RBG (speak the truth)
by matt devlin/penni honey copyright 2020
just like any other girl...injustice...the fabric of her world
a feeling she can’t shake/there’s ceiling she must break
and college is for boys
so off your brother goes
demotion for you as the child
within you grows
despite your perfect grades
rejection is all they gave
but your truth...they can’t take away
speaking power to the truth/until the truth becomes the power
it takes courage it takes strength/there’s no room for cowards
speak up speak out/speak up speak out loud
speaking power to the truth/until the truth becomes our power
what’s done to one of us...injustice...is done to all of us
when will we ever see/it's up to you and me
the oppressed, made less
put down pushed around
unseen without a dream
living on the street
waiting … hoping
for the light to come their way
waiting...waiting on a better day
speaking power to the truth/until the truth becomes the power
it takes courage it takes strength/there’s no room for cowards
speak up speak out/speak up speak out loud
speaking power to the truth/until the truth becomes our power
everybodies got a story/a truth they hold inside
a compass pointing north/a truth they can’t deny...so
speak up speak out/speak up speak out loud
speaking power to the truth/until the truth becomes the power
it takes courage it takes strength /there’s no room here for cowards
speak up speak out /speak up speak out loud
speak power to the truth/until the truth becomes our power
speaking power to the truth ‘til the truth becomes our power
just like any other girl…or like any one of us.
