[singer A] I enter the darkness, I don't need to run, I move like the moon when it swallows the sun, I don't chase attention—I summon the crowd, I barely move forward, yet I speak without sound. My heels touch the floor with deliberate grace, I take my sweet time while I conquer the space, You think I am moving too slow? Watch me now— For queens don't rush... I slow it down. [transition] [singer B] I shift my weight slowly, then let my hips sway, I don't waste a motion, I don't throw it away, I glide through the floor like a shadow at night, Each step is intentional, each angle just right. I know where I'm going, I know where I've been, I don't need to hurry to make you give in, My silence has power, my stillness has sound, So watch how a queen makes an entrance—slow down. I don't fill every moment with movement or sound, Sometimes I simply stand and let silence surround, I hold my position, I breathe, then I stare, And suddenly everyone knows I am there. You call it a pause—I call it control, For stillness can speak straight into the soul, The secret isn't speed, it's the power I've found: The longer I pause, the more I command. [transition] [singer A] I never confuse being slow with afraid, My pace is a weapon, deliberately made, I move with intention, I move with desire, I let every motion slowly build fire. I don't have to prove that I belong in the room, My presence arrives before I make a move, I give you enough, then I leave you without— Because mystery grows when I slow it down. And when the music is calling for more, I don't have to answer by racing the floor, I can stop on a beat, let the silence ignite, Then take one slow step and reclaim the night. The pause is my punctuation, the stillness my art, I let anticipation pull them apart, Then when I finally move, every eye follows through— Because I made them wait for what I chose to do. I AM AKASHA. I RULE THIS GROUND. I DON'T RUSH. I SLOW... IT... DOWN.
