[Intro]
He said, “You move different.”
I said, “Yeah — discipline looks sexy.”
Built my edge from work, not mood
Still — I fell, right on cue
[Verse 1]
I’m sharper than your daddy’s plan
Don’t need a savior, I need a man
He said “relax,” I said “I lead,”
He blinked once — I plant a seed
Built my lane, no plus one ride
You bring peace or step aside
I speak fact, I live tone
Soft on skin, but mind full grown
[Bridge]
Don’t test calm, I earned that phase
I burn slow — that’s how I blaze
If you stay, stay firm, not loud
I need depth — not crowd
[Chorus]
Harder than your father’s word
Still melt when I’m heard
If I let you in, it’s earned
Not luck — it’s learned
Harder than your father’s word
Still melt when I’m heard
If I let you in, it’s earned
Not luck — it’s learned
[Bridge]
He said “you’re tough, you scare the room,”
I said “that’s strength — not doom.”
He said “love ain’t built on fight,”
I said “mine needs power and light—”
Wait, forbidden — “mine needs power and right.”
[Verse 2]
I keep pace where others sleep
Talk less — my moves run deep
If I care, it’s not by whim
You can’t fake roots when they stem from grim
He talks calm, I test proof
Can he stand truth under roof?
I ain’t soft, I’m just rare
I feel sharp — but I still care
[Bridge]
Love me with spine, not fear
Speak clear, stay near
If you rise, I’ll rise too
But don’t fold when I do
[Rap]
You want cute, I want equal — we don’t mix unless it’s sequel
You want charm, I want stance, you talk game — I run finance
You flex tough, but I write test, my score clean, your proof’s a guess
Every line I drop’s from fact, I play real — no act
You call bold — I call norm, I rewrite how hearts perform
Don’t flirt if you can’t invest, don’t try if you won’t contest
You talk love — I talk growth, mine got edge — not oath
I’m the case they can’t defend, the start, the clause, the end
You say “why you so precise?” ‘Cause soft don’t mean nice
You can match pace — or step aside twice
[Chorus]
Harder than your father’s word
Still melt when I’m heard
If I let you in, it’s earned
Not luck — it’s learned
Harder than your father’s word
Still melt when I’m heard
If I let you in, it’s earned
Not luck — it’s learned
[Outro]
Tough don’t cancel love — it defines it
