So this producer hit me up on the dm He told me hey I really like what you are doing He told me come round to the studio let’s cook it, He told me come to catch a vibe and make some music. But when I got there should’ve heard what he was saying Tryna touch me, tryna fuck me I’m not playing. I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it, how God damn dare you do that to me really. Uh Coming like the ice cream man Til I felt his ice cold hands And how I pay the price now damn God damn, no what the, God damn Everything you did it left me in a ruin And no I didn’t say a word I guess that proves it I’m a woman, ah yeah Cus I’m a woman I’m a very fucking brave strong woman And I’ll be damned if I let a man ruin How I walk, how I talk, how I do it Man I’ve been broken for a moment, I’ve been through it no It’s even harder to be brave alone I was a girl now I’m grown Im a woman. A very fucking strong woman Ah yeah And I was 7 Was 21, was 17 and was 11 It took a while to understand what my consent means If I was ruthless they’d be in the Penitentiary But all the stress of being honest wouldn’t help me I pushed it down but it was living in me rent free And then I fell into somethings that were unhealthy A place where no one heard me asking them to help me Cus he came in like the ice cream man Til I felt his ice cold hands (And how I pay the price now damn) I should’ve been protected damn God damn, no what the, God damn Everything you did it left me in a ruin And no I didn’t say a word I guess that proves it I’m a woman, ah yeah I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt and explain why I’m silently blaming myself, cus I put on these faces pretending I’m fine, then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind in my head, always going round and round in my head, your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin, you made me frame myself for your sins you pathetic sad excuse of a man Ooooh Ooooh I’m a very strong woman And I remind myself When I really get low And the feelings take a hold I’m a very fucking brave strong woman Cus I’m a woman (Yes I am a very brave) I’m a very very brave strong woman And I’ll be damned if I let a man ruin How I walk, how I talk, how I do it Man I’ve been broken for a moment, I’ve been through it no It’s even harder to be brave alone I was a girl now I’m grown Im a woman. A very f strong woman Ah yeah
