I'm out that H-town
|
Coming, coming down
|
I'm coming down, dripping candy on the ground
|
H, H-town, town, I'm coming down
|
Coming down, dripping candy on the ground
|
|
I know when you were little girls
|
You dreamt of being in my world
|
Don't forget it, don't forget it
|
Respect that, bow down bitches
|
I took some time to live my life
|
But don't think I'm just his little wife
|
Don't get it twisted, get it twisted
|
This my shit, bow down bitches
|
|
Bow down bitches, bow-bow down bitches
|
Bow down bitches, bow-bow down bitches
|
H-Town vicious, H, H-Town vicious
|
I'm so crown, crown, bow down bitches
|
|
I'm out that H-town
|
Coming, coming down
|
I'm coming down, dripping candy on the ground
|
H, H-town, town, I'm coming down
|
Coming down, dripping candy on the ground

|
We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller
|
We say to girls, "You can have ambition, but not too much
|
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful
|
Otherwise, you will threaten the man"
|
Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage
|
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important
|
Now, marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support
|
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same?
|
We raise girls to see each other as competitors
|
Not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing
|
But for the attention of men
|
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are
|
Feminist: a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes

You wake up, flawless, post up, flawless
|
Ridin' round in it, flawless, flossin' on that, flawless
|
This diamond, flawless, my diamond, flawless
|
This rock, flawless, my Roc, flawless
|
I woke up like this, I woke up like this
|
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
|
I woke up like this, I woke up like this
|
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
|
Say, "I look so good tonight"
|
God damn, God damn
|
Say, "I look so good tonight"
|
God damn, God damn, God damn!
|
|
Momma taught me good home training
|
My daddy taught me how to love my haters
|
My sister taught me I should speak my mind
|
My man made me feel so God damn fine
|
I'm flawless
|
|
You wake up, flawless, post up, flawless
|
Ridin' round in it, flawless, flossin' on that, flawless
|
This diamond, flawless, my diamond, flawless
|
This rock, flawless, my Roc, flawless
|
I woke up like this, I woke up like this
|
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
|
I woke up like this, I woke up like this
|
We flawless, ladies tell 'em
|
Say, "I look so good tonight"
|
God damn, God damn
|
Say, "I look so good tonight"
|
God damn, God damn, God damn!
