Can't change my name revised audio added

Verse 1]
Taken to that place
Pain humming in my bones
I needed them to listen
To believe what I'd shown
But they doubted my words
Forced me through the ache
Made me move in ways
My body couldn't take
My mama cried out
Don't you bend a leg
But they ignored her like I wasn't worth respect
I screamed from the pain
They all turned their eyes
Then asked did you see
Everyone told a lie

[Chorus]
You can't erase truth with silence and shame
Can't hide the scars by changing my name
I was bruised, I was broken
But I'm still here
Singing my story so the world can hear

[Verse 2]
They tormented me daily said I wouldn't go home
Told me to behave or I'd face it alone
I said I'm not a threat
I mean no harm

But fear was the weapon I'd cared not calm
EMS grabbed me like I wasn't in pain
Twisted my arms like a pretzel in pain
Like my suffering was just part of their game
No warning, no reason, just told my name
They looked at my skin said you're fine just stressed
Told me it was nothing just mental unrest
But now I need steel to support my spine
They missed the storm and I'm paying with time

[Chorus]
You can't erase truth with silence and shame
Can't hide the scars by changing my name
I was bruised, I was broken
But I'm still here
Singing my story so the world can hear
You can't erase truth with silence and shame
But I'm still standing still saying my name
They wrote me off but I write back strong
This is my justice this is my song

(You can't erase truth)

[Outro]
(You can't erase)
(You can't erase truth)

[Chorus]
You can't erase truth with silence and shame
Can't hide the scars by changing my name
I was bruised, I was broken
But I'm still here
Singing my story so the world can hear
You can't erase truth with silence and shame
But I'm still standing still saying my name
They wrote me off but I write back strong
This is my justice this is my song

You can't erase truth
