This music video celebrates diversity, illustrating how differences make for a more colorful and vibrant world.

You don't need a man who abuses

you or treat you like dirt

Who takes you for worthless or is the cause of your hurt

You need some loving

And don't forget treat it with respect

I know gender equality works best

Yo ladies show your strength and independant power

As a team sure there's weak men you can tower

Fellas stop the physical force

Women never let a man push you off court

All elements, we're here to make a message clear

We're here to stop women living in fear

Don't shed a tear

Cause the change is coming

It's time to break the silence

By saying something you change nothing

if you don't use your voice

So speak out when something's wrong

It's your choice we work together

getting stronger by the minute

So support your community

and everybody in it

We should all respectfully connect in a way

which you know is correct when I say

Get up and follow me, join the march set for gender equality

Every day I'm seeing more violence

Everybody needs to stop living in silence

People know wrong but they never hear a thing

So look out now I'm about to demonstrate

Pick out the mind watch me levitate

The mistakes that I make while my rhythm never changes

The way I see equality

And I'll be free

While a quarter of people see violence at home

And a third of men thinks it's alright to condone

While a third of women will become a victim

So it's up to you men, make the right decision

Now love now show some affection

Cause in this world sympathy is lacking

You know fear this is respect

Either bad communication and be direct

We should all respectfully connect in a

way which you know is correct

When I say get up and follow me

Join the march set for gender equality
