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
