lyrics
Lyrics by Michael Love Michael:
My father always said a man’s word is his bond but what happens when a woman’s life is less than a gun.
What happens when a woman’s life is less than a gun.
What happens when a woman’s life is less than a gun.
The same man used to make a million women cum and said I should’ve been aborted and I never forgot.
I should’ve been aborted and I never forgot.
I should’ve been aborted and I never forgot.
But my mama chose the route of the birth canal,
So now I’m here a woman worth less than a gun.
Now I’m here - a woman worth less than a gun.
Now I’m here - a woman worth less than a gun.
***
I wasn’t born a woman, say niggavangelists who see a little shadow and yell “u look like a man,”
Ashy Larrys in the street who stay clocking me, in their baggy dirty clothes doin drugs on the street
Am I any better just because I have a Chanel, that I got in Paris just to get away from this hell?
Am I any better just because a college degree gave me words for my gender effectively?
Am I any better since I contracted HIVes and I’ll take a daily pill for the rest of my life?
Am I any better cause I spent a grand on a weave of itchy European bundles that are sewn to me?
Cause I wear a lip color just to match my dress like the armor that I put on every day to exist?
I want to live my true self in a binary world, but I don’t want the stress that comes with being a girl.
Plus I’m Black and I’m queer so that makes me think:
I can never have the freedom that was meant for me.
I’m supposed to be dead by 35. In a year, I’ll disappear, find a new way to thrive.
Have to find a place where I can have a day in the sun.
Cause in America a woman’s life is less than a gun.
In America a woman’s life is less than a gun.
In America a woman’s life is less than a gun.
****
My father always said a man’s word is his bond but what happens when a woman’s worth less than a gun.
What happens when a woman’s worth is less than a gun.
What happens when a woman’s worth is less than a gun.
