[Verse 1]
Don't mess with me
Don't hurt my babies
I'll come for you
You'll find you've bitten off
More than you can chew
[Verse 2]
You are the man
But I'm not your baby
I get so scared
I know you own the world
And I fight like a girl
[Chorus]
But I am my mother
I am my mother now
I am my sister
And I fight like a girl
[Verse 3]
All I can do
Is all I'm doing
All I can stand
You trample me like dirt
But I'm used to things that hurt
[Verse 4]
Oh little man
You're such a baby
Put up your fists
Nobody ever loved
Someone they were afraid of
[Chorus]
And I am my mother
I am my mother now
I am my sister
And I fight like a girl
[Bridge]
Oh, what year is it?
Still arguing the same shit
What year is it?
Same, same old shit
[Verse 5]
But I get so scared
Tell me you'll stand beside me
Is that enough?
No, nothing is enough
Nobody is that tough
[Chorus]
And I miss my mother
I miss my mother now
Thank God for my sister
And for all of the girls
And I am my mother
I am my mother now
I am my sister
And I live like a girl
And I love like a girl
And I think like a girl
And I fight like a girl
Like a girl
[Outro]
Like a girl
Sister (Thank God for my sister)
(Thank God for my sister)
Sister (Thank God for my sister)
Sister (I am my sister)
Sister (And I fight like a girl)
(Thank God for my sister)
(And I fight like a girl)
(Thank God for my sister)
(Thank God for my sister)
