Lyrics
I've been knocked down baby and kicked around
I've been knocked down baby and kicked around
I am poor and I am broken
Like a no value token
They mess with my mind
They mess with my self-esteem
You know what I mean-but somewhere in between
My spirit wants to be free
I know people often look at me and say
That bitch thinks she's all that-I know she have it been through shit
I've been knocked down and kicked around
I've been knocked down and kicked around
Only god can guide me this broken ass woman
People hate me so damn much they say I gets what's coming to me
Hopefully away from their tales
I survive somehow tooth and nail
I cannot fail I shall prevail
Me this broken ass woman
This broken ass woman
Needs to be set free
It's only up to me and the man upstairs
You try to mess with my mind and take my self esteem
But it didn't work I am much stronger than that
I fight for my rights and I fight for my life
I've been knocked down baby and kicked around
I've been knocked down baby and kicked around
This broken ass woman, this broken ass woman, this broken ass woman
Needs to be set free
Like I said it's only up to me and the man upstairs
You try to mess with my mind and take my self esteem
