Did William Wallace really say the speech before stirling bridge in real life?

No. It is entirely the creation of Hollywood scriptwriters.
Infact, Wallace was not even the commander of forces at Stirling Bridge. That honour fell to Andrew Moray, who was the senior Guardian of Scotland, and of far higher social standing than Wallace (who was a very minor noble).
Moray was mortally wounded while leading the scots forces at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, and died a little while afterwards, leaving Wallace to take much of the credit. However, Wallace led the Scots forces for only seven months after the Battle of Stirling, before defeat at Falkirk, after which Wallace resigned the title of Guardian of Scotland.
