Lyrics

VERSE 1
You don’t carry this life inside
You don’t wake with fear you hide
You don’t walk with keys between fists
Or get asked if your “no” exists

But you sign laws from leather chairs
While we bleed under gavel stares
You quote control like it’s a hymn—
But freedom starts *from deep within*

CHORUS
My body, my decision—not yours!
I won’t bow to closed old doors
You don’t know my pain, my path, my name
So don’t you dare legislate my flame

You don’t own this skin, this soul
You don’t decide what makes me whole
I’m not your symbol, not your pawn
I’m fierce. I’m free. I carry on

VERSE 2
You fear a woman unafraid
A voice that doesn’t ask but *stays*
You try to break what won’t obey
But we build empires from decay

You don’t get to choose my fate
Or write my worth in second place
We’ve marched too far, we’ve died too young
To stay beneath your loaded tongue

BRIDGE (spoken, echoing female voices)
You say protect.
But you control.
You say tradition—
We say soul.

You say “her body.”
We say: OUR RIGHT.
And we will not go down
Without this fight.

FINAL CHORUS (gospel choir harmonies)
My body, my decision—hear me now!
We rise with every furrowed brow
You can’t erase what breathes and stands
We are the fire. We are the hands.

No more waiting to be heard
Our power doesn't need your word
So write your rules, redraw your maps—
We’re coming loud, and we won’t collapse
