[04:02.00]“Zuri”
[04:02.00]Verse 1
[04:02.00]I glow different when I don’t explain
[04:02.00]When I don’t audition for your attention again
[04:02.00]I dress for me, I laugh out loud
[04:02.00]I don’t need a crowd
[04:02.00]I learned the power of walking alone
[04:02.00]Head held high, phone left at home
[04:02.00]No mirrors telling me who to be
[04:02.00]I already see me
[04:02.00]Pre-Chorus
[04:02.00]I used to wait for compliments
[04:02.00]Like they meant the truth
[04:02.00]Now I know my worth exists
[04:02.00]Even without you
[04:02.00]Chorus
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — I shine in peace
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — no need to compete
[04:02.00]I’m not hiding, I’m just free
[04:02.00]And that’s beautiful to me
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — I take my space
[04:02.00]Soft confidence, no need to chase
[04:02.00]I don’t borrow energy
[04:02.00]This is beautiful to me
[04:02.00]Verse 2
[04:02.00]I post less, I live more
[04:02.00]I don’t knock on closed doors
[04:02.00]If I’m not invited in
[04:02.00]I bless it and move on
[04:02.00]I stopped shrinking to fit the frame
[04:02.00]Stopped changing just to be chosen
[04:02.00]I don’t dim my light anymore
[04:02.00]To make someone feel taller
[04:02.00]Pre-Chorus
[04:02.00]They can look, they can talk
[04:02.00]It doesn’t shake my ground
[04:02.00]I found a quiet kind of love
[04:02.00]That doesn’t make a sound
[04:02.00]Chorus
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — I shine in peace
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — no need to compete
[04:02.00]I’m not hiding, I’m just free
[04:02.00]And that’s beautiful to me
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — skin and soul
[04:02.00]Comfortable in my own glow
[04:02.00]I don’t ask permission to be
[04:02.00]This is beautiful to me
[04:02.00]Bridge (minimal, confident)
[04:02.00]I don’t need to be desired
[04:02.00]To feel desired inside
[04:02.00]I don’t need to be admired
[04:02.00]To know I’m alive
[04:02.00](beat drops, bass + snap, 8 bars)
[04:02.00]Final Chorus (harmonies, bigger)
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — let the rhythm say
[04:02.00]I’m enough in every way
[04:02.00]No approval, no debate
[04:02.00]I arrive, I don’t wait
[04:02.00]Zuri, zuri — clear and true
[04:02.00]I like who I am becoming into
[04:02.00]I stand gentle, I stand free
[04:02.00]And that’s beautiful to me
[04:02.00]Outro
[04:02.00]Soft steps, steady glow
[04:02.00]Zuri… zuri…
