Tanika on the banner, last name in bold
Family in the front row, tears in they soul
I don’t chase trends, they chase my page
Turn my scars to a center-stage
[Chorus]
Say my name, Tanika Traneice (Traneice)
Talk that talk but you talking to me (to me)
Big step, when I walk, I crease
Whole room freeze when I speak, capisce
Say my name, Tanika Traneice (Tanika)
Crown on tilt, I keep it petite (yeah)
Small frame, but the impact beast
Whole world loud when they play Traneice (Traneice)
[Verse 2]
Did it for the girls that they wrote off quick
For the quiet kids with the loud ideas
For the ones with the thrift-store fit
But a million-dollar mind between they ears
I’m the one they said "too much, too Black"
Now I sign my checks with a click, no cap
If they don’t clap, then the speakers will
Every bar I drop pay a bill, that’s real
[Chorus]
Say my name, Tanika Traneice (Traneice)
Talk that talk but you talking to me (to me)
Big step, when I walk, I crease
Whole room freeze when I speak, capisce
Say my name, Tanika Traneice (Tanika)
Crown on tilt, I keep it petite (oh yeah)
Small frame, but the impact beast
Whole world loud when they play Traneice
