Shhh… You hear that? Mmm… don’t start with me tonight… (little giggle) Hee-hee… Yeah… I’m outside. [BEAT DROP — HARD 808s] [VERSE 1] Came through clean, but my mind been loud, Had to lose some things just to make me proud, I been through storms, still I stand real tall, Funny how they doubted me, now they watch it all. I don’t chase no room, I bring my own light, New York in my voice, got that Brooklyn bite, Little bit sweet, little bit wild, Grown-woman energy with a mischievous smile. (ha!) [PRE-CHORUS] I know what I bring, I know who I am, I walked through the fire and came out again, No need to explain, I’m good where I stand, Baby, this confidence came straight from the land. (that part!) [CHORUS] Talk that talk, baby, let ’em hear you now, Head held high, ain’t nobody bringing you down, Move like you know, let your whole vibe show, If they didn’t see it then— BET THEY SEE IT NOW! (uh-huh!) Talk that talk, but keep your heart real, Joy in my step, yeah, you know the deal, I came too far just to play it small, When I walk through the door— I’MA LIGHT UP THE WALL! (woo!) [VERSE 2 — NEW VERSE / FAST PLAYFUL RAP] Look— I walked in quiet, now the whole room shift, Funny how the energy change when I catch my drift, I been minding my business, staying in my lane, But somehow my name still popping up again. (uh-oh!) I got that “watch me” walk, that “I know” face, Little Brooklyn spice with a whole lotta grace, I don’t need permission, I don’t need applause, I know what I survived, I know what I fought for. (that’s right!) Turn the music up, let me loosen my mind, I done left old versions of myself behind, If you see me smiling, baby, let me shine, I ain’t lucky—I put in work every time. (work!) And when that bass hit, watch me switch that mood, Little bit classy, little bit rude— Not disrespectful, just don’t get it confused, I’m grown, I’m blessed, and I got nothing to prove. (ha!) [BRIDGE — BEAT PULLS BACK] Whisper my name… (shhh) Watch me glow… I know where I been, And I know where I’m going. No fear… no shame… I’m stepping into mine… (little giggle) Okay… now run that back. [FINAL CHORUS — BIG RADIO HOOK] Talk that talk, baby, let ’em hear you now, Head held high, ain’t nobody bringing you down, Move like you know, let your whole vibe show, If they didn’t see it then— BET THEY SEE IT NOW! (yeah!) Talk that talk, baby, this is my time, Whole lotta grace with a whole lotta shine, I came too far just to play it small, When I walk through the door— I’MA LIGHT UP THE WALL! (LET’S GO!) [OUTRO — WHISPERED] Shhh… Don’t tell ’em I warned you. (little giggle) I told you… I’m just getting started.
