A CONTENTIOUS WOMAN
They called us contentious for not taking shit from any man
They paint us with scarlet for not doing what they demand
We're not built delicate
We're not bound to submit
We'll never be silent
Our lips are lined with kerosene
Scream inflammatory
Won't be shamed into passivity
We won't be kept in place
Don't expect a woman's grace
We won't submit
We won't give in
Go provoke a fight
Stir shit up, Antagonize
We arm ourselves with knives and lace
"Get the fuck out of my face"
Have each others back for good
Belligerent bitch sisterhood
No we won't be kept in place
Don't expect a woman's grace
We won't submit
We won't give in
Don't tell me I need to maintain my composure
"Under pressure" is under is under your thumb
I'm done being your fucking victim
We won't submit
We won't give in
We won't back down and take this shit
