[Verse 1]
She came into this world wired like a live current running free,
A mind that skips the textbook and rewrites what it sees,
The girl who built her own worth from the inside out,
Who counted every coin of self before she'd speak her truth aloud,
She carried something older than her years behind her eyes,
A composed and steady outside, and a kingdom held inside.

[PreChorus]
But the spotlight called her loudly and the stage knew her name,
She just had to learn that wanting to shine was never her shame.

[Chorus]
Tamika, you were forged in the deep and the bright,
Full moon in your bloodstream, two worlds in one light,
The current and the stillness, the roar and the hum,
Tamika, every part of who you are has always won.

[Verse 2]
She dreams in metaphor and builds in patience, one brick wide,
Her creativity a bonfire that no instruction could provide,
She'd pour her whole devotion out in gestures, never grand,
A secret dedication no one else could understand,
She walked into a room and softened every edge she found,
Then went home to the thunder of her own interior sound.

[PreChorus]
The tension never broke her, it just sharpened what was true,
Between the self she showed the world and all she never knew.

[Chorus]
Tamika, the fracture line was always where you grew,
What felt like contradiction was the fullest part of you,
The fire in the making and the wisdom in the wait,
Tamika, you were never early, you were never late.

[Verse 3]
Now something in the unseen shifts, a chapter starts to close,
The weight of what she carried now surrenders as she goes,
Not loss, but a releasing of the borrowed skin she wore,
The version of herself she kept for those who asked for more,
She's learning that the path ahead runs straight through her own chest,
That the boldest declaration is to give herself the best.

[PreChorus]
The old skin won't be missed, girl, let it fall at your feet,
What's underneath has always been the version you should keep.

[Chorus]
Tamika, now the long eclipse has finally pulled away,
What you release tonight is what was standing in your way,
The current and the stillness rise, two worlds become one voice,
Tamika, you were always this — go make the fullest noise.

[Bridge]
The girl who felt too much to say it plainly still got through,
Who built her worth in silence and then found the words rang true,
She doesn't need a verdict now, she's got the work, the proof,
Tamika is the evidence — she's standing on the roof.

[Outro]
Let the old eclipse roll back, let every held breath go,
Tamika, you were always this — it's time to let them know.
