[Verse 1]
I should not have to fight
To validify my right
But does this fight only apply
When my livelihood been compromised
How do you find balance between
Saving yourself and having humility
Is there a chance we can agree
To find some unity despite polarity
[Chorus]
Let me be honest
I'm a woman don't pretend
That I cannot respect vision and strength
I can't be quite
I'm a woman who won't let
What I've worked for be in vain
[Verse 2]
Would I be more successful
If I didn't have this monthly cycle
Oops did I just lose your respect
The bar is set where no one can reach it
Rules and reqs whirl in my head
Can't make mistakes or I won't be forgiven
Viewed and valued as a vessel
Always making me feel a little less than real
[Chorus]
Let me be honest
I'm a woman don't pretend
That I cannot respect vision and strength
I can't be quite
I'm a woman who won't let
What I've worked for be in vain
[Bridge]
I love too much to not tell you the full truth
I'm not just observing or was I absorbing
The love and the beauty and hurt and the cruelty
Take it back to the beginning and live
[?] I've been set free
[?] makes it so sweet
So let your walls and build up [?]
[Chorus]
Let me be honest
I'm a woman don't pretend
That I cannot respect vision and strength
I can't be quite
I'm a woman who won't let
What I've worked for be in vain
Let me be honest
I'm a woman don't pretend
That I cannot respect vision and strength
I can't be quite
I'm a woman who won't let
What I've worked for be in vain
