STFD

TeZATalks' song 'STFD' is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and defiance. The lyrics convey a strong message of breaking free from fear and societal expectations. The opening lines, 'I'm chasing freedom for the fearless / I gotta do it cause I can't chase fear myself,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the artist's determination to overcome personal struggles and inspire others to do the same. The phrase 'I'm bout as broken as I confess / But better than most that lay cower' suggests a recognition of personal flaws while asserting a sense of superiority over those who conform to societal norms without question.

The chorus, 'You don't know me / Coming to take your crown / Bow down,' is a bold declaration of self-worth and independence. TeZATalks rejects the need for external validation, stating, 'I don't need you to come in and show me how / Settle down / Cause you know that I can do better, better.' This defiance is further emphasized with the repeated command to 'Sit the fuck down,' a phrase that serves as a metaphor for silencing doubters and critics. The artist's 'ghetto heart with good intentions' reflects a complex identity that embraces both toughness and kindness.

The song also touches on themes of mental health and the struggle to maintain one's sense of self in a challenging world. Lines like 'Running circles causes regret / It's the only thing I see / Straight mental health' and 'Limitations got you waiting round in circles / Got my mind on melancholy' reveal the internal battles the artist faces. Despite these struggles, the repeated mantra 'To stay alive don't stray your light' serves as a reminder to remain true to oneself and not be swayed by external pressures. 'STFD' is a raw and unapologetic expression of resilience and self-empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves and stand firm against adversity.
