The Other Half
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never got to play the hero
Never got to be the prince
I wanna be the strong one
Wanna be the tall one
But they kept me small
Told me to quit
All the kids out on the sidewalk
They’ve decided who should win
I'm never on the right side
Always on the wrong side
All I wanted was to just fit in
Wish I could speak out
And know that I'm believed
Can I be proud
With no apology
Wanna scream out
But they try to silence
Can you make a little room?
Can you share a little space?
For the other half of the human race
We’re not asking for the world
Not trying to take your place
But we’re not going back to your good old days
Oh
No we’re not going back to your good old days
All the suits around the table
Say that I can’t sit with them
Been climbing up their ladder
They act like I don’t matter
So why the hell do I want to fit in?
I'm gonna speak out
Make sure that I'm believed
Gonna be proud
Give no apology
While I scream out
I won’t let them silence me
Can you make a little room?
Can you share a little space?
For the other half of the human race
We’re not asking for the world
Not trying to take your place
But we’re not going back to your good old days
Sit still say yes
Can’t move in this dress
Do what they say
(I'm still here)
I’ve had enough
Of your boys club
I call time’s up
Can you make a little room?
Can you share a little space?
For the other half of the human race
We’re not asking for the world
Not trying to take your place
But we’re not going back to your good old days
