Bitch Make the Coffee

If I could just keep my mouth shut
I might keep my job
It's so hard to watch stupidity
In action and bite my tongue

Do feelings run through a blood line
Did my grandmother feel the rage
Was she overwhelmed by the tall order
Of playing the patriarchy game

Did she have to make a weak man feel bigger
To feed a dog named ego
Back then, were k9's just as hungry
Chew up your spirit and swallow your soul
Bitch make the coffee

Was she expected to be quiet
And keep the peace
And don't forget to smile pretty
It keeps the work place friendly

Was she a clever gardener
Who planted seeds with a little smile and halo
Then he'd steal them, and then he'd take credit
While she sat back and watched'em grow

Did she have to make a weak man feel bigger
To feed a dog named ego
Back then, were k9's just as hungry
Chew up your spirit and swallow your soul
Bitch make the coffee

Girl, make the coffee
Dry clean those clothes
Carry the babies
Listen and take notes
Don't take up space
But get it all done
And while he's not asking
Unbutton by one
Oh did my grandmother have to put on a show
Make'em all think, that she didn't know
We're separate not equal

Bitch make the coffee

Did she have to make a weak man feel bigger
To feed a dog named ego
Back then, were k9's just as hungry
Chew up your spirit and swallow your soul
Bitch make the coffee

Oh make that coffee
