said one's piece
Made one's statement
To say one's piece is to express one's opinion or position on a matter, especially when the speaker has been waiting for the opportunity or feels compelled to speak: She said her piece at the meeting and then sat down.
The expression suggests a complete statement rather than casual comment—you've contributed what you came to say.
