LYRICS: When we speak up you don’t wanna hear When we show up you don’t wanna see Everything we know you don’t believe We can move through your world but not for free When we tell you there’s a fire you accuse us of starting the flames when we stand up for what’s right you accuse us of spreading hate You made a world where there’s space for so many things But a woman isn’t one of them These dreams weren’t made for us These streets aren’t safe for us There is nowhere to escape for us Half of the sky has been taken from us And with our backs breaking we still hold it up They put a price
