Listen to the stories
You canโt see the pain in our eyes
Do you only call yourself an ally just to keep your mind satisfied?
Uh, Anae
Been crying out for allegiance for the longest while
My brothers told me I should keep them all on speed dial
You know my mama raised me in a way, to make sure I can get it any day
That ainโt a threat to you though, so donโt move insecure
Iโve got you, youโve got me, thatโs law, what more
When youโre confronted with your demons what you gonna tell โem
Do we even share the same sentiments
I tell my sisters we should rally up, bally up, hooded up
On the front line like weโve had enough, your time is up
Stay claiming misandry , claiming Iโm miss angry
On your not all men steeze, uh
You see the weight of the worldโs already getting to me
And now youโre adding to the load
Youโre supposed to alleviate me
Youโre supposed to appreciate me
Create, initiate some schemes with me
Remediate this pain with me, come on
Brittle bones still walk the walk
Painting white flags red
We said we wonโt be silent, wonโt be scared.
Nooo
Nooo o
past me, past you
past them, past time
man, this world remains past forever you know?
and if if we're gonna make a change then itโs together, you know
because tomorrowโs for the daughters, they need better, you know
If time is upon us, why the hell we still alive?
If weโre still living, how come we can never get it right?
We still living in the little corners of our lives
And there's still women always getting pestered in their strides
Itโs the manโs world
Itโs the old manโs world
New men are often taught, all the old manโs wrongs
Iโm sure youโre old enough to be a new man bro
Donโt you grow into your dad, be a new man bro
Oh what a time to be living (is that right?)
Stories on the news get me livid
everybodyโs acting quite indifferent
I pray your little girl never meets this ugly world.
Brittle bones still walk the walk
Painting white flags red
We said we wonโt be silent, wonโt be scared.
Nooo
Nooo o
The women you praise for their silence gather us round and stack the sum of their voices on our tongues
The mother you hail for her sacrifice tells us there is nothing holy about burning alive for her entitled sons
Youโre too busy fiddling with the idea of dominance to witness your sister fighting back the language of shadows
Your father cast her aside saying girls and boys canโt play that close
and you started calling him king for it
Youโre growing into a man who thinks everywhere he steps is his
You claim ownership from the home, to church, to office
Act like our existence wasnโt meant to occupy much space
And somehow donโt get why weโre as loud as this
Weโve been stacking up, remember? to match up to ten thousand boom boxes
We know you shrug us off but reckoning is coming, just you wait
You wouldโve gotten away with it too if not for these fucking feminists
Weโve been running in circles, dancing with the devil
And clearly none of that was enough
If I am not your mother, your sister or your lover...
Is being who I am not enough to save?
If thereโs anything left to say...
Are you gonna listen today?
