[Verse 1]
She came in wired, two voices running in one mind,
Quick enough to catch what most folks left behind,
But the weight of showing up pressed stone-heavy on her frame,
She built her armor early, wore it like a second name,
Every room she entered she was sizing up the walls,
Already knew the exits before the curtain falls

[PreChorus]
The stage was always lit for her but she stood in the wing,
Convinced the world wasn't ready for everything she'd bring

[Chorus]
Tisha, you're the sharpest voice in a room that can't keep up,
You loved in secret chapters while you held the open cup,
Every door you kicked down left a scar they couldn't see,
Tisha, you were built for more than who they let you be

[Verse 2]
She fixes what is broken at the level no one checks,
The third draft on the notepad, the blueprint with the X's,
Her mind rewrites the systems while her hands still do the work,
She's spotted every flaw before the supervisors smirk,
And when the job fell through and left the ledger looking bare,
She overhauled the whole damn thing like she was always there

[PreChorus]
She priced herself in inches when she measured in miles,
Kept the honest want of love filed away in other people's files

[Chorus]
Tisha, the fire you kept hidden was never a disgrace,
You led without the credit, held the whole thing into place,
You walked through the undoing and came out the other side,
Tisha, every scar you carry is the proof you never lied

[Verse 3]
There's something in the way that she is learning now to trust,
Not the partner built from longing, not the mirror made of dust,
But the quiet kind of knowing when the story shifts in her,
When the bold love she was born with stops hiding in the blur,
She spent years collecting proof that she deserved to stay,
She doesn't need the verdict now — she's already on her way

[PreChorus]
The frequency she's tuned to has been calling her name,
And she's finally running toward it like she always came

[Chorus]
Tisha, let the deep thing in you rise without apology,
The version of yourself you hid is your full biography,
You're not the interrupted draft, you're not the quiet shelf,
Tisha, it was always you — go introduce yourself

[Bridge]
She kept the love tucked under lock and key like contraband,
Now she's learning that the softest things belong inside her hands,
The healer and the hunger and the mind that never stops,
All of it was always hers — she's done picking up the drops

[Outro]
Tisha, take the center,
Every word you've swallowed, let it enter,
You were never too much — you were always enough,
Now walk in like you know it, because you do
