Told to quieten down or be sweet soft spoken
Too many times watched them step back down
Boys will be boys is taken as a token
But we are all queens with invisible crowns
We are all fighting the same battle
Chewed up and spit out with disgust on their face
Rounded up and herded like worthless cattle
We will yell, we will not be effaced
Can’t see through the dark what’s wrong and what’s right
But there a tiny holes in the cage they built
A sliver just a sliver of faraway light
The roles of the world starting to tilt
No we will not stand back
We will not be silenced
The force they made to hold starts to crack
Taking back the narrative bold and defiant
And as finally see we start to rise
Taking back what should be ours
Our bodies, our words all of their lies
Doing what we can to make all girls feel empowered
So take this message share it wide
Protect other girls to show that you care
Don’t feel alone there is no need to hide
And maybe just maybe we can take back the narrative
