Tried something honest, tried something raw
Now I’m second guessing every word I wrote
Is it the title? Is it the sound?
Is it the moment I drop it out?
Is it the way that I say one line?
Is it the moment I drop it out?
Is it the way that I say one line?
Or something I can’t define?

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to name it how it feels
Now I’m naming it to fit the deal
If I change the truth to make it clean
Is it even mine or just a screen?

[Chorus]
What am I allowed to call it now?
Say it straight or tone it down?
If it don’t fit, it don’t get seen
Even if it’s everything I mean
What am I allowed to be right now?
Say it loud or play it proud?
If I change just to belong
Then it’s not my voice in the song

[Post-Chorus]
Allowed, allowed
Tell me what’s allowed
Allowed, allowed
Say it how you want it now
Allowed, allowed
I’m losing what I found
Allowed, allowed
Turning voices down

[Verse 2]
Is it the video? Is it the name?
Is it the hook or the way I play?
Is it the timing, day or night?
Or something buried out of sight?
Can’t say frog, can’t say spit
Can’t say things that actually hit
Can’t say flaws, can’t say truth
Gotta package pain in something smooth

[Bridge]
I didn’t come here just to blend in
Didn’t start this just to pretend
If I erase what made me stand
Then what’s left in my hands?
Tell me straight, just give me one sign
What makes a song cross that line?
’Cause I’ve been chasing something blind
And it’s messing with my mind

[Final Chorus]
What am I allowed to call it now?
I won’t fake it just to fit the crowd
If it don’t fit, I’ll still release
Every word that came from me
What am I allowed to be right now?
I won’t shrink, I won’t back down
If it costs me everything
Then I’ll still say what I mean

[Outro]
Allowed, allowed
I won’t turn it down
Allowed, allowed
I’m still me right now
Allowed, allowed
Even if it’s loud
Allowed, allowed
I won’t filter out
