90’s-Early 2000’s Vibes

Empress of the Blues Bessie Smith

I Am the Storm

[Intro]
I don’t crawl. I don’t pray.
I don’t break. I don’t stay.
I clash. I tear. I form.
I am the STORM.


---

[Verse 1]
You wanted calm, but I brought the flood,
I carve my name in fire and mud.
You touched the sky—
And felt the crack,
Now thunder follows every step you lack.

[Pre-Chorus]
You mistook silence for my grace,
But I was lightning in disguise.
You thought desire could be contained,
But I’m the tempest in your veins.


---

[Chorus]
I don’t whisper, I roar.
I don’t leave, I pour.
I don’t heal, I consume,
Like shadows crashing in a midnight room.
I’m not your shelter, I’m the fight,
Relentless, fierce, no end in sight.
No soft horizon to keep you warm—
I am the STORM.


---

[Verse 2]
You prayed for peace, but I brought the flood,
Every word you spoke—drowned in my blood.
You can’t bind wind, you can’t hold rain,
I’ll haunt your walls, I’ll shake your name.

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave no mercy, made no vow,
I cracked the sky—I’m breaking now.
You wanted beauty with no cost,
But I was chaos, and you got lost.


---

[Chorus]
I don’t whisper, I roar.
I don’t leave, I pour.
I don’t heal, I consume,
Like shadows crashing in a midnight room.
I’m not your shelter, I’m the fight,
Relentless, fierce, no end in sight.
No soft horizon to keep you warm—
I am the STORM.


---

[Bridge]
Hear the thunder.
Feel the flood.
Say my name… I’m in your blood.
I don’t bend. I break.
I don’t love— I take.


---

[Outro]
You kissed the rain.
You knew the cost.
You’ll carry me…
In every loss.
I am the STORM.
