Correction Lyrics Why I Speak Up for Black Women by Megan Thee Stallion

Lyrics

What does it mean to be a woman of color?
She's gotta be strong, because that's just the expectation
Loving herself, but not too much
Because then, she's conceited
Being his lady in the streets, but his freak in the sheets
Inheriting her grandma's love, but always loving the wrong one
Twerking for her man, but not with her friends?
Being constantly told she's "too much," or, "not enough"

The most disrespected person is the Black Woman

Constantly having to prove she's a victim because society sides with a man
Not being able to express her traumas because she can't show no weakness
Is constantly told that she's too dark, too thin, too thick
Too much of a b*t*h
Being murdered, beaten, abused
Then questioned if she evoked all of it
Is left out on the street to become the flower that grows from the concrete

Who taught you to hate yourself, from the top of your head, to the soles of your feet?

She marches for everyone else
Riots for everyone else
Dies for everyone else
She loves everyone else
Lives for everyone else
But when it comes down to her, it ain't a mothaf**ka in sight
