I Always Saw the Light

[Intro]
Yeah…
They just now catchin’ on.
But I been knew.
You been that.

[Verse 1]
Way before the filters and the flash
Before the praise, the glow-up, the bag
I saw your worth in the smallest ways
Like how you laughed, how you prayed
You ain’t need a stage to shine bright
Your soul been golden, I saw that light
They just now clappin’ — that’s cool with me
I been front row, watchin’ silently

[Hook]
You glowed up, but I always saw the light
You were starin’ at mirrors, I saw a star in my sight
Now they lookin’, but I been inspired
You just leveled up, but I knew your fire
You glowed up, but I always saw the light
They just now see what I seen that night
When you didn’t feel enough, I held on tight
Girl, you shinin’ now — but you always had light

[Verse 2]
I remember your doubts, your off days
Still showed up with love in all ways
You ain’t just fine — you divine, for real
And your glow? That’s more than highlight and heels
It’s how you walk like you know who you are
How you bounce back, how you carry scars
I ain’t surprised they feelin’ your vibe
But I knew your value when you tried to hide

[Hook Repeat]
You glowed up, but I always saw the light
You were starin’ at mirrors, I saw a star in my sight
Now they lookin’, but I been inspired
You just leveled up, but I knew your fire
You glowed up, but I always saw the light
They just now see what I seen that night
When you didn’t feel enough, I held on tight
Girl, you shinin’ now — but you always had light

[Bridge]
They see your pics, I seen your soul
They hype your look — I felt your goals
You ain’t new to glow — they just late
I always saw more, girl… I saw fate

[Outro]
So let ’em cheer, let ’em chase your shine
You ain’t gotta prove nothin’ — you already mine
They just caught up, but I been on sight
You glowed up…
But I always saw the light.
