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
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
