Be Loud (Explicit)

They told me to hush

That my words were “too much.”

Sit down, stay still, be small, don’t feel.

Hide the hurt behind your teeth,

And bleed where no one sees.

I learned to scream into pillows,

Bite my tongue 'til it bled

But silence never saved me

It just carved echoes in my head.

You call it peace, i call it prison

My voice ain't yours to cage or christen

Your comfort was my funeral shroud

But i'm done being quiet.

I’m gonna be loud.

Be loud!

For every time we had to fake a smile

Be loud!

For every broken thought on trial

Be loud!

For the silenced, the shamed, the denied

Be loud!

We’re still here, unbroken and alive!

No more whispers in the dark

No more shrinking from the spark

We’re the fire they tried to drown

We rose. We burn.

We loud now.

Used to choke on apologies i never owed

Censored truth, pain locked in code

But chains rust, and i’ve had enough

You want fake?

I’m too real, too raw, too rough.

They feared the sound of us healing

Called it noise when we were revealing

But pain has pitch, and grief has tone

And rage? Rage has a ****ing microphone.

Your silence was never peace

It was just a leash

But you forgot, wolves don’t stay down

We bare our teeth

And we be loud.

Be loud!

For every voice they tried to erase

Be loud!

For the scars we wear like grace

Be loud!

Let ‘em choke on every sound

We’re done being sorry

We’re taking back our ground!

Don’t you dare tell me to lower my voice.

This scream? This roar? This is survival.

This is the sound of a soul breaking chains.

This is what truth sounds like when it finally breathes.

So if i’m too loud

Good.

That means you finally heard me.

Be loud!

For the youth they tried to mute

Be loud!

For the dreams they made pollute

Be loud!

For every “no” we swallowed whole

Be loud!

This is our voice, this is our soul!

We’re not backing down

We’re not fading out

We lived in silence long enough

Now we scream the pain

And we be loud.
