what is love?
I can tell you what its not...
it does not shove
it is not bought
one "no" shouldn't get me shot

I don't do drugs,
don't hang out with thugs,
don't drink too much,
and if its not mine, I don't touch
so why is it my people so often die?

only one crime
are we guilty of in this lifetime
and that's being a woman
aka doing what you couldn't
or more accurately, wouldn't

any that don't meet your standards
you call a *****
a *****
wait all of these things mean WOMAN
so lets not meander
to you its an insult
you do not see how every woman
does enough that they could consult for superman

but let me get to the point.
It takes all of my self restraint not to scream
WE ARE NOT SECOND STRING!
this should be one big team

We make the world spin,
it not our fault you're stupid enough to take the credit.
while you try to suppress us, you grin
cause you think you'll win

But in the end
its you who gave us the victory
the horrors you subject us to, that we ourselves mend
though it may seem contradictory,
you make us realize our own strength
and at length, that just means

We don't need you

**And we're changing things
