LYRICS
People are either threatened or awed by your presence,
Strength what you carry within is your secret weapon.
Take their first reactions as a lesson,
It’s not material possession or status they envy, it’s your essence.
[Verse 1]
I walk my path, a quiet tread,
unaware of the fires I’ve fed, or what lies ahead.
Since I’ve developed distinctive flair, one cannot compare,
observers tend to stop and stare, feelings fluctuate,
caught in a sway like rocking chairs.
Lots of glares from resentful eyes,
notice how an influential wise being moves with a gentle guise.
Mystery causing suspense to rise, from a person with her mind right that shines bright.
Even after facing hardship, remains the kind type,
calm and humble, known for conveying life lessons through hindsight.
Some gather close, drawn by warmth of a quiet flame,
a light that bears no boast, no claim.
Being authentic- with the gift of grace,
can stimulate courage or instigate whispers laced with a bit of hate.
Insecure souls try to intimidate,
but I won’t be swayed by doubtful eyes.
nor let their envy cloud my skies.
With moderate composure, my light remains fluorescent,
unfazed by those who try to shame my essence.
[Chorus]
People are either threatened or awed by your presence,
Strength what you carry within is your secret weapon.
Take their first reactions as a lesson,
It’s not material possession or status they envy, it’s your essence.
People are either threatened or awed by your presence
Strength what you carry within is your secret weapon
Take their first reactions as a lesson
It’s not material possession or status they envy, it’s your essence.
[Verse 2]
By your snide remarks,
instincts is telling me, that jealousy’s potentially stirring inside your heart.
It starts to make sense, when you commence with an intense gaze,
body language betrays you, becoming transparent like X-rays.
Your next stage should be self-reflection,
question why my presence is making you feel so unpleasant,
Could it be layers of my essence of confidence, humility and strength is debunking your previous perception?
Introspection is suggesting that- perhaps in me you glimpse a spark,
that lights a path within the dark.
Campaigning to pick apart my soul is in effect,
somehow my harmless nature is now a considered threat.
Attempts to dishonor my intellect, humor and discipline,
your insolent tones assisting in fueling my vigilance.
My essence remains beautiful, bold and bright-
which only seems to offend the hearts that shuns the light and come to fight.
[Chorus]
People are either threatened or awed by your presence,
Strength what you carry within is your secret weapon.
Take their first reactions as a lesson,
It’s not material possession or status they envy, it’s your essence.
People are either threatened or awed by your presence
Strength what you carry within is your secret weapon
Take their first reactions as a lesson
It’s not material possession or status they envy, it’s your essence.
Outro:
Stay true to yourself.
Never allow a person’s fragile ego to compromise your self-worth.
A person’s inner strength or essence can shine naturally without the need for validation.
But it’s incredible how someone’s authenticity exposes the insecurity of others, Making them feel uncomfortable.
To remind them of what they lack or suppress.
But in hindsight, the quality that they envy might be a source of inspiration to rediscover their own hidden strength and potential.
