Say Her Name (Aretha)(Young Voice)

She walked in the room and the silence broke. Not cause she shouted cause her soul spoke. She was born with a voice that could pop the sky Didn't need no crown to testify From Detroit used to the global stage She sang her truth, she owned that page Didn't whisper, didn't beg It's hard to generation how to demand a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T take a stand. Hands raised, hearts on fire. That woman sang like a gospel choir. Didn't just sing love, she made it known. Queen of the song, preacher of soul Every note she hid Made the broken whole Say her name, Marita Built her throne on church and flame A voice so strong It shook the shame She ain't need no gimmick, ain't need no gloss Every line she sang came with a cost From heartbreak blues to feminist fire She lit that mic like a holy choir But all this unnotice, when a cover so bold Told every woman She was elegant. She was fine. And when she played, she played it right. She ain't just a legend. She is the blueprint. Soul ain't soul unless you hear her in it. She sang our truth. She held our past. She broke the chain. Say her name, Orita. She sang for justice. She sang for grace. Put every president back in their place. Say her name, Orita. From the pulpit to the vinyl press. She gave the world nothing but her best No auto tune, just holy bread Long live the soul she gave, the voice, the strength, the truth. That's royalty, baby. Say her name.
