[Verse 1]
Sidewalk stares
Counting every step I take
Their eyes draw lines
On my hair
My clothes
My name
They talk so loud
Like I can’t hear what they say
But I’m still here
Still getting ready for today
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeats matching traffic lights
Red then green then shine so bright
You can point
But I decide
Who I am inside
[Chorus]
Our bodies
Our bright future
Our choices
Our loud truth
Yeah (oh)
You don’t get to rule this life of mine
Our rights are human rights
We’re burning through your lies
I won’t ask permission just to shine
This is my face
My voice
My fight
My body
My choice
My right
[Verse 2]
I change my style
Like seasons turning in the sun
New name
New smile
Finally feel like I’m the one
You call it strange
But I just call it breathing air
I’m not your fear
I’m just a person standing here
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why you’re so afraid
Of colors you didn’t make
Every border that you draw
I step through it all
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You see “problem”
I see pride
You throw labels
I rewrite
You see “battle”
I see life
I see friends all by my side (hey!)
Linked hands
Same shout
We’re not backing down
[Chorus]
