[Intro]
Write my name in blood
Let it scar your lungs as it rolls off your tongue
Write my name in blood when all freedom is gone
Write my name in blood
Spell it out for all to see
(Now listen)

[Verse 1]
The second that the pen hurts more than the gu
Is the moment that I lost my mind
Losing faith in humanity, and faith in equality
It's time to shine light on these blackened times

[Chorus]
Speak my name
Suffocating in this world, I'm lost for words
And I can't breathe
I'm lost for words
Scream my name
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe, and I can’t speak
We are lost for words
I'm lost for words!

[Verse 2]
(Locked up and shot down, for speaking our minds)
(Paying the price to live) but living to die
Living to die!
You put your hand over my mouth
I put my pen to this paper
Now I'm a murderer for speaking my mind?
We've been censored at mouth shot down dead for speaking out
Who knew that free speech was a crime?

[Chorus]
Speak my name
Suffocating in this world, I'm lost for words
And I can't breathe
I'm lost for words
Scream my name
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe, and I can’t speak
We are lost for words
I’m lost for words!

[Outro]
You can replace my tongue with the barrel of a gun
But you won't shut me up
Shut me up, shut me up
Burn my name into the earth
As I dance on the lips of the world
You may think you can replace my tongue with the barrel of a gun
But you won't shut me up
Shut me up, shut me up
Burn my name into the earth
As I dance on the lips of the world
You may think you can replace my tongue with the barrel of a gun
But you won't shut me up
Shut me up, shut me up
Burn my name into the earth
As I dance on the lips of the world
