Live Your Truth

Intro

Yo, listen up, yeah, come closer, I got a story to tell

The world won't move the way you think it should, na-na

They judge by beauty, by charm, they don't see the good, oh-oh

Smile wide, give love, patience, respect, but envy waits in corners, trying to dissect, uh-huh

Verse

They say, "Be kind, be giving, show your heart," (show your heart)

But even angels face storms, torn apart, yeah

No matter how bright, they try to dim your flame, (dim your flame)

Call your soul fake, your love a game, na-na

Pre-chorus

I see it in the eyes, whispers behind closed doors, (whispers)

Friendly masks hiding poison, jealousy pours, oh-oh

Women watch women, men watch men, (watching)

Comparing, competing, again and again, uh-huh

Chorus

Live your truth, don't bend for the shade, (don't bend)

Rise through fire, let your spirit cascade, (cascade)

Love without chains, fear without mask, (without mask)

Speak from your chest, complete your task, yeah

Verse

You think giving makes you safe, loyalty earned, (loyalty earned)

But every kind act is tested, your heart gets burned, oh-oh

Some create storms to avoid facing the rain, (facing the rain)

Judge you on triggers, ignoring your pain, na-na

Pre-chorus

Eyes speak louder than smiles ever could, (ever could)

They reveal the truth in ways words never would, uh-huh

Some come to drain, not to lift or to heal, (not to heal)

Fake hearts pretending, their intentions unreal, yeah

Chorus

Live your truth, don't bend for the shade, (don't bend)

Rise through fire, let your spirit cascade, (cascade)

Love without chains, fear without mask, (without mask)

Speak from your chest, complete your task, yeah

Verse

Why shame a sneeze? Why hide a breath? (hide a breath)

Why feel guilty for normal life, avoid natural death? (natural death)

A coin falls, a step slips, we cringe and pretend, (pretend)

While cruelty and pride are celebrated, they never end, oh-oh

Bridge

Women watch each other, eyes full of fire, (eyes full of fire)

Masked smiles, hidden envy, hearts desire, (hearts desire)

Why not lift each other, why poison the flow? (poison the flow)

Love should expand, not shrink in shadow, yeah

Outro

Shadows can't touch what's real inside, (real inside)

Hearts open wide, let the soul decide, (let the soul decide)

Live your story, no shame, no lies, (no lies)

Truth never hides, it only rises, uh-huh
