Speak Up
People we need to speak up and take a stand
Get in the game and take our heads out of the sand
If you see something that doesn't seem right
Speak up and help someone fight the good fight
So much tragedy inflicted each day
Allowed to thrive due to what we do not say
One in four women one in six men
Sexually assaulted sending their lives into a tailspin
Tailspin tailspin tailspin tailspin
Stand up stand up speak up
Stand up although it's really tough
Stand up don't let it make you dumbstruck
Enough's enough
One phone call one plea for help
Is all that's needed to help someone save themself
Speaking up is the road least traveled
Shame blame and worry about not being believed
Are the emotions that continue to deceive
Staying quiet is not what will give you peace
Sharing your story is a form of release
The more you speak the better you'll feel
Sharing your story will help you begin to heal
The more you speak minimizes strife
Sharing your story could save a life
Stand up stand up speak up
Stand up although its really tough
Stand up don't let it leave you dumbstruck
Enough's enough
Dont let nobody hurt you
Monsters wanna take away your virtue
Darkness will win if you allow it to pervert you
Light will heal your heart begin to reconvert you
Stab you in the heart you'll bleed like me too
Listen to survivors when they tell the truth
Gotta overcome this systemic flaw
Now can you say Kavanaugh
Never ever ever wanna be so crass
But my blood pressure is rising fast
I ain't rough ain't tough I ain't none of that jazz
But touch my babies and I'll kill your ass
Speak up speak up speak up speak up
People we need to speak up and take a stand
Get in the game and take our heads out of the sand
If you see something that doesn't seem right
Speak up
Get in the game and take our heads out of the sand
If you see something that doesn't seem right
Speak up and help someone fight the good fight
So much tragedy inflicted each day
Allowed to thrive due to what we do not say
One in four women one in six men
Sexually assaulted sending their lives into a tailspin
Tailspin tailspin tailspin tailspin
Stand up stand up speak up
Stand up although it's really tough
Stand up don't let it make you dumbstruck
Enough's enough
One phone call one plea for help
Is all that's needed to help someone save themself
Speaking up is the road least traveled
Shame blame and worry about not being believed
Are the emotions that continue to deceive
Staying quiet is not what will give you peace
Sharing your story is a form of release
The more you speak the better you'll feel
Sharing your story will help you begin to heal
The more you speak minimizes strife
Sharing your story could save a life
Stand up stand up speak up
Stand up although its really tough
Stand up don't let it leave you dumbstruck
Enough's enough

Speak up speak up speak up speak up
People we need to speak up and take a stand
Get in the game and take our heads out of the sand
If you see something that doesn't seem right
Speak up
