Fear rising because I'm about to share my inner most thoughts
Sweating because I've never done this before
It's about to be my own personal score and the symphony of my vocals hit the stage
Reading off the page
I think my first poem I performed was "God"
Yeah that was it
You know at the time I didn't really have a name for myself
A in the closet artist tryna barter for some release
As I stand backstage amazed at the support I'm getting I think man this is amazing
Finally sharing my words
But the host asked me what's your stage name
I look at him like ***** I'm Jasmyn...the name my mama gave me
But then I think oh snap I don't have a stage name
A name for people to remember me by
So my thoughts fly with nothing
As my heart races as the host of the show says my name
He screams here comes Ladi J and I was like oh snap there it is
Ladi J was born
And just like my real name is spelled different
J-A-S-M-Y-N I had to make my stage name the same so remember Ladi J was born as...
L-A-D-I-J
