Intro
Sun came up different, I felt it in my chest Whole world still loud, but my mind at rest Mirror don’t argue when I say we blessed I learned clapping for you don’t steal my success
Verse 1
I’m happy for the wins I didn’t touch with my hands Watched my brother break ceilings I once had planned No jealousy stains when the love really lands We toast to your moment, I’m part of the band Mama smiling bigger than the house she in Daddy walk lighter like he dropped old sins Friends turn ideas into keys and pins I cheer from the side, that’s how joy begins
Pre-chorus
I don’t need the spotlight on my name tonight If your road shining, then we all alright
Chorus
I’m happy for you, yeah, I mean that truth Your win feel loud like it’s mine too Hands in the air when your dreams come true Happy for me, happy for us, happy for you
Verse 2
I’m happy for me, for the pace I kept Late nights paid off, no favors was met Bills on autopay, stress finally left Peace in my sleep, yeah that part hit different Happy when my phone don’t ring with bad news Happy when I say no and I still choose Happy when I outgrow old views Smiling at progress I never post to you
Bridge 1
Joy ain’t loud, it don’t brag or shout Sometimes it’s quiet when you tune the doubt I learned my smile don’t run out The more I give, the more it bounce
Verse 3
Happy for my friends when they switch their lanes Happy when love don’t come with chains Happy when healing don’t need a name Happy just breathing through the rain Happy in kitchens with laughter loud Happy in rooms that ain’t about crowds Happy when I slow life down That’s wealth they never hand out
Pre-chorus
If we all eat, let the table stretch Ain’t no loss in respect
Chorus
I’m happy for you, yeah, I mean that truth Your win feel loud like it’s mine too Hands in the air when your dreams come through Happy for me, happy for us, happy for you
Bridge 2
Joy multiply when I don’t compete Different roads still meet at peace I learned real wealth ain’t discreet It show when your heart don’t shrink
Chorus
I’m happy for you, say it out the roof No shade in my blood, just proof If you rise, then I rise too Happy for me, happy for us, happy for you
Outro
Clap with no envy, that’s the move Joy look good on us, that’s the truth
Inside the recording
Sun came up different, I felt it in my chest Whole world still loud, but my mind at rest
I don’t need the spotlight on my name tonight If your road shining, then we all alright
Clap with no envy, that’s the move Joy look good on us, that’s the truth
