jjt-firework - raise my voice lyrics

[interlude: salomé martinez]
i haven’t had many negative experiences, often times when i speak on social issues, i’m communicating to people who are willing to have a conversation, and if we disagree there’s a willingness to let it be. i’m personally motivated by the fact that even though i’m an american citizen, my rights as a woman and as a person of color can be impacted the most. not to mention the constant abuse of these labels that come in many forms, but see little to no legal consequences
an ally in itself is hard to spot because there are many people who will say they are, for whatever group that is being marginalized, but will not speak unless spoken to, and will not act unless pressured. if i find someone that i can have a respectable conversation with, can take in information and opinions, and can be a witness to their actions that reflect these conversations, i know i found a true ally

[verse 1: jjt+firework]
it’s ironic that we have to fight for peace
heartful upheaval, fire with fire
but i’ve got faith in the side
whose fire is love, we don’t need guns
let’s murder a little less

i’m no longer quiet
not in a lagoon of hatred
i see you’re alarmed

[chorus: jjt+firework]
so excuse me if i raised my voice
but is it any wonder that i raised my voice?
well it looks like i raised my voice
i wouldn’t be so shocked that i raised my voice
raise my voice, raise my voice

[verse 2: jjt+firework]
awkward girl in the hallway
cat ears and full of fears
always eyed at and scared to bat
she’s gum under your shoe
she’s the most unique, insect examiner
schedules to the aztec calendar
cause she got new ideas, they all think they’re the judge of her
somehow they’re all surprised

[chorus: jjt+firework]
that she raised her voice
was it any wonder when he raised his voice?
no, this ain’t right
i’m about to raise my voice
they wouldn’t know what hit them when you raise your voice
raise your voice for love

(raise your voice for love, raise your voice for love
raise your, raise your, raise your
your voice for love, for love, raise your voice)

[bridge: salomé martinez & jjt+firework]
an ally in itself is hard to spot because there are many people who will say they are, for whatever group that is being marginalized, but will not speak unless spoken to, and will not act unless pressured
and until everyone has joined us
i will always raise my voice
i’m not sorry that i raised my voice
so excuse me while i raise my voice
can you hear me raise my voice?

[outro]
i’ll listen to her as she raises her voice
go on girl, raise your voice
do it for love, raise your voice!
raise your voice in the name of love
[distorted repetition of lyrics]
