Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They want me quiet, head down Say “boy, don’t make no sound” Same talk, different small town Same hate, just a new crown Grandma keep a Bible on the table News play names, say it “wasn’t fatal” Saw those photos, saw that knee Now you really think that’s never me? [Chorus] I won’t go quiet in the night (nah) Won’t be a hashtag, won’t be a sight On a T-shirt, candlelight I refuse to die that way, I’m gon’ fight Hands up high but my voice raised higher Heart like steel, soul on fire You can chase my body, but you won’t take my right I was born to breathe, I was born to fight (yeah) [Verse 2] Blue lights flash in my rearview Mama said “call me if they near you” Phone in my hand like a lifeline Prayin’ I can make it past the stop sign Kids on the bus learn the same drill “Do what they say, try to stay still” Why my skin gotta be a crime? Why we still bleedin’ from a past time? [Chorus] I won’t go quiet in the night Won’t be a hashtag, won’t be a sight On a T-shirt, candlelight I refuse to die that way, I’m gon’ fight Hands up high but my voice raised higher Heart like steel, soul on fire You can chase my body, but you won’t take my right I was born to breathe, I was born to fight [Bridge] From the dirt roads to the concrete Same fear when the law speak But I got roots deep, I got spine Got a long line standin’ right behind Say my name while I’m still alive (say it) Let me march, let me testify (yeah) If I fall, I won’t fall in shame I’ll fall standin’ tall, callin’ out your game (hey!) [Chorus] I won’t go quiet in the night Won’t be a hashtag, won’t be a sight On a T-shirt, candlelight I refuse to die that way, I’m gon’ fight Hands up high but my voice raised higher Heart like steel, soul on fire You can chase my body, but you won’t take my right I was born to breathe, I was born to fight (born to fight)
