[Intro] Streetlights flicker on the 243 Lipgloss, headphones, eyes on me Card tap, cold wind, London rain Heart full, big voice, no shame [Verse 1] You talk like you discovered my reflection Like I should say thanks for your attention (Do not flatter yourself, babe, honestly) You rate my body like a football score Bark your comments from across the floor Then call me mad when I talk back free I paid my rent with a minimum wage Still wrote my name on a headline page You said, "Calm down, that tone not cute" Yeah, you get loud in a boardroom suit But when I raise mine, everybody takes note Suddenly my passion is a personal quote [Pre Chorus] You say, "Love, you are a bit too much" I say, "You are not enough to hush" I am not made for your small pint glass Watch me spill out, flood your class [Chorus] Do not tone me down, turn me up now Let the whole damn city hear this sound I am the siren on the high road, proud Marching in boots with my girl gang crowd You want quiet, you picked the wrong town Do not tone me down, do not tone me down [Verse 2] You call me crazy when I call you out Too emotional, too full of doubt (You are just scared of a straight up truth) You like my fire when it warms your bed Not when it burns what you always said About girls staying soft and smooth I got sisters on the late night bus Keys in hand and a mouth that cuss Not because we like the fight Because we like getting home at night We are not your jokes, not your cheap one-liners We are headliners, love, not background diners [Pre Chorus] You say, "Girls like you should know their place" I say, "Watch me carve it in your space" Spray paint courage on a brick grey wall Every loud girl is a wake up call [Chorus] Do not tone me down, turn me up now Let the whole damn city hear this sound I am the siren on the high road, proud Marching in boots with my girl gang crowd You want quiet, you picked the wrong town Do not tone me down, do not tone me down [Bridge] (Yeah) I talk fast, words overlap Heart on sleeve, beat on trap Accent thick like the London air If that offends you, I do not care I am not here to make you feel alright I am here to take back Friday night [Chorus] Do not tone me down, turn me up now Let the whole damn city hear this sound I am the siren on the high road, proud Marching in boots with my girl gang crowd You want quiet, you picked the wrong town Do not tone me down, do not tone me down [Outro] So when you say I am too loud, too wild I will smile like a proud bad child Big lungs, big love, big crown Do not tone me down, do not tone me down
