[Intro] They think they know me They never listen They do that small talk I do big vision (yeah) [Verse 1] Smile on my face, they assume I’m safe Pat me on the head like I’m out my place Say “you’re cute,” when I state my case Then steal my lines, won’t say it to my face They clap too soft when I hit that mark Then dim my shine when I spark in the dark I been the spine in a house of glass They lean on me, then forget my past (mm) [Chorus] You only see my shadow, never see the storm You wanna keep me quiet, I was born to warn You only see my outline, never hear the roar You turn your back on diamonds Till they’re cut and raw (yeah) You underestimated Now you can’t ignore All this small talk, big storm [Verse 2] They love my work, but they hate my name Quote my words, then they play their games Call me “girl” when I call my price Then act surprised when I ask it twice (pay up) I carried teams that forgot my weight They ate my time while they cleared their plates They text me late when the fires start But never check in when I tear apart (nah) [Chorus] You only see my shadow, never see the storm You wanna keep me quiet, I was born to warn You only see my outline, never hear the roar You turn your back on diamonds Till they’re cut and raw (so raw) You underestimated Now you can’t ignore All this small talk, big storm [Bridge] Funny how the volume rises Soon as I get loud Funny how they memorize me Now I draw a crowd (hey) All that side-eye, all that doubt Turned me to a blade You wrote me off in pencil I carved my own name [Chorus] You only see my shadow, never see the storm You wanna keep me quiet, I was born to warn You only see my outline, never hear the roar You turn your back on diamonds Till they’re cut and raw You underestimated Now you beg for more All that small talk, big storm (big storm)
