Out of Towners

[Verse 1]
Out of towners see the city once its built
Walk for miles in order to feel these streets are real
And every mother's daughter deserves a life she'd kill
For it's coursing through her veins
She wants what's hers against her will

[Chorus]
'Cause first thing Monday morning, we all feel it
And a woman on her own ain't twice as weak
She said, "I don't give a damn, she's gotta steal it"
Oh, she said, "I pray my girl is twice as man as me"
Oh, she said, "I pray my girl is twice as man as me"

[Verse 2]
Well, I came to a city mid-October
Still decades left of progress underway
She said, "Don't you let the absence of a father
Have my daughter go and make her mom's mistakes"

[Chorus]
'Cause first thing Monday morning we all feel it
And a woman on her own ain't twice as weak
She said, "I don't give a damn, she's gotta steal it"
Oh, she said, "I pray my girl is twice as man as me"
Oh, she said, "I pray my girl is twice as man as me"

[Bridge]
She said, "I don't mind, I can only try
'Cause things will always pan out like they do
You came just in time to watch it all unwind
'Cause I can't stop my daughter's life from being just like mine"

[Chorus]
But I know first thing Monday morning, she's gonna feel it
And a woman on her own ain't twice as weak
She said, "I don't give a damn, she's gotta steal it"
Oh, I hope she prays her girl is twice as man as me
Oh, I hope she prays her girl is twice as man as me
