Strong Woman


Dear Strong Woman,

Behind every strong man there is an even stronger woman

But we can also be strong all by ourselves

We pay our own bills, we buy our own clothes

And we don't need to depend on anybody else

 

We are soft melodies on an acoustic guitar

We are characters that put their own gas in their own car

Putting our best foot foward everyday

Making a living for ourselves in every way

 

'Cause we're beautiful, and we're flawless, but concieted at times

But God knew what he was doing when he made us

So let's show them what we're made of

 

Strong Woman, Strong Woman go ahead and slay on

Strong Woman, Strong Woman let us let the world know

how we are and how we carry oursleves

and how we pack the negativity on the shelves

So put your lipstick on and make the jaws drop everywhere

 

We are all flawed beautiful creatures

But we've got bumps and curves in our features

Showing up and Showing out on a daily

Exhibit class like a delicate daisy

We're taking the task and taking it bravely

 

Cause we're beautiful, and we're solid, but mistreated but it's fine

God knew what he was doing when he made us

So lets show them what we're made of

 

We have doctors, Lawyers, and teachers on the scene

with diplomas, bachelors, masters, or all three

so ladies if your confident in everything you do

and continue to show how we do it on queue

Then keep your head high, keep your head on your vision

and always surround yourself around a bunch of strong women

 

 

Strong woman, strong woman we are smart an unique

we are classy, we are sassy, and we are definitely chic

Strong Woman, Strong Woman, we are like eagles with wings

We take after each other like a sequel to be

Strong Woman Strong Woman you should reach for the sky

 and remember not to let nobody ask you why

 

So strong woman strong woman go ahead and slay on

Strong woman strong woman go ahead and let the world know

How you are and how you carry yourself

 And how you pack the negativity on the shelf

and put your lipstick on and make those jaws drop everywhere.
