(oh) Hold up—look around.
Feel the air,
slow down.
Walk in,
don’t rush it.
Eyes up, take a picture.
Who’s loud, who’s quiet?
What’s the mood in the mixture?
Step light,
let it settle.
Catch the drift, read the level.
If it’s tense, don’t press.
If it’s warm,
say less. Take one breath,
check your chest.
Read the room, then read yourself.
Read the room—read yourself.
Read the room—read yourself.
Know when to
move, know when to melt.
Read the room, then read yourself.
(yeah) Read the room—uh!
Read yourself—uh!
Hold that face, check that step.
Read the room, then read yourself.
Sometimes I’m the problem.
Sometimes I’m just tired.
I don’t need to prove it,
I just need it quieter.
Name my heat, let it cool.
Keep it real, keep it smooth. (hummmm)
What am I bringing in?
What am I pushing out?
If I can’t read my own skin,
I’m not ready to speak out.
Read it,
read it. Breathe in,
breathe out. Read the room—stay ready.
Read yourself—right now. Read the room—read yourself.
Read the room—read yourself.
If it’s not your moment,
put it on the shelf.
Read the room, then read yourself. (oh)
Look around, then look in.
That’s how I begin.
