Say Her Name

Written by Hodari Davis

The Black woman

Is a God

Creating all human beings

Is a job

So

Say her name

Cmon

Say her name

You gotta say her name

Come on

Say her name

The Black woman

Is a queen

She is the source of

The African dream

Say her name

Come on

Say her name

You gotta say her name

Cmon say her name

Say her name say her name

slam her on the ground

try to break her down

You can't even say her name

Say her name say her name

hit her in the head

Then she ends up dead

You can't even say her name

Say her name say her name

tell the world a lie

she committed suicide

You can't even say her name

Say her name say her name

If you remember Oscar Grant

remember Sandra Brand

And be sure to

Say her name

Cmon

Say her name

You gotta say her name

Come on

Say her name

Everybody

Say her name

Cmon

Say her name

You gotta say her name

Come on

Say her name

Not promised tomorra’

There's been too much trauma

We callen em "ya hona"

They justify

Our murda

Like who even heard’a

Racist policin

Systems releasin

Violence as teachin

Our mothers are bleedin

Our daughters are beaten

The media feedin

Our people are pleadin

and nothing is ceasing so

We gotta change the game

We gotta change the game

Huh huh

We gotta change the game

We gotta change the game

The Black woman

Is a God

Bearing the burdens of the world

Is a job

So

Say her name

Cmon

Say her name

You gotta say her name

Come on

Say her name

The Black woman

Don't deserve to die

Cause she dare to look

A white man in the eye

Say her name

Come on

Say her name

You gotta say her name

Cmon say her name

Say her name

Cmon

Say her name

Come on

Say her name

Come on

Say her name

You gotta say her name

Cmon
