Main Character Energy

I used to play the background...
But baby, this scene?
This scene was made for me.
Lights, please.

Main character energy, watch me lead
Took the long road back to me
I used to dim, now I blind with ease
Healing in heels, grace in my teeth
No more shrinking to make you stay
I walk like the prayer I used to pray
Front and center, finally free-
This is what becoming looks like on me

They had me quiet, callin' it humble
Told me don't shine too much, don't stumble
But every "no" just built my stage,
Every scar turned into praise
Mirror said, "Girl, you been her"
So why you actin' like you unsure?
Now I step like I've always known-
I'm not just her... I'm home.

Main character energy, watch me lead
Took the long road back to me
I used to dim, now I blind with ease
Healing in heels, grace in my teeth
No more shrinking to make you stay
I walk like the prayer I used to pray
Front and center, finally free-
This is what becoming looks like on me

Say it louder for the ones in the back:
She ain't begging, she got range
She ain't bitter, she just changed
She ain't perfect-but she's present
And baby, that's her superpower, ain't it?

Let 'em whisper, let 'em talk
You don't need their lines to play your part
This is your scene, your script, your glow
Main character. Say so.

Main character energy, born to lead
Soft but unshakable, that's me
Danced with doubt, came out divine
Don't need a crown to know it's mine
All my shadows turned to flame
I walked through fire and kept my name
Center stage, unapologetically-
This is what becoming looks like on me

Fade to black?
Nah... I'm just getting started.
