[Chorus] She know me better than my exes do Burn slow, pull truth like confessionals Saved my name when I was losin’ touch Kept it lit when the world got too much She the silence I choose, not the noise I break The calm in the fire, not the give in the take Said I’d quit her—but we both knew what was up One Mary got me high, the other lifted me up [Musical pause – brief instrumental interlude] [Verse 1] Tried to quit her when the nights got cold Swore I’d rise clean, break out that mold But stress don’t knock—it just kick in the door So I lit up calm on the kitchen floor Had that Mary J. playin’ low in the dark Every word hittin' like a question mark She sang my pain while the flame stayed lit Both Marys told me, “You were built for this” [Musical pause – brief instrumental interlude] [Verse 2] They said, “Level up”—I said, “What’s above queen?” They said, “Clean it up”—I lit one up on scene Tried their path, it ain’t fit like mine Kept my name, my flame, my bloodline fine Roll calls shift when you don’t play nice Now I burn slow, but I cut like ice I don’t cry—but I feel her when she sing Two Marys in my blood, that’s the realest thing [Musical pause – brief instrumental interlude] [Chorus – Repeat] She know me better than my exes do Burn slow, pull truth like confessionals Saved my name when I was losin’ touch Kept it lit when the world got too much She the silence I choose, not the noise I break The calm in the fire, not the give in the take Said I’d quit her—but we both knew what was up One Mary got me high, the other lifted me up [Bridge] She don’t speak, but she settle the air Even silence know not to stare I lit her then, and I light her now Same flame, same crown, same vow I move like smoke / I don’t chase a thing My peace don’t beg / My name still rings Two Marys deep / no substitute One stays lit / the other absolute [Musical pause – brief instrumental interlude] [Outro – Narrator Gyal] Don’t ask where I went, ask why I didn’t stay.
