Equality

TITLE: "EQUAL" [Intro - 0:00-0:12] - low, calm but annoyed Yeah... uh... Gangsta girl... look... This ain't right... let's talk... [Verse 1 - 0:12-0:45] - Rap flow, easy rhymes I walk these streets, I see the same scene, Same closed doors for a girl like me, They say we equal, but it don't feel true, Different rules for me than for you. I work hard, same hours, same grind, But my pay short, tell me why mind? On the ground here, it ain't fair play, They watch me rise, then they block my way. I ain't ask for much, just a fair shot, Not a hand out, just what I got. Same blood, same heart, same pain, Why I gotta fight just to get the same? [Chorus - 0:45-1:15] - DEFENSIVE, not catchy-pop, straight Don't tell me I'm wrong for sayin' what I see, Don't tell me I'm loud for wantin' to be free, I live this ground, you don't know my lane, You talk equal, but you don't feel my pain. Am I wrong for askin' for rights? Am I wrong for standin' up to fight? Don't judge me if you ain't lived this, I'm just sayin' what equal is. [Verse 2 - 1:15-1:48] - Harder, cool rhymes See my little sis, she ask why why, Why her dreams low but the boys fly high? Tell her keep head up, keep your crown straight, World cold now, but we gon' change fate. I seen strong girls get told sit down, I seen soft boys get handed the crown, Same school, same book, same test, But her voice quiet while they get the best. I don't hate no one, I just want fair, Same air we breathe, should be same share. Rights ain't gift, rights is due, What you want for you, I want too. [Bridge - 1:48-2:00] - Sing it low, annoyed but real This ground talk, not Insta talk, This real life, this real walk, If you never felt it, don't speak, Listen close to the strong and weak... [Final Chorus - 2:00-2:30] - More defensive, let it ring Don't tell me I'm wrong for sayin' what I see, Don't tell me I'm loud for wantin' to be free, I live this ground, you don't know my lane, You talk equal, but you don't feel my pain. Am I wrong for askin' for rights? Am I wrong for standin' up to fight? Don't judge me if you ain't lived this, I'm just sayin' what equal is... Yeah, what equal is.
