So, this producer hit me up on the DMHe 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 sayingTryna touch me, tryna fuck me, I’m not playingI should’ve left that place as soon as I walked in itHow God damn dare you do that to me, really?

Coming like the ice cream man‘Til I felt his ice-cold handsAnd how I pay the price now, damnGod damn, no what the, God damnEverything you did, it left me in a ruinAnd no, I didn’t say a word, I guess that proves itI’m a woman, oh, yes

‘Cause I’m a womanI’m a very fucking brave strong womanAnd I’ll be damned if I let a man ruinHow I walk, how I talk, how I do itMan, I’ve been broken for a moment, I’ve been through it noIt’s even harder to be brave aloneWas a girl, now I’m grown, I’m a womanA very fucking strong woman

And I was sevenWas 21, was 17, and was 11It took a while to understand what my consent meansIf I was ruthless, they’d be in the penitentiaryBut all the stress of being honest wouldn’t help meI pushed it down, but it was living in me rent freeAnd then I fell into some things that were unhealthyA place where no one heard me asking them to help me

Coming like the ice cream man‘Til I felt his ice-cold handsAnd how I pay the price now, damn, God damnEverything you did, it left me in a ruinAnd no, I didn’t say a word, I guess that proves itI’m a woman

‘Cause I’m a womanI’m a very fucking brave strong womanAnd I’ll be damned if I let a man ruinHow I walk, how I talk, how I do itMan, I’ve been broken for a moment, I’ve been through it noIt’s even harder to be brave aloneI was a girl, now I’m grown, I’m a womanA very fucking strong woman, mmh

I wish I could say how I feel, how I feltAnd explain why I’m silently blaming myself‘Cause I put on these faces pretending I’m fineThen I go to the bathroom and I press rewindIn my head, always going round and round in my headYour fingerprints stuck a stain on my skinYou made me frame myself for your sinsYou pathetic, dead excuse of a manOoh-oohYeah, a brave strong womanOh-oh, yeahEh-eh, ay, oh, oh, oh
