[Verse 1]
They stare at my nails
My walk
My waist
Counting all the ways
They think I'm out of place
Side-eye on the sidewalk
Whispers cut like glass
But I paint my future
Louder than their past
[Pre-Chorus]
You can keep your fear
We gon' keep this glow
Every color here
Too bright to control
Got my name on my tongue
Got my love in my hands
If it isn’t your life
Why you taking a stand?
[Chorus]
Our bodies
Our beat
Our choices on repeat
You don’t get a say
In who I love
Who I be
Our hearts
Our lives
These are human rights
We were born to be free
So let us live how we like
[Verse 2]
Pride on the crosswalk
Flags in the rain
Mama said she’s learning
How to hold my name
They call it a phase
We call it a fight
Carrying each other
Till the day feels right
[Pre-Chorus]
You can keep your fear
We gon' keep this glow
Every color here
Too bright to control
Got my name on my tongue
Got my love in my hands
If it isn’t your life
Why you taking a stand?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Hands up if you’ve ever been
Too loud
Too soft
Too “in between”
[call-and-response]
“I am worthy” — say it back
“I am worthy” — feel it last
Marching
Dancing
Same old road
Turn that shame into a throne
We decide what fits our skin
We’re the ones who live within
[Chorus]
