[Verse 1]
She carries a whole conversation inside before she speaks a word,
Every sentence already written, rewritten, then a third,
She built her walls before she knew what walls were even for,
A child who learned to manage the temperature of every floor,
That quick-cut mind has drafted speeches no one's ever heard,
She leads with certainty and bleeds in private, undisturbed

[PreChorus]
But the armor and the anthem aren't at war, they're both her own,
What she kept locked in the quiet is the thing that makes her known

[Chorus]
Jasmine, you were forged where two worlds pulled apart,
The public stride, the closely-guarded heart,
Every door you kicked wide open, you still stood in the cold,
Jasmine, you were always worth more than they told

[Verse 2]
She gives love like it's scripture, reads the good in people's worst,
Offers the whole cup, and doesn't say that she was thirsty first,
Diplomatic to the bone but underneath, a current drags,
She weighs each action on a scale that's held together by old rags,
The people she adored got grace she never kept in store,
She's still rewriting the agreement she made once at someone else's door

[PreChorus]
But every hand she steadied was a hand that shaped her grip,
The balance she kept giving away was hers to finally keep

[Chorus]
Jasmine, you won't find your worth in the verdict of the room,
The story you kept swallowing was never yours to consume,
Every truth you dug below the surface, every wall you climbed alone,
Jasmine, all that depth was carving you a home

[Verse 3]
Now something's shifting in the ledger she's been keeping half her life,
The tally of what's owed to her no longer reads like strife,
She's done decoding other people's fine print in the dark,
Done shrinking at the table just to keep the peace from falling apart,
The dreamer and the builder finally shaking hands inside,
She doesn't need permission now — she needs to let herself ride

[PreChorus]
The girl who named the wound before she named what she desired,
Is learning that the fiercest kind of healing looks like fire

[Chorus]
Jasmine, you've got unfinished business with the sky,
Every question that you buried is your compass moving right,
What's moving toward you now won't ask you to make yourself small,
Jasmine, you were always meant to take up all the hall

[Bridge]
She doesn't owe the room a softer version of her voice,
The ones who built their ease on her restraint — that was their choice,
She's got a mind that cuts through doctrine like a pen through borrowed creeds,
And a heart wide open, knowing now exactly what it needs

[Outro]
Go on, Jasmine, let the real one show,
Every word you ever swallowed — now let it go
