[Verse 1] They said wait, they said no They said I was too much glow But I bloomed where they didn’t sow In the cracks, in the dark — I grow [Pre-Chorus] They don’t get to shape my spring I unfold without their ring No applause? I still sing No stage? I still bring [Chorus] I unfold anyway With the thunder, with the grace Even broken, I don’t break Even bent, I still blaze I unfold anyway No permission, no delay This joy’s not up for trade Watch me unfold — anyway [Verse 2] Yeah, I stretch past every cage Roots in rhythm, fierce with age Made of hush and holy rage Still I turn the page [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t asking for the light I just bloom loud overnight Soft and savage — both are right I was made for this height [Chorus] I unfold anyway With the thunder, with the grace Even broken, I don’t break Even bent, I still blaze I unfold anyway No permission, no delay This joy’s not up for trade Watch me unfold — anyway [🎤 Rap Break – 8 Bars of Swagger + Affirmation] I bloom in dirt they left behind Turned rejection into shine Told me “wait,” I hit rewind Now I'm gold they’ll never mine Say I’m loud — I say I’m clear I was born to bloom right here Soft don't mean I won’t defy I unfold and touch the sky [Final Chorus – Harmony Stack + Ad-libs] I unfold anyway With the thunder, with the grace Even broken, I don’t break Even bent, I still blaze I unfold anyway In my rhythm, in my sway Truth in bloom, I light the way Watch me unfold — anyway
