My Body (Stand Up)

My body's nobody's body but mine, you run your own body let me run mine

Yeah we livin' in a
Dark time and we need a change
Every day a headline
Always the same
Another women
Cut down again
But we can be the ones who
Put an end to the pain
We gotta
Rise up
Walk hand in hand
Lift the girl up never fall again
Raise a strong woman, raise a kind man
Let the world know that we taking a stand (stand up)

We need to talk about what’s happening out there
It’s not ok that we can’t walk upon these streets without fear
You know this body is my body
Sing it loud so they hear
Yeah all the mothers sisters daughters let your voice fill the air

My body's nobody's body but mine, you run your own body let me run mine
Chorus
Stand up let the whole world see
That we not gonna sit and take it quietly, Woah
Stand up and let the whole world know:
If you raise a hand to one you raise a hand to us all, Woah
Stand up send a message clear
No we’re not gonna stop until we end these tears, Woah
Stand up and let the whole world know
If you raise a hand to one you raise it to us all, Woah

One less girl be one less teacher
Fix that problem, I’m a believer
Stand up tall you need to say some’
Let’s start here by teaching our sons
Protect and serve be willing to learn
Who she is well that’s our concern
Look at the girl she shining like this
Womandla mbokodo look at you sis (Zulu: Power to women!)

It’s time to stand up and put
Women first
We’ll walk fearless through the fire
’Til we’ve lifted this curse
But we can’t do this on our own now
We need more than just words
So every father son and brother
Let’s go
Loud till it's heard

What you do to one affects us all
Impilo ami ibaluleke nje ngeyakho (Zulu: My life is as important/valuable as yours)
Wathint'umfazi wathintimbokodo (You strike a woman you strike a rock)
Angeke sikhon'ukuyimela lento (We will not stand for this anymore)
My body's nobody's body but mine, you run your own body let me run mine
Chorus
Stand up let the whole world see
That we not gonna sit and take it quietly, Woah
Stand up and let the whole world know:
If you raise a hand to one you raise a hand to us all, Woah
Stand up send a message clear
No we’re not gonna stop until we end these tears, Woah
Stand up and let the whole world know
If you raise a hand to one you raise it to us all, Woah

Wow, I never knew this a proudly SA song - wow - amazing and brilliant.
I'm really impressed with the chick that doing the hip hop rap part- she's almost or identical to how cardi b sings - when I first heard this song, I really taught it was Cardi b singing that part.

Absolutely brilliant.

Deserves number 1 spot on the charts.

That is why it's so tough for me to break free from addictive and self destructive behaviors because of constant trauma creating open doors and it's a coping mechanism

A roof over one's head is pretty vital as a parent, mother and targeted individual you can't get chased up and down for the rest of your life
