Face it, I can never be defeated
You ain’t gotta look I know you see it
Know you feel
All this mass appeal
Conscience made of steel
Aura way too real
Looks just seal the deal
Playing by the rules is so outdated
See something you want you gotta take it
Now I feel
Now the tide has stilled
Prophecy fulfilled
I need you to kneel
Don’t make these looks kill
Played nice and where’d it get me
Nothing but left behind
Be soft, be lost, be pretty
But most of all be kind
A lady’s never gritty, a lady’s never wise
I think I’m done behaving
I’m taking back what’s mine
(I’m taking back what’s mine)
I’m taking back what’s mine
(I’m taking back what’s mine)
I’m taking back what’s mine
To be infinite in a finite world
Our power, our resiliency, our grace
Has been mistaken as an invitation to strike again, and again and again
We are exhausted
We are fed up
We are tired of putting our lives on the line for our basic human rights
We are tired of navigating your insatiable appetite for anything that is not yours
Moving forward all that we have left
Is ours
Played nice and where’d it get me
Nothing but left behind
Be soft, be lost, be pretty
But most of all be kind
A lady’s never gritty, a lady’s never wise
I think I’m done behaving
I’m taking back what’s mine
(I’m taking back what’s mine)
I’m taking back what’s mine
(I’m taking back what’s mine)
I’m taking back what’s mine
