[clean production] [Intro: spoken] Yo Towa This one feel like sunlight, huh Lemme spill it out [Verse 1] Loose bun Baggy hoodie on my frame Little coffee in a paper cup Writing blessings by your name I been bruised Still I’m choosing grace again Turning all my little losses Into stories that we gain Yeah the world been loud But my heart stay quiet I plant peace, let it grow They just talk about riot They throw stones I throw shade, then a smile Walk away from the drama Like it’s just not my style [Verse 2] I don’t flex, I don’t fuss, I don’t fight like that I just hum, let the sun hit my braided back Got my peace in a tote bag, walking through the noon Turn a whole dark mood to a cartoon, soon Smile sharp like a fresh-lined fade (clean) But my heart stay soft, unafraid of the shade They throw stones, I grow flowers out the bruise Tiny little wins, yeah, that’s how I choose (uh) [Chorus] Oh, baby, tell me how it feels to be on the other side Oh, how you do it? You be lookin' like you ain't even got no worries You know you don't know no problems I'm tryin' to be just like you, baby, oh, yeah And it ain't no thang Ain't nobody tell me you was powerful, powerful But it don't matter 'cause you are powerful, powerful I didn't know you was powerful, powerful But it don't matter 'cause you are powerful, powerful [Verse 3] You don’t gotta roar Just to prove you got a heart I seen quiet girls Tear an empire apart With a look, with a word With a “nah, I’m done” Walking off from the chaos Like they already won I forgive what I can Let the rest fall loose Can’t control what they say But I choose what I choose I choose textin’ “you good?” Over keepin’ a grudge I choose tears in the car Over turning to sludge (yeah) [Verse 4] They push, I pivot, I don’t push back I just flip that script, turn an attack to a laugh “Girl, you too nice” — that’s a secret blade Cut through cold like tea that your mama made I send love in a group chat, hugs in the street Compliments tossed like confetti at your feet Bullies talk big then shrink in the light You can’t wrestle with joy when it’s shining this bright (hey) [Chorus] Oh, baby, tell me how it feels to be on the other side Oh, how you do it? You be lookin' like you ain't even got no worries You know you don't know no problems I'm tryin' to be just like you, baby, oh, yeah And it ain't no thang Ain't nobody tell me you was powerful, powerful But it don't matter 'cause you are powerful, powerful I didn't know you was powerful, powerful But it don't matter 'cause you are powerful, powerful [Bridge] If they cold We stay warm, stay warm (hey) If they shout We transform, transform If they break things We rebuild, reform Call it weak if they want We the quiet storm I toss all my grudges in the air (let ’em go) Watch ’em turn to glitter while we dancing on the stairs Laugh in the lobby, kindness as a dare Bet you can’t stay mad when the whole room cares [Chorus] Oh, baby, tell me how it feels to be on the other side Oh, how you do it? You be lookin' like you ain't even got no worries You know you don't know no problems I'm tryin' to be just like you, baby, oh, yeah And it ain't no thang Ain't nobody tell me you was powerful, powerful But it don't matter 'cause you are powerful, powerful I didn't know you was powerful, powerful But it don't matter 'cause you are powerful, powerful
