I HEARD YOU by Rose Gem

Pre-Chorus
My tongue is real sharp and I have much to lose
I stayed calm in the moment don’t get it confused,
I was listening real closely even the smallest remark
I have a social sense reading your energy part by part

Chorus
I heard you… yeah, I heard you,
every slick comment, every sideways truth.
I heard you… and I saw you,
I just didn’t give you what you came to use.
If you notice less of me,
that’s good for me not you
I didn’t miss a thing you did,
I heard you…
So you can continue to act stupid

Verse 2
I heard you through the envy,
through the fake concern,
through the compliments with knives in ‘em,
thought I wouldn’t discern.
I heard you through the distance,
through the games you play,
Through the “I was just joking”
when the truth slipped out your face.

Chorus
I heard you… yeah, I heard you,
every slick comment, every sideways truth.
I heard you… and I saw you,
I just didn’t give you what you came to use.
If you notice less of me,
than thats good for me not you
I didn’t miss a thing you did,
I heard you…
Annoying one keep acting stupid

Bridge (chant)
This one’s for the friends that clap with one hand.
The people that throw stones
then hide behind “the word”
I don’t announce my exits…
I just get quieter before you finish your blink
When I’m gone and it sets in.  You can’t even think

Part 2 Rap
I heard you—
You said you usin’ me for what? (laughs)
Fuck you, dude, you can kiss my butt.
Said it out loud like I wouldn’t clock that slip,
Whole time gigglin’, watchin’ you trip on your script.
You thought it was cute, thought I wouldn’t react,
I just smiled real calm and kept stackin’ the facts.
You mistook my grace for a door you could push,
Now you mad ‘cause it closed and I still look good.
I heard you jokin’, laughin’, feelin’ real slick,
Didn’t raise my voice—nah, I let karma hit.
Now I laugh every time you mention my name,
‘Cause I won so clean it don’t even feel like a game.
You was usin’ me loud for 20.  While I was playin’ it smart,
Heard it all… laughs again …and never missed that part

Part 2 Rap 
I heard you, yeah I heard every whisper when you grinned,
Side-eyes, back channels, tryna tap my info in.
Laughin’ when I said I’d be on top—like I ain’t have a choice,
Whole room felt funny, caught the tremble in your voice.
Reportin’ through a friend, sneaky calls for the scoop,
Tryna study my moves, tryna see what I’ll do.
It’s cool though, keep watchin’, this a front-row seat,
I’m already checkmate while you playin’ with the sheet.
Hook / Run
I’d rather see your jaw drop twice—first when I win,
Then when you swear you been my friend.
Once when you choke on how wrong you been,
Then when you realize you’ll never get in.
Then when you remember who you tried to spin,
I will see your fake little grin cave in.
When you clock how quiet my revenge been,
You’ll notice I never needed you, friend.
Verse 2
You realized you misjudged a bitch,
Every move I make gon’ make your ass itch.
Pressure stay clean, I don’t argue, I ascend,
Silent elevation—watch the narrative bend.
I always been on top—top ten, stamp that,
While you keep recyclin’ lies you can’t back.
Last thing you’ll realize when the numbers all end?
I heard it all… and I still grinned.
