Griot B - Say Her Name (feat. Haillie)

Say my name, I do it flawless
The boys can hang, but I do all this

Wake up from sleep
Get dressed brush teeth
Before I leave, I check to see
My mirror on the wall, she speaks
Girl there's nothing left to eat

You ate. (echo)
Left no crumbs on plate (echo)
Work hard, look great (echo)
Say my name (echo)

They said girls rule and boys drool
And girls know what boys do
That's so true but in school
We never learn what girls do

Let's change that now, imma make you proud
Imma say your name, and imma say it loud
Mary Mccloud bethune she knew the
Educated mind cant be kept down
Down in daytona, where the dump was found
She started a school only girls allowed
With less than two dollars in her pocket
She started this school thats a college now Wow
Dr. Mabel ping-hua lee she rode
On the back of a horse
Down the streets of new York
With a poster in hand she chanted with her voice
For suffrage for women
Thats the right to a vote
Maria Guadalupe Evangelina de Lopez
Fought hard for women on the west coast
She translated pamphlets, did speeches in spanish
The 19th amendment passed because of these hard working

Women girls beauty and brains
Hard work and grace poise through pain
You got it, solve it, do your thang
Fight for change, say their names

The Women's Bureau in DC
Fought for women's rights and equality
Mary Pigeon got equal pay for minorities
Mary Van Kleek
Research showed there There was a need
For equal pay and minimum wage
Elizabeth Koontz, fought for the change
To human rights in education the we see today
Mary anderson what she worked for
Was equal pay during the world war
See the men were fighting on europe's shores
So women needed to join America's workforce
Building cars, engines on plane,
Rosie the riveter Say her name
Before leaving to help america'suceed
Their mirror said
There's nothing left to eat

Those beat go hard like aye
Your report card like a a a a a

You did you did - you her
No wilson
Pavlichenko You Kill Em
Norma sklarek -You're building
Like Nightingale - You heal them
Billie jean King - You winning

You did you get it

They can't pose like you, leave em froze like you
You don't need that filter, you just know it's cute
They stuck on stop, they don't go like you
I'm your biggest fan can I pose with you

Like pose , switch, pose switch, face, give , face switch
Wait
Look at this
In every pic you ate, make sure they say your name
