This is the face i wear for you
This is long overdue
Living my truth won’t change for you
Watching the things i do
Tell me again how i’m looking now
Messages flooding through
Doing the things that i wasn’t allowed
Doing the things i choose

As a woman am i the prey?
Men of god will have their say
Name the price that you’re willing to pay
Just to be yourself today

As a woman i kneel and pray
Live on camera every day
Name the price that you’re willing to pay
Just to be yourself today

U don’t phase me with your words
I’m not gonna crumble
Forget what u heard
Coz u can’t make me stumble
I’m high up like a bird
Higher than u heard
Maybe this bird will sing
When she’s free
Free to fly again

She was always like a flower
Unaware of her own power (yeah she was)
A life counted down in hours
There’s a blackout in the tower (yeah there was)
See her coming out the shower
Wonder who is gonna get devoured
Unaware of her own power
Oh…

No one left to blame
For this so-called shame
Now say it, say my name
Coz it’s all that remains

It’s hard to say, i don’t know what’s worse
Honour’s a deadly curse
What is a woman’s worth?
Oh…

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
