It ain`t a man`s world
You go, girl! No more sugar and spice
It ain`t a man`s world, no more sugar and spice
1-It`s a she thing and it`s all in me
I can be anything that I wanna be
Don`t consider me a minority
Open up your eyes and maybe you`ll see
It`s a she thing and it`s all in me
I can be anything that I want to be
Don`t consider me a minority
Ladies help me out if you agree
2-It ain`t nuthin` but a she thing
(say it proud)
(say it loud)
(on the rise)
(better recognize)
Now I can bring home the bacon and fry it in the pan
Never let you forget that you`re a man
Cuz I`m a W-O-M-A-N
That`s what I am doin` all I can
The thing that makes me mad, and crazy, upset
I gotta break my neck just to get my respect
Go to work and get paid less than a man
When I`m doin` the same damn thing that he can
When I`m aggressive then I`m a bitch
When I got attitude you call me a witch
Treat me like a sex object that ain`t smooth
Underestimate the mind Oh yeah, you a fool
Weaker sex? Yeah, right! That`s a joke
Have you ever been in labor? I don`t think so, nope
I`m a genuine feminine female thing
Can ya hang? Ain`t nuthin but a she thing
(rpt 1, 2)
On the reel I`m a female doing what I feel
Put me to the test yes I will get ill
Sensitive and sweet deal and all that good stuff
When it`s time to get rough baby I`m rough enough
Ain`t afraid to show how I feel down deep
Compassionate but don`t underestimate me
I`m intelligent, wise, complicated being
With the instinct to dream and believe in the dream
Family`s first before anybody else
Take care of them before I take care of self
I`m a genuine feminine female, thank you
Ya hang, ain`t nuthin` but a she thing
(rpt 2)
You got to understand it`s a she thing
We got the power yeah and you know the deal
So you go girl, it ain`t no man`s world
You can do anything do what you feel
Excuse me, hold up, pep got the floor
Give your props to the strong
Women layin` down the law
Taking control of the rules in their life
Standing up pretending all the wrongs to the right
I like to give a shout out to the mammas out there
Bringing up the babies with the tender loving care
You`re in charge of the future of the nation
Do the right thing, lay the foundation
To all the single mothers Salt-N-Pepa said
Keep your head up
I know it gets hard sometimes but never let up
You`re a genuine feminine female thing
Can ya hang? Ain`t nothing but a she thing
(rpt 1, 2)
Now let me break it down to the marrow of the bone
I`m a female and I got it goin` on
Don`t be fooled by my s-e-x
It ain`t that simple, I`m more complex
We`ve come a long way and baby that`s a fact
Let`s keep moving forward, girls never look back
Fight for your rights stand up and be heard
You`re just as good as any man believe that, word!
