My lines reflect not just my being, by Joy Payne rap 1-20-2026

The track opens with a moody hip hop beat and filtered synths, anchoring deep, resonant female vocals, Verses feature agile rapped lines in the lower register, blending seamlessly into choruses where powerful yodel inflections swell over layered harmonies, driven by sub bass and crisp percussion ____________________________ lyrics My lines reflect not just my being, but you ©2025 poem by Joy Payne Yes, I'm a single woman, with no intention of having children. Some get upset at the diverse views I bring in. They tell me, "Focus only on your journey," ignoring the breadth of stories I see. My writing seeks to glorify God in all His glory. I don't limit my testimony to just my story. Yes, my words aren't confined to me; they resonate with you, naturally. Some resent my broader lens, thinking they control my pen. Exclaiming, "Impressive wisdom, yet it's not solely yours to brew." I narrate tales of mothers, fathers, though I'm single, childless, too. They claim without lived experience, I should refrain, incredulous! Whoa! Catch God's wisdom flowing variedly, transcending my frame. Gifted words demand restraint, all about me is not their aim. God isn't exclusive to me; it's an eternal message, plain for all to see. I write to convey divine love, a universal testimony. They fume at my expansive sight, rejecting narrow vanity's flight. My words aren't for boxed glory but manifest His wisdom inherently. Fretful they can't mold each phrase; divinely bestowed not my vase. They witness God's genius in every poetic line, frustrated that I explore beyond my singular sign. When God delivers truths, they aren't solely mine to own. It's for every receptive heart, every attentive tone. We personify God's testimony, my essence is womanly. Not a man, nor a prostitute, Imperfect, yes, but this isn't my absolute. God calls us to illuminate His grace, So don't fret when I reflect your face, Through my verses, meant not just for me but all embrace. Grateful God guides me to the path, enlightened and tight. Amen Joy Laurette Sophronia Payne
