Lyrics
Verse 1
It’s my Bday, Bday —call my BISHes, it’s time
Packed in this little room, we bring our shine
Worked all week—now the lights are low
Cheap wine, paper cups, let the good vibes flow
Mama called, said “baby, take a breath”
I stand on shoulders, roots that run deep
Ancestors smile when my BISHes get loud
In my circle, I rise, I sing, I’m proud
Pre-Chorus
I baked my own cake, got candles to light
Funny how Bday joy fits in spaces so tight
Counting these blessings, we toast and we tease
Making future plans, tonight we believe
Chorus
Toast up, BISHes in the city
No frills—just love, and we keep it gritty
Not just a Bday, it’s thanks for my people
We celebrate us—keep the flame, keep it equal
Living room dances, stories we tell
Family, old souls, wish my crew well
It’s my party—the real BISH way
Grateful hearts, we create our own holiday
Verse 2
Laughs echo out these worn-out walls
Dreams spilling free, between late-night calls
Room so humble, but our BISH joy’s wild
Building future plans in every smile
I text my mama, send her love through the screen
Lighting up candles for the grandma unseen
Friends holding my hand, we pray, we relate
Saying “here’s to the strength all my BISHes create”
Bridge
Lift the glass for the ones not here
They paved every step, brought us right here
We talk about jobs, our hopes and our fears
But tonight, BISHes, leave worries in last year
Chorus/Outro
Toast up, daughters and queens
Real BISH love, real dreams, everything between
It’s my Bday, Bday, but more than my own
We honor the journey—together grown
Happy birthday to the circle, to the line
From past to present, let our spirits shine
Tonight in my tiny home,
Real BISH energy—this throne is our own
