Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cover my ears and close my eyes
Just long enough to stop the noise
Go on take everything and throw it away
But I will use my voice
[Verse 2]
Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label me bitch because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice
[Verse 3]
Whether you like it or not you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No don't you speak for me
[Verse 4]
Never mind me I'm a waste of your time
I'm never gonna fit in the box that you need and I can read between the lines, yeah
Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face
But I will use my voice
[Verse 5]
Whether you like it or not you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No don't you speak for me
[Verse 6]
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
[Verse 7]
One day soon
It's gonna fall back on you
No more lies
We're gonna break right through
Like it or not
[Verse 8]
If we can't talk about it
We'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No don't you speak for me
Don't you speak for me
