⸻
[Intro – soft spoken]
Yeah…
It’s my time now…
Twenty-one…
I made it…
(ad-libs: “mm…”, “finally me”, “yeah yeah”)
⸻
[Verse 1]
Stepped in the room, all eyes on me (on me)
Twenty-one candles, I’m who I’m ‘posed to be (to be)
I used to cry over people that left (left)
Now I only care about what’s next
Old me was broken, she don’t live here no more (no more)
I locked that pain and I closed that door (closed it)
Now I’m outside with a glow so real (so real)
They don’t understand how healing feel
(ad-libs: “mm mm”, “I’m different”, “yeah I see it now”)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t chase, I don’t beg, I don’t fold (nah)
Twenty-one, I’m in full control (control)
If you lost me, that’s on you for real (for real)
I upgraded how I feel
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m 21 and unbothered (unbothered)
Pretty face, but my heart been harder (harder)
I survived everything they said I couldn’t (couldn’t)
Now I’m livin’ like I knew I would
It’s my season, I can feel it now (feel it)
All that pain turned to power now (power)
I don’t need nobody to validate me
I’m 21 and finally free
(ad-libs: “yeah yeah”, “mm-hmm”, “I’m that girl”)
⸻
[Verse 2 – Rap / Talk-singing]
Look, I came from tears on my pillow case (yeah)
Now it’s smiles when I show my face (facts)
They didn’t believe, now they all watch close (watch)
Funny how they want me the most
I don’t argue, I just elevate (elevate)
Twenty-one, I just leveled up my fate (level up)
If you left me, that was part of the plan (it was)
Now I’m everything you don’t understand
(ad-libs: “mm mm”, “too late”, “yeah I know”)
⸻
[Bridge – emotional]
I cried, I healed, I grew, I changed (I changed)
Now I don’t feel that same old pain (no pain)
It’s my night, I’m in my light (my light)
Everything finally feels right
(ad-libs: “finally”, “mm…”, “I made it”)
⸻
[Final Chorus – big energy]
I’m 21 and unbothered (unbothered)
Pretty face, but my heart been harder (harder)
I survived everything they said I couldn’t (couldn’t)
Now I’m livin’ like I knew I would
It’s my season, I can feel it now (feel it)
All that pain turned to power now (power)
I don’t need nobody to validate me
I’m 21 and finally free
(ad-libs: “yeah yeah”, “mm-hmm”, “this my time”)
Outro – soft spoken]
Twenty-one…
I didn’t just grow up… I grew out…
And I’m never going back…
(ad-libs: “mm…”, “I’m good now”, “yeah”)
