I am not your rumor
I am not your stain
Write new laws if you want
But first, change your brain
Walk home, keys between fingers
Phone on, live share, still anxious
"Text when you reach" like a mantra
Every lane got a legend, every cab's a gamble
Headline horror on a breakfast plate
Tea turns cold while they speculate
"Where was she, what did she wear?"
Same tired script, same blank stare
Y'all pray loud at the temple gate
Then drag victims through shame and hate
Holy words on a dirty tongue
Blame her body, excuse your son
Leaders speak in measured lies
"Respect our women" for the cameras' eyes
But in the court, when the cameras mute
Power buys silence, evidence "disputes"
Not your shame
Not your blame
Say her name
Change this game
They tell girls "adjust, stay small"
"Don't laugh too loud, don't stay past fall"
Raise a cage, then call it care
Love that smothers, fear dressed as prayer
Hostel curfew, "protect the girls"
Boys roam free in the same world
"If he snaps, it's just his youth"
She's condemned for speaking truth
Uncle's touch at a wedding hall
Family hush, "he's elder, after all"
Bruises airbrushed under gold
Trauma traded for "be bold, be bold"
We want fast-track, not fast news
Justice that sticks, not trending views
Teach your sons they ain't entitled
Desire ain't duty, a no is final
Not your shame
Not your blame
Say her name
Change this game
Do not ask me why I was outside
Ask him why he thought he owned my body
Do not ask me what I wore
Ask why "no" is still a foreign language
I want streets lit up by people's eyes
Where a girl can laugh and not revise
Every step like a strategy plan
