Speak Up

I had a friend called Nkechi
She was bright and really lit
She has been quite through a lot
From the age of seventeen
Right now she finds it really hard to concentrate
And she's down with PTSD and she's quite insane
She was raped by her own uncle
Cos the wife talk say omo she no wan do
She couldn't speak up about these things
Cos the world that we live in they'll judge you cruel

Oh I am standing up for you
Oh I am sending love to you
Don't shut it up, just let it out
Let it out
Just speak up girl, just let it out
Let it out
Uh-huh

Heaven cries while she hurts herself
And why should you take her rights away
And if she says no, you better let go
Don't you push it further
Or are you such a monster
She could be your sister
Bro, you better think twice
Every woman still deserves kindness
So don't be scared, you should speak up cos I

Oh I am standing up for you
Oh I am sending love to you
Don't shut it up, just let it out
Let it out
Just speak up girl, just let it out
Let it out
Uh-huh

In the face of your troubles
In the face of your fears
You know you got somebody
You can always run to and talk to
In the face of your troubles
In the face of your fears
You know you got somebody
You can always run to and talk to
Yeah
