Play God |
| I was done at 16 |
| Showin up for class |
| I was out there |
| In the ring |
| Learnin how to kick some ass |
| I was done at 16 |
| Using my momma’s key |
| It was all on me |
| Yes it was all on me |
| Weren’t no free rides |
| Weren’t no IOU’s |
| I pulled my weight |
| I paid my dues |
| And I showed up |
| To enlist |
| On the first day of recruits |
| How bout you? |
| How bout you |
| I’m my brother’s keeper |
| Every chance I can |
| I pay my taxes |
| Like any working man |
| And I feel I’ve earned |
| My right to choose |
| You don’t get to play God, man |
| I do |
| You don’t get to play God, man |
| I do |
| You get to run the world |
| In your special way |
| You get much more |
| Much more than your say |
| Government, religion |
| It’s all just patriarchy |
| I must insist |
| You leave this one thing to me |
| Just one thing that a man needs |
| To be truly free |
| This is the modern world |
| And that one thing is money |
| But there are two things |
| That a woman needs |
| Control over her own body |
| Yes I pay the price |
| On top of everything |
| Each month a bill |
| Each month a reckoning |
| And each seed that dies |
| I cry and I bleed |
| So you can’t tell me |
| No you can’t tell me |
| I am a soldier |
| It’s my blood that flows |
| I’d give my life |
| So that this tree can grow |
| You don’t know creation |
| Like I know |
| So you can’t tell me |
| No you can’t tell me |
| I’m my brother’s keeper |
| Every chance I can |
| I pay my taxes |
| Like any workin man |
| And I feel I’ve earned |
| My right to choose |
| You don’t get to play God |
| I do |
| You don’t get to play God |
| I do |
| You don’t get to play God |
| I do |
