Set Her Free Lyrics by Shay D

A Figure Of Speech

2016

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Head feels weak, belly's hurting again
Car dead quiet till they drop off her friend
Tension filling up her heart with dread
Won't dare move an inch, won't turn her head
Knuckles turn white as he grips on the steering
Signs of rage, they are quickly appearing
Eyes full of fear 'cause she knows what's nearing
Tries not to blink, it'll bate up the tearing
Pull up to the yard then he opens the door
Runs round to her side
"Get the fuck out, you whore"
Drags her out as she's heaving inside
But she knows better than to let out her cry
He slams shut the door, he punches her low
Holding her belly, she can't breathe from the blow
He knows where to hit her now so it won't show
Where she goes to work – not a single soul would know
[Hook]
I said
Know your rights (What?)
Love you first (Say it)
Speak your truth (Yeah)
Know your worth (Listen)
Trust your gut, let it be
Set her free, set her free, set her free
I said
Know your rights (What?)
Love you first (Listen)
Speak your truth (Yeah)
Know your worth (What?)
Trust your gut, let it be
Set her free, set her free, set her free
[Post-Hook]
Regain our respect and drop the knowledge on 'em
Every single one of you was birthed from a woman
I've said drop the knowledge on 'em
Every single one of you was birthed from a woman
Regain our respect and drop the knowledge on 'em
Every single one of you was birthed from a woman
Regain our respect and drop the knowledge on 'em
Drop the knowledge on 'em, I said drop the knowledge on 'em
[Verse 2]
How can a boy be remorseful
When there's toys under the tree like Grand Theft Auto
Violence to women as if normal
So disillusioned by the images in pornos
Who is the object and who gets to be forceful?
Who makes the money and whose at the top and more so
Who decides what's sexy and what is voluptuous?
Is beauty in the eye of the beholder or Presumptuous?
It's all prevalent, we are not just skin on a skeleton
Women are intelligent, inventors of medicine
The right to be president
Fight to be relevant
Mother nature is the root to all of your elements
Domestic violence on your own doorstep
One every minute but what's not reported
Regain our respect and drop the knowledge on 'em
Every single one of you was birthed from a woman
[Hook]
I said
Know your rights (What?)
Love you first (Say it)
Speak your truth (Yeah)
Know your worth (Listen)
Trust your gut, let it be
Set her free, set her free, set her free
I said
Know your rights (What?)
Love you first (Listen)
Speak your truth (Yeah)
Know your worth (What?)
Trust your gut, let it be
Set her free, set her free, set her free
[Verse 3]
He pushed up on the mirror and he told her to watch
"I didn't wife no hoe, but that's what I've got
That ring on your finger, it means that you're mine
Smiling at man in the club like I'm blind"
Her make up smudged from the tears that she sobbed
Her forces her to take it, innocence robbed
She didn't even wanna go out in the first place
He said he'd make up for ruining her birthday
When did it change, man, when did she let him?
Every night she cries, regretting that she met him
Too shook to leave, too shook to breathe
Battling dignity that no one would believe
Convincing herself that she does have a purpose
Hard when you're told daily that you're worthless
Could she leave? Could she run?
This story may belong to any daughter or mum
[Hook]
I said
Know your rights (What?)
Love you first (Say it)
Speak your truth (Yeah)
Know your worth (Listen)
Trust your gut, let it be
Set her free, set her free, set her free
I said
Know your rights (What?)
Love you first (Listen)
Speak your truth (Yeah)
Know your worth (What?)
Trust your gut, let it be
Set her free, set her free, set her free
