Lyrics

V1:
They say I can't compete because I'm not a boy
And getting dirty is just something I will not enjoy
Well imma do just what I do until you not annoyed
And for the record, girls are beautiful and not your toys
I know I got it cuz I get it from my mama
Swag on Oprah, and Taraji, and a lil Michelle Obama
I make hits, you watch TV, that's why you so in love with drama
Imma pay my way through college, give my family some commas
I'm in charge of my own future, I can't stand around and wait
Watch me kick the door down, I won't stand around the gate
I'm too busy spreading love, I don't got no time to hate
Mae C. Jemison, watch this black girl go outta space
I know this road won't be easy, I look forward to the struggle
Cuz I get back on my feet if I fall down and then I hustle
Like my mom and daddy taught me, they the best and yes I love you
Got my hands up in the air and then I flex a little muscle

Hook:
Like a girl
I don't need to be one of the boys cuz I fight
Just like a girl
I don't need to rap like all the boys cuz I write
Just like a girl
Got my head up to the sky
I'm feeling so amazing I don't need a reason why
You wanna see a winning team, take a look at mine
In the mirror like "Yeah, girl you fine"
Cuz I stunt
Just like a girl

V2:
Lemme talk to all the queens
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me what you see
I see a girl that's gonna be all that she wants to be
And won't let anybody talk her out of all her dreams
She is a warrior, a beast when she step on the scene
She ain't vegetarian but she going for all the greens
All the cream
Everything they said she wasn't capable of getting
She will never put her head down cuz she capable of winning
And she do it cuz she love it and she wanna make a difference
Every time she write a bar and every time she spit a sentence
Pay no mind to social media with haters in her mentions
Hair flipping through the noise, yeah her confidence got inches
You can't talk to her, matter of fact she think you need a muzzle
She the winning prize, she the missing pieces to the puzzle
Mom and daddy, you the best and I put nothing else above you
Put your hands up in the air, go on and flex a little muscle

Hook:
Like a girl
I don't need to be one of the boys cuz I fight
Just like a girl
I don't need to rap like all the boys cuz I write
Just like a girl
Got my head up to the sky
I'm feeling so amazing I don't need a reason why
You wanna see a winning team, take a look at mine
In the mirror like "Yeah, girl you fine"
Cuz I stunt
Just like a girl
