HERstory Video (MV)

Believe her when she says she's not safe today
Born and raised in a place
Where harm is an initiation stage
Caught in old ways
Didn't mean to make a sound
But his demons were far too loud
She paid for it time and time again
Vessel for your scars that were meant to heal
Hurt by your hands, I don't wanna kneel
We're rising up
This isn't history, this is her story
It's killing us
We're rising up
Miaka zimepita bado tunaandika barua ya dunia
(years have passed yet we're still writing the same letter to the world)
Enough is enough
This isn't history
This is her story
This isn't history
This is her story
Laughter fills the room
Jesting 'bout the pain they cause
No apologies, no remorse
Proud they made her pay the cost
Is this the reward we get?
Fought for independence
We're still living, living behind the fence
Dada zetu wanashindwa kusimama
(our sisters are struggling to stand)
Watoto wetu hawawezi sahau
(our children will never forget)
We're rising up
This isn't history, this is her story
It's killing us
We're rising up
Miaka zimepita bado tunaandika barua ya dunia
(year have passed yet we're still writing the same letter to the world)
Enough is enough
This isn't history
This is her story
This isn't history
This is her story
