[Intro – Spoken, filtered voice] They thought the smile meant softness They thought the light meant tame But I glow like a riot And I smile like it’s flame [Verse 1] Told me to shrink, so I spread my wings Tried to clip ‘em, but I learned to sing Laughed too loud? Must mean I’m wrong But my joy’s been loud all along I don’t sugar my truth no more Don’t tone it down when I hit the floor If you see me glowin’, just know this fact — I didn’t ask, I took it back [Pre-Chorus] They can't decode this frequency I’m not for quiet company If it’s too bright, just look away I was built to burn this way [Chorus] I smile like a weapon Dance like a dare Power in my posture Truth in my stare They said “be less,” I said “be more” So I lit up the night like never before Smile like a weapon Soft but bold Every move I make Turns silver to gold Laugh like thunder, heart like steel This joy? Too real to conceal [Verse 2] I wear my light like warpaint Glitter and guts, no restraint They don’t see me till I’m already there In heels or barefoot — I own that air Won’t wait for stage time, I make the stage Turned heartbreak into radiant rage Didn’t get here by being nice Got here ‘cause I paid the price [Pre-Chorus] I walk like rhythm Talk like flame I don’t play small I don’t play games Your doubt don’t dim me — watch me rise Joy in my chest and fire in my eyes [Chorus – Extended] I smile like a weapon Dance like a dare Power in my presence Truth in my glare Said I was “too much” — guess what? I’m just enough to burn this up Smile like a weapon Holy and loud Moving through shadows Head unbowed I am the storm that never ends And I glow like I don’t need to defend [Outro – Spoken or Half-Sung] This ain’t polite joy This is liberation joy This is holy noise This is the smile that flips the switch
