Hey you! Don’t cut the line, don’t cut the cue, I waited my turn, just like you, In a world of shades, I’m black and blue, My voice is strong, it’s breaking through. I won’t be denied, I won’t be shamed, You call it a game, but it’s not the same. Equality’s a fight, I’m standing my ground, Independence is loud, I won’t back down. Remember that day, in the schoolyard heat, They laughed at my dreams, but I kept my beat. I held my head high, through whispers and stares, In a sea of faces, I found my prayers. I won’t be denied, I won’t be shamed, You call it a game, but it’s not the same. Equality’s a fight, I’m standing my ground, Independence is loud, I won’t back down. Overwhelmed by the weight, Of chains I refuse to wear, Cursed by the past, But I’m breaking free, I swear. Bitterness fades, With the fire inside, I’m rewriting my story, With love as my guide. I won’t be denied, I won’t be shamed, You call it a game, but it’s not the same. Equality’s a fight, I’m rising above, With independence in hand, I’m ready to love. So hey you, Don’t cut the line, don’t cut the cue, I’m here to claim my space, and shine through. With every heartbeat, I’m taking my stand, Together we rise, hand in hand.
