There's a war in these streets
Right in front of me
I can't leave
Cuz even when I check my phone
I'm not alone
I could try and debate with you
But my truth has become fake news
I can't speak, I can't speak
To deaf ears
To blind eyes
I think it's time you realize
This is my Battle Cry
Oh I
It's do or die
Oh I
You don't own me
You see tears
And you disconnect
You see me
Like I'm made for sex
What's my role?
You say God
You claim truth
And I ask where's the proof?
You use fear
But I'm not afraid
I've caught on to those wicked ways
What is strength?
Organize, Agitate, Educate
Heard her say
This is my Battle Cry
Oh I
It's do or die
Oh I
You don't own me

This is my Battle Cry
Oh I
It's do or die
Oh I
This is my Battle Cry
Oh I
It's do or die
Oh I
This is my Battle Cry
Oh I
It's do or die
Oh I
You don't own me
