Thinking about it like this
I walk with no fear in my city
fear is a feeling just not within me
though sometimes I get weary, I weep in silence
I just want to be great girl, that's what I'll say
I need no lights, nothing sparkling
give me a hospital tag that reads my name, next to it says Doctor maybe Nurse
while youre at it give me a piece of property
a luxurious building with no land lord
for I am the lord of that land and all documents are to be signed with my hand
save my proceeds and distribute them to a working family of six
Mother and Father that break their neck to pay the rent
I just want to be great girl, thats what I'll say to three shadows of mine
looking up to me with those eager eyes
I can not fail
I can not detour from this road that I'm on
although the expectations I'm held to weigh a ton
I am strong
Is it okay to not be strong?
Whatever, my pride's built of iron
I walk with no fear
fear is a feeling that is just not within me
I dont care about setbacks
I just wanna be great girl, that's what I'll say to you
Enough of saying it, that's what I'll do
