[Verse 1]
I don't need your permission
I don't want that disease
Lurking through every finger
That you pointed at me
Don't you like it so sexy?
Wearing it like it's free?
Dropping half-priced opinions
But calling me "coupon queen"
[Pre-Chorus]
You've got bitches, you've got hoes
We the people, and we know
All we want is to be accepted
But you don't
You've got ideas, all the same
I'm your scapegoat, feed me blame
In the back of your mind
You know you're wasting time
And you're crossing lines with your
Crossing lines with your
[Chorus]
Power
Come and spend it on me
Power
What it means to be free
[Verse 2]
You're a man on a mission
But you seem to forget
You came here through a woman
Show some fucking respect
[Pre-Chorus]
We're your bitches, we're your hoes
We the people, and we know
All we want is to be accepted
But you don't
You got ideas, all the same
I'm your scapegoat, feed me blame
In the back of your mind
You know you're wasting time
And you're crossing lines with your
Crossing lines with your
[Chorus]
Power
Come and spend it on me
Power
What it means to be free
[Bridge]
Close your eyes 'til you can see me
Yellow polka dot burkini
That they stole off her body that day
If you really want to free me
Tell my mummy that she's pretty
Melanin is not your enemy
[Chorus]
Here's the truth, one condition
Can't kill my ambition
Not about if you like how I sing
You can't take my power
You've got nothin' on me
My power (Power)
My power (Power)
Power (Power)
My power (Power)
(Power)
(Don't you come for me now)
(Power)
You can't take my power
You got nothin' on me

It’s about the abuse of power. And I think Boris Johnson is guilty of abusing power, as is Trump, as is Nigel Farage, as are all the arseholes, Priti Patel. People think it’s a feminism song, but it’s just about the abuse of power in general. Musically, I was inspired by Nina Simone and that kind of...
