Be A Lady

For years and years, I've held my peace
'Cause every guy seemed to know what's best for me
Got stuck in their mold, now I wanna break free
I'm done trying to fit into that old patriarchy

Get ready
'Cause you're not gonna like what you see
I'm a grown-ass woman
Not the lady in your dreams

Now I'm in the front seat
Come Iook at me take the lead
Start treating me the same as you treat him
I have that energy you like but don't wanna see
Start expecting the same from me as you would from him

"That's not how I raised you" I can hear it in my head
But we're not having that, convo again
It would've been easier to do what you said
But I'm a born fighter, who's done smiling for today

So get ready
'Cause you're not gonna like what you see
I'm a grown-ass woman
Not the lady in your dreams

Now I'm in the front seat
Come Iook at me take the lead
Start treating me the same as you treat him
I have that energy you like but don't wanna see
Start expecting the same from me as you would from him

Be a lady they said
Try it for a day
Come back and regret
I don't want your pity
I just wanna be fed
With the same privileges
You have on your head
Gonna speak my mind
So shut up and listen
I'm done saying sorry
'Cause I'm on my mission

Now I'm in the front seat
Come Iook at me take the lead
Start treating me the same as you treat him
I have that energy you like but don't wanna see
Start expecting the same from me as you would

Now I'm in the front seat
Come Iook at me take the lead
Start treating me the same as you treat him
I have that energy you like but don't wanna see
Start expecting the same from me as you would from him
