Sean Stack - SPEAK lyrics

[Jason Chu & Chance Calloway] Check Ooh I don't tell the Asian-American story I tell OUR American storIES In the hopes that one day the people will see glory Do you feel me? And if you don't, that's cool But if any one of these words breaks through And resonates with you (resonates with you) All the struggles you been through Pain you thought only you knew (you knew) This whole life been worth it Mama birthed me with a purpose, from Chinese restaurants, and nail salons, and into churches (churches) Been felt worthless We been felt hurt inside So if you're numb I know that it exists for a defensive service I ain't mad at you (I ain't mad at you) But, beyond the bitterness that's been in us We're buildin' up these stories And the world will bear the benefits We been a mess, but nothing's been amiss You gotta break some eggs Ev'ry time you make an omelette, ahh I break it apart and put it back together Like chemo on cancer I have no answers (I have no answers, yeah) Just questions that'll open up topics of discussion You'll have to shoot me to shut me up I ain't budgin' (I ain't budgin') And maybe you won't march or stand But you can listen and speak Speak on it, brother Listen to me speak (Speak on it, brother) And I'll listen to you preach Speak
