(R&B • Emotional • Soulful • Modern Female Lead) ⸻ [Intro – Soft Harmony & Spoken] (Background singers humming) Mmm… yeah… (spoken softly) Let me remind myself who I am… ⸻ [Verse 1 – Smooth R&B Flow] God does not play about me. So why do I allow someone’s son or daughter to treat me the way they do? I am a smart, educated black woman, With dreams and strength you’ll never see through. If I show you and tell you I love you all the time and you still don’t believe, Then I am not the person you need. (Background echoes: “not the person you need…”) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Emotional Build] For love isn’t meant to be questioned or doubted, It’s something that should come naturally, not something I need to plead. You have traumatic traumas that still need to be addressed, I didn’t sign up for this mess, I don’t need your stress. (Ad-lib: “I don’t need your stress…”) ⸻ [Chorus – Big R&B Moment] I’ve carried burdens, I’ve learned to heal, But I won’t be your therapist when you can’t even feel. I’ve spent years building myself, piece by piece, A woman of wisdom, a force of peace. Yet here I am, stuck in your emotional wreck, Constantly giving, yet you just check. (Background harmonies: “I gave you all… you gave me less…”) ⸻ [Verse 2 – Strong, Confident R&B] Everyone wants to be my friend, But where were you when I needed someone to depend? If you haven’t scraped knees with me since I was ten, Then don’t ask for a place in my life again. (Ad-lib: “again… again…”) You see, my circle is tight, loyalties earned, Not something to be taken for granted or turned. I’ve learned to discern, to let go of what’s fake, I no longer carry the weight of someone else’s mistake. ⸻ [Bridge – Soft, powerful, reflective] So now I’m stepping out of your shadow, No longer caught up in the games you play, I deserve a love that’s pure, that’s real, Not built on illusions, but something I can feel. (Background singers: “Something I can feel…”) ⸻ [Refrain – Lifted Harmonic Moment] I am God’s child, precious and free, And no one gets to diminish the power inside me. (Ad-lib: “No one… no one…”) ⸻ [Final Chorus – Transformational] So this is where our story ends, It’s time for me to heal, to rise again. (Background harmonies swell: “Rise again… rise again…”) God does not play about me… (falsetto ad-lib: “No, no, no…”*) And I’m finally treating myself the same way
