There's a calling in my name but the volume isn't loud enough Turn it Up You want facts, I speak that, turn the volumes up Turn it up Impact, we need that, it isn't loud enough Turn it up This a voice that give back, turn the volumes up Turn it Up So, let me get this off Something is on my spirit to tell you all Expecting y'all might take this wrong But, I've been right Yeah, I said it I been right Not all the time but most of the time Leaving a margin for error A teacher in my light requires that I be a student, most of my life A fool only denies There's more to learn A trait from the wise Know the time to hold silent and know the time to speak your mind There's a difference between when some of you speak than from I Some of you speak to prove you're right I speak to save lives Some of you speak to manipulate I actually speak to shape minds You speak popular opinion When I know pop opinion & God's will for me rarely aligns We are not the same But know there's purpose in a voice like mine It's morality I choose to be on the right side of, all of the time The truth shall set you free, indeed You know, I talked to my grandmother a few weeks ago I, I told my grandmother that I would stop answering calls So that I may prevent the offenses that the people I love choose to speak on me They want me to turn down me when I speak Place emphasis on what they need when I speak She laughed and said, you don't have to stop answering at all She said I'm telling you what God love, once you start speaking how God does The truth gon screen them calls They say they love my voice How much they can relate They love what I stand for How it tends to liberate Yet we all love the truth right, so they say As long as it has nothing to do with you It's been that way so let's get into it We can talk about how we can post couple goals all day But won't talk about how social media has our preferences a double-tap away You know, you now have access to those Who would pass you by on a regular day But now walking out on our commitments are easier Than putting in the work it takes Okay I could talk about this constant debate between black men and women about roles But, I thought the point was to build up our babies to sustain two parent homes? Because a union will always beat doing it alone I mean, if the goal is generational wealth How the f*ck are we debating about Who picks up the tab in establishments we don't even own? I mean, what the f*ck are we talking about? What do opinions matter in things like that A set up, to keep us stuck, and set us back There's no room for that No excuse for that Instead of operating in abundance we sulk in lack I mean, we excuse our dealings cause we been born in these trenches Damn self-pity done caused for a lot of bitching and it ain't all from women Just like self-pity done caused for a lot of killings White men scout free but But lot of black men in prison And if I'm gon' talk about anything If I'm gon' talk about anything Yeah there is a message that I wanna relay I wanna say, black men, some of y'all deserve an honorable mention Some of you do try Black men, I want to make this clear I don't know why you've allowed yourself to believe the lie I mean, black women love you for more than what you can provide We rather hold a space for you to cry Than hold graves for you to die Nobody, nobody requires you to make a way And hold the weight on your own If you ask us what we choose, it's for you to make it home Look, I don't know about them others y'all tend to choose But with black women, you have nothing to prove And if it's one thing a black woman gon do, it's ride for you I'm telling you, I don't really always have that much to say There's, There is There are some things I just don't speak on That I don't care to entertain I get it When I, When I speak it's to save the little boys and girls in the hood When some of you speak it's just to be seen because that makes you feel good We are not the same I believe that my mouth accounts for the world that I create I'm not gon speak out on my losses too much When I'm trying to speak life into everything I still have to gain It's baffling to see we want different results But call accountability by the wrong name There's a calling in my name but the volume isn't loud enough Turn it Up You want facts, I speak that, turn the volumes up Turn it up Impact, we need that, it isn't loud enough Turn it up This a voice that give back, turn the volumes up Turn it Up
