Stop Playin', I'm Her

Yeah... you feel that?

New era. New walk. New fire.

Stop playin'... I'm her.

I done walked through the shadows, made a home in the fear

Learned to dance with my doubts till they disappeared

I was quiet in my power, didn't know what it was

Now the girl that I was ain't the woman I'm becoming because

Every lesson had a blessing that was waiting to surface

Now I'm stepping in my season with alignment and purpose

They can whisper, they can question-don't matter to me

'Cause the glow hit different when you finally believe

Stop playin', I'm her - yeah, the one they couldn't see

All the storms that tried to shake me made a diamond outta me

I'm the fire, I'm the light, I'm the shift in the room

Every step I take forward makes the doubt make room

Stop playin', I'm her - and I walk like I know

This the type of revelation that can't help but show

I was scared of my winning, used to shrink from the stage

Used to play it real small just to keep folks engaged

But the love for myself got a louder kind of tone

And the voice in my spirit said, "Baby, go claim your throne"

Ain't no past gonna haunt me, ain't no fear in my stride

I got heaven in my chest, and it's beating with pride

They can doubt it, they can wonder-don't matter to me

'Cause I bloom in the places they ain't want me to be

Stop playin', I'm her - yeah, the one they couldn't see

All the storms that tried to shake me made a diamond outta me

I'm the fire, I'm the light, I'm the shift in the room

Every step I take forward makes the doubt make room

Stop playin', I'm her - and I walk like I know

This the type of revelation that can't help but show

Mm, I rise 'cause He said rise

I shine 'cause He said shine

And every new day got a brand-new sign

Of the woman I'm becoming - yeah, the woman by design

So watch me, watch me...

The fear gone fade

The doubt gone run

The blessing been waiting - now the work is done

I ain't hiding, I ain't folding, I ain't shrinking no more
