Lyrics Hear My Voice - Sensay Wu

Growin up, never saw myself on TV
Ain't have no idols, got no one to be
Didn't think much, focused on fighting my battles
Now got my mask unravelled, I can finally see

Since corona had a spike on crime against us
But nothing was novel, it has always been rough
Compartmentalized, been feeling so stuck
The 7% don't feel like it's enough

Yeah I know my identity but what does that make me
And my baby, and my babies own baby
How does that shape them to who they gon be
They say the apple never falls far from the tree

I want answers, to study my own history
Learn what the past did to me and my family
Need community, and my voice to be heard
I need an outlet, way to express all these words

Kyler talked to me, about a magazine
Said something bout getting all our stories out
It made sense to me, like it was meant to be
I found my voice, can you hear me now?

Now we're on a mission for them, to hear our voices
Representin is the first step for real action
We need sympathy to move forward society
These bars coming from the heart, straight from sobriety

What we do ain't one of a kind, this a new wave
Strength in numbers if we band together we can make change
We do that through artwork, articles, and essays

Put my heart in it cause I got skin in the game
Almost half of yall cant name an Asian with fame
All that we do nothing will go down in vain
After we're done they'll say nothin was the same

Already made an impact, readers cross the country
We, as the team, work together genuinely
Put up numbers newspapers could envy
With my brothers and my sisters we really family

Kyler passed the ball, and I caught it
Feelin like we just getting started
Really puttin out trending topics
I found my voice, can you hear me now?
