Lyrics

Your future self is not waiting for permission.
She is not waiting for the money, the body, the love, the applause.
She is waiting for embodiment.
Become her first.
Then watch the world adjust.

I used to wait for the perfect time
For the open door, for the golden sign
Thought I needed proof before I rose
Thought I needed flowers before I chose

But I was the garden before it bloomed
I was the light in an empty room
I was the answer before they asked
I was the future beneath the past

So I stopped asking life to show me
Who I was allowed to be
I stopped waiting for the mirror
To reflect the queen in me

I walked like she was already here
I spoke like she was near

Become her first
Then watch the world obey
Walk like the answer
Before they know your name

Become her first
Let the old life fall away
You don’t need the evidence
When your soul has already changed

Become her first
Become her now
Crown on your spirit
Feet on the ground

I changed my room, I changed my tone
Stopped making strangers feel like home
I chose my peace, I chose my face
I chose the woman I refused to erase

No more dressing fear as fate
No more calling myself too late
No more waiting to be found
I build my heaven from the ground

They see the glow and call it luck
But they didn’t see when I showed up
With nothing but a trembling prayer
And a future breathing in the air

I became her in the silence
I became her in the ache
I became her every morning
I had a new choice to make

I didn’t wait to feel divine
I made her mine

Become her first
Then watch the world obey
Walk like the answer
Before they know your name

Become her first
Let the old life fall away
You don’t need the evidence
When your soul has already changed

Become her first
Become her now
Crown on your spirit
Feet on the ground

She is not far
She is not gone
She is the voice
That keeps you strong

She is not later
She is not someday
She is the woman
You choose today

You keep looking for signs,
but your new life is looking for consistency.

You keep asking, When will it happen?
But the real question is:
when will you stop acting like the old version
and calling it patience?

Become her when it’s lonely
Become her when it’s hard
Become her when the old life
Comes begging for your heart

Become her with no witness
Become her with no praise
Become her in the hallway
Before the golden gates

Become her in your body
Become her in your breath
Become her every time you rise
From what was meant to be your death

Become her first
Then watch the world obey
Walk like the answer
Before they know your name

Become her first
Let the old life fall away
You don’t need the evidence
When your soul has already changed

Become her first
Become her now
Crown on your spirit
Feet on the ground

Become her first
Before they see
Before they clap
Before they believe

Become her first
And don’t look back
The future is yours
When you stop turning back

The life you want is not waiting outside of you.
It is waiting for you to stop betraying the woman
who already knows the way.

Become her first
Become her now
She already knows
