https://princess8815.github.io/PrincessTGMusic/audioPlayer/pages/unruled.html Freedom by peace Or freedom by war We will not play By your rules anymore You tried to decide who we're allowed to be Built all your walls and called them liberty You wrote down the rules and expected our praise While taking our rights and controlling our days You wanted us quiet You wanted us small You thought if you pushed us we'd finally fall But every trans girl that you tried to erase Is standing beside us and taking her place We demand our freedom We demand our lives No more asking permission Just to simply survive Our names are our own And our futures are too We won't surrender our freedom To people like you You have beaten us down Destroyed who we are But we won't turn back We will heal from this scar You cost us too much Harmed the people we love Took us for granted Now we rise above We aren't your question We aren't your debate We aren't an excuse for your anger and hate Our bodies aren't ballots Our lives aren't your laws We won't spend forever defending our cause We built our own voices We learned how to fight Not for your approval But simply our right To walk through this world Without begging to be Anything less than completely free This is independence Our voices are loud Trans girls standing together And we're standing proud No ruler above us Deciding our fate You can give us our freedom Or watch us take back our place No more control No more shame You don't get To choose our names No more rules That keep us down We're still here Look at us now We stand here united The revolution is here So give us our freedom Or cower in fear You pushed us together You gave us a cause Now watch what happens When we stop Following Your Laws Freedom for every trans girl alive Freedom to flourish Not merely survive Freedom to speak Freedom to choose Freedom means nothing When ours can be removed We won't be governed By hatred anymore Freedom by peace Or freedom by war You had your rules We have our lives You had your power Now we rise No permission No surrender Our freedom Forever
