Not in This Life

I've lost myself in this dark sea
Of men trying to construct me
Why is it that I work twice as hard
To get half as much and never as far

Now that I know
I don't need you
I'm gonna go
Do what I do
You don't own me
You won't decide
Who I will be
Not in this life

I will not hold back just to follow your rules
I will not play the part of one of your fools
I will not lie for the sake of your pride
I'm sick of you telling me I need to hide

You can't beat me
I am faster
You will never win
I am stronger

I'm forced to live in your control
Had nothing to give, and so you stole
You are afraid of what you don't have
You take it away so you don't look bad

Now I can stand
On my own two feet
You'll have to accept
Your unmanly defeat
You will not steal
My spot in the light
How does it feel
To lose in this life

I will not hold back just to follow your rules
I will not play the part of one of your fools
I will not lie for the sake of your pride
I'm sick of you telling me I need to hide

You can't beat me
I am faster
You will never win
I am stronger

I'm good for a mother or a daughter or a wife
When do I just get to be the woman of my life

Looking around, all I can see
Men ruining women just like me
Losing power is your biggest fear
And that's what makes you the weaker ones here

You should bow down
Lower your voice
We're why you're around
So give us a choice
You will not take
Away my right
To stand in my
Power this time

I will not hold back just to follow your rules
I will not play the part of one of your fools
I will not lie for the sake of your pride
I'm sick of you telling me I need to hide

You can't beat me
You've already tried
You will never win
Not in this life

Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Not in this life
