Sophia Larrabee - Brave Woman

It's strange, 'cause I thought it was MY choice
Wrong again, it's always up to the boys
It's my body but I don't have the right
To decide what to do with it, it's up to the white old men
You got no idea what it's like, always second place
Think we've earned the right, to at least get equal pay

Don't wanna get all political
But I can't sit back and get run over
Time to take a stand, for those without a voice
Gonna do what I can, while drowning out your noise

So stop telling me how to be
My size, my mind, my outer beauty
You ain't got the right to control everything
This one's for ALL the ladies
Even if you were born differently
You've got all the strength that you need
We can disregard biology
So I'm reaching out to ALL my sisters
Hoping they see what I know
'Cause living in a world like this
You gotta be a brave woman

No, I'd never do it personally, but that don't mean
I get to dictate for every body, it's not my place
You don't know the half, of what's going on
Know I could just leave, pretend nothing's wrong
But something's gotta be done
About president... someone

Don't wanna get all political
But I can't sit back and get run over
Time to speak for my people, I'm not very loud
But I'm still gonna let it out

So stop telling me how to be
My size, my mind, my outer beauty
You ain't got the right to control everything
This one's for ALL the ladies
Even if you were born differently
You've got all the strength that you need
We can disregard biology
So I'm reaching out to ALL my sisters
Hoping they see what I know
'Cause living in a world like this
You gotta be a brave woman

Sorry if you disagree, but don't you ever dare tell me
What I can and can't do with MY body
'Cause I'm holding you accountable
For the lives you insist you care for
At least until they're in the world and then you don't care
'Bout their health, 'bout their homes
'Bout their safety or identity
Let's face it in reality, you're hypocrites
Start helping out the immigrants
Why you gotta be so selfish
Hiding behind lies
Standing up for what you say is "right"
Well I'mma tell you now, boy bye

So stop telling me how to be
My size, my mind, my outer beauty
You ain't got the right to control everything
This one's for ALL the ladies
Even if you were born differently
You've got all the strength that you need
We can disregard biology
So I'm reaching out to ALL my sisters
Hoping they see what I know
'Cause living in a world like this
You gotta be a brave woman

So I'm reaching out to ALL my sisters
Hoping they see what I know
'Cause living in a world like this, living in a world like this, living in a world like this
You gotta be a brave woman
