Warrior

lyrics

​Women gonna rise like the water
Gonna shut oppression down
I hear the voice of my great grandaughter
Saying “fight for me, fight for me now”

You knocked her down
But now she’s back up
This war is far from won
You underestimated
Now she’s liberated
Look look at what she’s done
She got hit but she ain’t had
She got tears but they won’t last
She’s a daughter of the new revolution
She’s a-coming, seeking retribution

Ooo she’s a warrior
Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners
Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman
Ooo cause she’s a warrior

Her mama told her
Her mama warned her
Honey there’s a kind of man
He’ll steal your magic
Make you average
Try to pin you down and chain your hands
But bowing down ain’t a woman’s place
We worked too hard to be erased
Keep your head up, show ‘em what you’re made of
And when in doubt, remember who you came from

Ooo she’s a warrior
Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners
Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman
Ooo she’s a warrior
(Aww yeah she is)

Women gonna rise like the water
Gonna shut oppression down
I hear the voice of my great granddaughter
Saying “fight for me, fight for me now”

(Women gonna rise like the water)
Ooo she’s a warrior
(Women gonna rise like the water)
Ooo and she don’t take any prisoners
(Women gonna rise like the water)
Ooo you shoulda thought twice before messin’ with the woman
Women gonna rise, oh women gonna rise
Ooo she’s a warrior
