Lyrics

[Intro: Whispered / Spoken softly]
Mmm…
This one hurts to sing
But the truth must come forward…
To every girl with a scar no one can see
You ain't alone…


---

[Verse 1]
Mi did trust yuh more dan any man
Mi call yuh mi father, mi hold yuh hand
But behind closed door, yuh tek mi light
Mi cry ina silence, night after night

Mi body still young, mi voice was small
Yuh shoulda protect mi, yuh break mi all
Mi beg yuh stop, but yuh neva hear
Yuh look inna mi eye, mi soul full of fear


---

[Chorus]
Daddy no, daddy no — how could yuh do mi so?
Mi blood run cold, mi tears still flow
Daddy no, daddy no — dat pain still grow
But mi find mi voice, and mi want di world to know


---

[Verse 2]
Dem seh family is love, but yuh twist dat name
Mi carry di shame, but it wasn't mi shame
Mi hide behind smile fi many year
But now mi rise up, yuh cyaan live in mi fear

Mi talk fi di gyal weh cyaan speak yet
Mi sing fi di soul yuh try fi forget
Mi nah stay silent, mi done wid dat
Justice fi mi youth, mi reclaim it back


---

[Chorus]
Daddy no, daddy no — how could yuh do mi so?
Mi blood run cold, mi tears still flow
Daddy no, daddy no — yuh stoop so low
But mi rise like fire, mi heart still glow


---

[Bridge: Dubbed Out / Echo FX]
Silence cyaan hide yuh sin
Mi story now begin
Mi body nuh belong to yuh
Mi soul still shining through…


---

[Verse 3: Empowered tone]
Now mi walk strong pon sacred ground
Mi nah bow low, mi wear mi crown
Mi pain become strength, mi wounds now art
Mi healing a fire, it blaze from mi heart


---

[Chorus – Final, layered vocals]
Daddy no, daddy no — yuh cyaan control mi fate
Mi still standing, though it come so late
Daddy no, daddy no — yuh bruk mi trust
But mi still ah rise, from di dirt to dust


---

[Outro – Fading chant, female harmony backing]
(Daddy no... no...)
(Yuh cyaan break mi, no...)
(Truth ago shine... light inna di dark...)
Mi free...
